Packing Your Items for Storage

Packing your items for storage

Keeping your belongings in temporary storage in Mountain View is an excellent way to help facilitate a move. Watch this video to learn how to pack your belongings in a way that makes them easy to carry and less likely to break as they go to and from your storage rental.

Start by collecting sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and a permanent marker. Before you begin packing, assemble your boxes and secure their bottoms and corners with tape. Next, line any boxes that will contain fragile items with bubble wrap. After adding the fragile items, fill in any extra space with more bubble wrap. While packing, be sure to make no box weigh more than 50 pounds so you can move them into the storage unit more easily. Finally, use the marker to provide each box with a descriptive label to help keep them organized within the storage rental.
