Packing And Boxes Elmers End br3
Packing and Boxes Basics
If you are moving home or even just have some items to store away, packing efficiently will make everything a lot simpler. It’s time-consuming to do properly, but it's worth the effort in the long run. There are a few essentials you should keep in mind when packing items for storage.
First of all, you need to choose the right type of box for your items. For example, if you plan on storing fragile items like glasses, dishes and other breakables then double wall boxes are most suitable. If heavier items are what you're storing then triple wall boxes provide extra protection and strength for those heavier things. Storage Elmers End can provide boxes of all shapes and sizes that are tailored to fit almost anything.
The next important step is to wrap any delicate items individually so they don’t shift or get damaged during transit or while in storage. Keep these wrapped items separated with tissue paper or bubble wrap to prevent them from clattering together and causing scratches or chips. Packing your possessions securely is essential so it’s crucial that each layer in the box is cushioned with material such as newspaper or foam peanuts. This provides additional protection and reduces any movement inside the box which could cause damage.
Storage Tips from Storage Elmers End
At Storage Elmers End, we’ve seen thousands of people come through our doors looking for storage space, either for small amounts of clothing or furniture all the way up to large storage units for business materials. To help make your experience as simple and straightforward as possible, we’ve put together some tips that will help with efficient packing:
1. Have a plan before you start - Take an inventory of your belongings so you know exactly what needs packing and categorise each item into a box based on size and weight. This makes sure everything has its own spot in a box so no mistakes can be made when loading it on the truck or stacking it in your storage unit. You should also label each box clearly according to its contents so you can find stuff easily later on.
2. Make use of odd spaces - Moving furniture isn’t always necessary when moving house, so try and make use of whatever spaces you can find! Put smaller items inside drawers, cupboards, wardrobes and appliances - they'll save precious space when everything's loaded into the van!
3. Stack boxes & furniture correctly - When loading up your boxes and furniture onto a van or into your storage unit, don't just stack randomly! The heavier boxes should go at the bottom and lighter ones can go on top as long as they won't cause any strain on yourself or anyone else doing the heavy lifting!
