Packing Tips for Self-Storage
Packing well means your belongings arrive in the same condition they left. A few principles go a long way — especially for items going into long-term storage.
- 01
Use uniform box sizes where possible
Standard-sized boxes stack more efficiently and reduce dead space in your unit, saving you money on unit size.
- 02
Label every box on the side, not the top
When boxes are stacked, side labels stay visible. Include both the contents and the destination room.
- 03
Pack heavy items in small boxes
Books, tools, and canned goods should go in small boxes — large boxes of heavy items are difficult to carry and prone to bottom failure.
- 04
Wrap fragile items individually
Each glass, plate, and ceramic piece should be wrapped separately in packing paper or bubble wrap before going into a box.
- 05
Fill boxes completely to prevent collapse
Partially-filled boxes crush under weight. Use packing paper or bubble wrap to fill gaps and keep box shape.
- 06
Store items you'll need first near the front
Leave a walking path to the back of your unit and place frequently-accessed items near the door.
