Storage Tips

Always put the heavier boxes on the bottom and the lighter ones on top of the heavier ones. This will prevent boxes from being crushed.
Be sure to store frequently used items at the front of the unit to avoid having to search for them.
Clothing and draperies should be stored in wardrobe boxes, on hangers, to retain their original shapes.
Label the boxes on all six sides and keep a list for easy reference. This will save you time if you have to look for something in particular.
Rubbermaid containers are great to store your items. They have tight fitting lids and stack easily. Keep the more valuable items in the rear of the unit. This will prevent others from seeing them when you are in your unit.
To protect your items cover them with moving pads, sheets, or light blankets.
Utilize all the space in your unit. Make a plan as to how you are going to arrange your items. A good plan will save you the time of having to rearrange your unit. Leave an aisle in the center of your unit so that you have a walk way to the back of the unit.
When wrapping collectibles or anything breakable, tape it after you wrap it. This should avoid mistaking them for excess paper to fill the box. Use bubble wrap or unprinted paper to wrap breakables. Group similar items together and mark the boxes accordingly.
