Storage Tips | Storage King USA

Packing Your Goods:

Only pack dry goods in order to prevent mildew.
Using the same size boxes will better utilize space.
Take home more boxes than you think you need. Storage King USA will gladly refund your unused boxes.
Use small boxes for heavier items and large boxes for lighter goods.
Number your boxes and mark contents on both sides.
Use plenty of packing material. Bubble wrap, towels, blankets, pillows, and paper work well.
If you use normal newspaper, the ink may bleed and cause permanent damage.

Use specialty boxes like wardrobe boxes and dishpaks for dishes, glasses and clothing.
Tie appliance doors shut with rope.
Fasten bed rails together with rope and keep mattresses clean with mattress covers.
Wrap paper around chair legs and protect them with chair covers.
Use dishpak cartons. Fill bottom, sides, and top with extra packing material. Use specialized foam, paper, or light bubble wrap. Don’t forget to mark these boxes as fragile.
With lamps, remove lightbulbs and lampshades. Pack the shades in their own box with plenty of packing paper.
Wrap mirrors in plain paper or light bubble wrap and place in special mirror boxes.
Stand sofas on end to save space and cover your sofas with plastic covers and blankets.

Leaving a hallway in a larger room will allow you easier access to your goods.
Place items that you will need frequent access to in the front of the room.
Shelving helps you maximize and organize space while allowing you easier access to your goods.
Put the heaviest items on the bottom and cover furniture with dust covers or furniture blankets.
