The Benefits of Packing Your Belongings with Care
Before sending expensive goods off to self-storage, it is important to take the time to pack them correctly. Packing goods with care will help keep them safe for the entire duration of their stay in storage. When packing goods, be sure to use the right type of box or packaging and to adequately secure your products so they don't move around in transit. Using bubble wrap or newsprint is also necessary when packing fragile items such as glassware and electronics, as this will provide extra protection against any potential knocks and bumps along the way.
It's best to avoid stacking boxes on top of each other if you can, as this could cause them to become damaged over time. Reinforce heavier boxes with tape or straps, and if possible number the boxes so that you can easily identify which ones contain what when you come to retrieve them from Storage Rainham. Labelling every box can also help make things easier when it comes to sorting through what's inside.
What Size boxes Should You Use?
When packing for self-storage, it's important that you don't pack too much into one box. Not only is this dangerous due to the weight of the items (for both yourself and the people who'll be moving it), but it could also mean that the box breaks, leading to items becoming damaged in transit. Consider using smaller boxes if there are heavy items involved, as these are much easier to carry and won't break apart as easily. If you're unsure about what size boxes you should use, call and our friendly team at Storage Rainham will be able to advise accordingly.
If there are any awkward or large objects that need storing and cannot fit into a regular sized box then specialised crates may be needed for these items. Make sure that anything of value is wrapped securely before being placed in the crate, so it doesn't move during transit and different layers are used between objects so they don’t get scratched or marked while travelling.
Finally, always factor in leaving some extra space in a box or crate when packing fragile items - usually an inch of space either side is advisable. This allows for extra cushioning so even if the box were knocked around during transportation, any damage would be minimised significantly by providing more room for movement within the packaging itself.
Overall, taking the time out to carefully pack your belongings will not only save on any potential breakages but will also ensure peace of mind knowing that your possessions are safe and secure throughout their stay in storage. Rainham storage takes all precautions possible when handling stored goods but proper preparation from the customer is still essential for optimal security and protection during transit and storage.
