1. Make packing for storage easier on yourself by planning ahead.
Start by listing all the items you're going to store and their approximates sizes.
Also, gather up plenty of sturdy, corrugated cartons, packing paper, bubble
wrap, sealing tape and marker pens, along with any furniture covers or
shelving you intend to use in your storage unit.
2. Pack as much as you can in the same size boxes.. but be careful - bulging
cartons tip when stacked, while half full boxes tend to collapse. Use wadded
up newsprint, bubblewrap, towels &/or blankets to fill empty space. For
maximum protection seal cartons with tape.
3. Pack heavy items such as books and tools in small boxes for easier handling.
4. Clearly label boxes so you know their contents. Keep a list (as well as
pictures and descriptions) at your home or office for reference. Mark clearly all
boxes containing fragile items.
5. Clean and dry appliances before storing. Secure any movable parts with
newspaper. During transport, tape all appliance doors shut.
6. Tape or tie bed rails together.
Mark the pieces for easier assembly later. Place covers or plastic bags on
mattresses to keep them clean during storage.
7. Pack books flat to protect their spines.
Line cartons with plastic and fill empty spaces with packing paper.
8. Use bureau drawers to store small, fragile items.
Secure items in drawer by filling empty spaces with towels or packing paper.
9. Protect chair legs by wrapping them in packing paper.
Leave slipcovers on upholstered chairs and cover them with plastic chair
covers.
10. Hang clothes and draperies in wardrobe boxes.
Add mothballs or cedar chips for extra protection
11. Use lots of paper to pack dishes and glassware.
Place a layer of packing paper inside the bottom and top of cartons. Wrap
each dish and glass separately and cushion them with crumpled paper. Plates
are best stacked on edge.
12. Pack lamps and lampshades in individual boxes.
Use plenty of clean paper or clothing for padding.
