When it comes to portable storage, proper packing and organizing techniques can make all the difference. Whether you’re moving, renovating, or simply need extra storage space, efficiently packing and organizing your belongings ensures a hassle-free experience. Check out these tips and tricks for properly packing and organizing portable storage containers.

Plan ahead and create an inventory:

Before you start packing, take inventory of your belongings and create a plan.

Determine what items you will store and prioritize them based on accessibility and frequency of use. This will help you make strategic decisions when packing and organizing your portable storage container.

Use proper packing materials

Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and quality packing tape to protect your items during transportation and storage. Utilize blankets or furniture covers to shield larger items from dust and scratches.

Label each box clearly for easy identification.

Maximize vertical space:

Make the most of the vertical space by stacking boxes and furniture vertically. Place heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Use furniture corners and gaps between items to store smaller objects efficiently.

Disassemble and secure furniture:

Disassemble large furniture pieces, such as tables and bed frames, to save space and prevent damage. Keep all screws, nuts, and bolts in labeled bags and securely tape them to the corresponding furniture piece.

Wrap furniture parts with blankets or furniture covers for protection.

Create walkways and access points:

Allow for easy access to your stored items by leaving walkways and clear access points within the storage container. This will make retrieving items in the future more convenient and prevent unnecessary shifting of boxes and furniture.

Use shelving or racking systems:

Consider utilizing shelving or racking systems to maximize organization and accessibility. These systems provide additional levels of storage, keeping items neatly arranged and easily reachable.

I am so glad that we chose STORsquare for our move. Service was excellent! Adam was always available to answer questions, and they were flexible when coordinating dates for delivery, move to storage location, drop-off at new place, AND pick-up. Chris, the driver, was careful with the container during transportation. All our stuff arrived safely to our new place. Definitely recommend!

It was a pleasure renting from Storsquare. Prompted in responding to my questions, and was so simple setting up delivery and pickup dates for the pod. Price was perfect for my pocket and so convenient to have the additional storage on property.
