Brings you value with service and reliability for all your storage needs!
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.
Packing Specialty Items
- 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.
Packing Your Room:
- 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.
