Packing Tips

If you are moving house, relocating your office or just want to store some of your belongings to create more space at home, you need to ensure that your items are packed correctly and protected during transit and storage.

Cube Self Storage Packing Tips

Ensure you have the right equipment for your packing. Not only will you need boxes to pack your belongings into, but you will also need marker pens to label your boxes, bubble wrap to protect delicate items such as glasses and tape to secure each box. Tape guns are also useful and worth investing in as they will make assembling and sealing each box that much easier. If you are storing clothes, why not avoid folding and creasing your items and use wardrobe boxes instead to hang your clothes?   

Cube has a range of boxes to suit your packing and storage needs. 

Protect your breakable items using bubble wrap. Line boxes with bubble wrap and then wrap individual items at least twice in bubble wrap. Fill spaces in each box with packing paper to stop the items moving during transit.

Use furniture covers to protect furniture e.g. mattresses. If storing wooden or leather furniture, clean the items with furniture protection e.g. wax/leather shine to keep your furniture in good condition during storage. 

Keep your furniture protected.

Dampness can cause problems for storage items. When packing, ensure each item is dry and clean to prevent dampness. At Cube Self Storage, our climate controlled units help reduce moisture.

Climate Controlled Storage protects your items. 

Record what is in each box as you pack and label each box accordingly. This will enable you to find the correct box quickly should you need to retrieve something from storage. 

Don't forget to label those boxes!
