General Tips
Use of packaging accessories.
The use of packaging accessories such as cartons, rope ties, paper, tape, bubblewrap and plastic covers will maintain and protect your goods whilst in storage. Uniform size boxes are easier to stack and will be more space-efficient.
How should I label cartons?
Use a bold marker pen to label all cartons on all sides. Keep a list of the labelled cartons for easy reference.
Packing and labelling cartons room-by-room makes the unpacking much easier. If you need to find something in storage, then you will have some idea in which carton to begin looking.
How full should I pack cartons?
Fill cartons to capacity. Seal all boxes carefully with tape to provide better protection for the contents. Partially full or bulging cartons may tip or collapse. Heavy items like books or tools should be packed in small cartons so they are easy to handle.
What sort of lock should I use?
Remember to use a good quality lock on the door. Remember to insure your goods.
