What’s better than leaving storage with room to spare? Save on storage costs by properly packing your belongings. Put everything into storage neatly, efficiently, and exactly how you want it arranged when you retrieve your items.  Read on for some helpful tips from the team at UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Atlanta.

Types of boxes and containers to hold personal belongings

Filing-type boxes are perfect for storage because they stack securely, allowing you to save space if storage is an issue. You could even store larger items in them if needed. Use wardrobe storage boxes to consolidate the clothes from multiple wardrobes into one storage area. The same goes for storage boxes that make full use of vertical storage, which is the most space efficient storage option available.

Stacking and storing with efficiency

Fold clothes carefully to make sure they won’t wrinkle and that they fit into storage containers and stacking systems effectively. Fold up everything flat before storage, including linens, towels, bed sheets, blankets, and comforters. If you can’t fit it all in storage, consider donating the items to charity or selling them online.

Disassemble furniture

Always take apart larger furniture items before placing them in storage. Disassemble table legs and store individual items such as headboards and bed frames in an upright position. If your tables do not come apart, then stack items underneath and on top to maximize the space in the unit.

UNITS® portable storage containers keep all of your belongings in one centralized location that’s easy to navigate through. We hope these tips help you to utilize the space as efficiently as possible. Whether you are moving or simply need the extra space, call UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Atlanta at (678) 235-9053 or contact us online to book your container today!
