– Use packaging boxes! Being able to stack boxes really helps reduce the amount of storage space required and saves you money.

– Choose the right box. Use smaller boxes for heavy items like books; and larger boxes for lighter items such as bedding.

– Don’t overload the boxes. Pack heavy items at the bottom to provide a stable base. Make sure the boxes remain square and don’t bulge at the sides, this way the boxes will stack better in your storage unit.

– Place any delicate items in their own cocoon of bubble wrap for added protection. The more layers of bubble wrap the better!

– Label your boxes! Although not essential for storage, it may save you time when need something later!

– Put any large soft items such as mattresses and sofa’s into covers. These cover’s act like sleeve’s and are excellent at keeping your items pristine as they come in and out of storage.
