As a general rule place large, heavy items that you can stack upon at the rear of the space. Then work forwards and upwards with lighter, fragile items. Those items that you may need to access often, place in the front of the space. Depending on the goods you have stored, you may need to allow for walk ways. Packing in professional storage cartons will make the storing and unpacking easier and safer, saving you time and worry. Professional packing and storage accessories will provide your goods with the preparation they need for storage and maintain their condition for the term of the storage.

The use of packing accessories such as boxes, tape, bubble-wrap and plastic covers will maintain and protect your goods whilst in storage. Packaging Materials are available at 1st Storage Centres to help you with your move.
Fill boxes to capacity – partially full or bulging cartons may tip or collapse.
Heavy items like books or tools should be packed in small boxes so they are easy to handle.
Books should be packed flat, not on their spines.
Packing and labeling boxes room by room makes the unpacking much easier, and if you need to find something in storage you will have some idea of which box to begin looking in.
