Storage Tips

Check out our handy tips to make your storage experience better.

Whether you're storing your grandma's wedding dress or a collection of comic books, these basic tips will get you started in self storage. Use boxes that are a standard size and will stack well. Try to fill the boxes as close to the top as possible without causing them to bulge. Boxes need to be even in order to stack well.


Wardrobe boxes are great for clothing. There are even specialty boxes for dishes, lamps and more. Gather up supplies like packing tape, paper and bubble wrap before you begin. Be sure to label each box clearly, and pack less-used items toward the back of your storage unit and items you might need to access more often toward the front.
