At UNITS®, we think you shouldn’t have to choose between saving money and having plenty of space when it comes to storage. You can save money on storage by properly packing your belongings. The team at UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Charleston has a few more ideas for how to organize your stuff in storage (and avoid the hassle).

Types of boxes and containers to hold personal belongings

Filing boxes are excellent for saving space because they stack securely and can save room. You could even store bigger things in them if necessary. To combine the clothes from multiple wardrobes into one storage area, use wardrobe storage boxes. The same can be said for storage containers that make efficient use of vertical storage, which is the most space-saving storage method available.

Stacking and storing with efficiency

Take extra care in folding clothes to ensure that they don’t wrinkle and fit properly into storage containers and stacking systems. Linens, towels, bedsheets, blankets, and comforters should all be folded flat before storing them. If you can’t store everything, consider donating it to charity or selling it online.

Disassemble furniture

Always disassemble larger furniture before storing it. Individual items such as headboards and bed frames should be stored upright. Separate table legs from the tabletop if you can, or stack things underneath and on top to make the most of the space in the unit.

UNITS portable storage containers allow you to store all of your belongings in one easy-to-find location. We hope that by learning from these ideas, you may make the most of your area as efficiently as possible! Whether you are moving or simply need the extra space, call UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Charleston at (843) 203-0700, or contact us online to book your container today!
