To Maximize Space

  • Use Shelving Units

    For small or awkward-shaped items, using shelving units can save space while staying organized.

  • Stack According to Weight

    Heavy items on the bottom and smaller boxes on top. This will keep your items from being crushed.

  • Disassemble Large Items

    Items such as tables and beds should be taken apart and screws can be kept in a sandwich bag.

To Allow Easy Access

  • Make an Aisle

    At some point you may want to reach a box in the back so keeping an aisle will help you navigate later.

  • Label Every Box

    Labeling and keeping contents of the same type together will help you locate items.

  • Use Furniture Sliders

    Putting furniture sliders underneath heavy items such as couches can make a huge difference.​

To Avoid Damage

  • Bubble Wrap Breakables

    Reusable and transparent in case you need to see what's inside. ​

  • Fill Up Boxes

    Fill up boxes to prevent internal shifting and item breakage.

  • Place Mattresses Flat

    Otherwise the padding will shift to one side over time.

To Keep Out Pests

  • Use Dryer Sheets

    You can use dryer sheets in the corners of your unit to cover smells, but we recommend changing them every 30 days.

  • Avoid Plastic Bags

    Not only are plastic bags thin and easily penetrated, but they also lock in moisture which can lead to mold.

  • Storing A Vacuum?

    Make sure the vacuum bag is completely empty. Accidentally storing old food may bring unwanted guests.
