Regarding using your valuables to occupy that extra space, Brilliant Storage Limited can prove to be your best friend. Packing for small storage, however, is like playing Tetris—only your high score counts for a flawlessly ordered storage space. Being lovers of storage, we have prepared useful advice to help you on this trip of organization. All set to start and load those boxes like a champion?
Do: Mark everything like a professional.
Imagine this: six months from now you are searching among a sea of identical boxes for your holiday decorations. Sounds hectic, indeed. Labeling every package on several sides helps to prevent the headache. Use anything floats your boat, bold markers, color-coded stickers, or otherwise! You might even turn into the Picasso of the packaging industry.
Do not: Ignore the inventory list.
Although creating an inventory list sounds as enjoyable as watching paint dry, believe us; it saves lives. Though perhaps not life, time and rationality absolutely rule. List everything found in every box. Keep another duplicate on your phone and tuck one inside. The next time you need that little kitchen tool you hardly use, you’ll know exactly which box keeps it captive.
Do: Make appropriate use of boxes and containers.
It can be seductive to take every gratis grocery box from your neighbourhood shop. Steers clear of it! Though they seem strong, they often physically break under strain. Make superior box or plastic container investments. They protect your stuff and stack better. Your future self will be thanks.
Do not overstuff boxes.
Although filling boxes to the brim seems quick, they will be ticking time bombs just ready to blow. Rather, build cushioning from those seeming wasted vacant areas. Works well with soft items like bubble wrap or towels. Avoiding box breaks and needless heavy lifting depends on finding balance with weight.
