Putting on labels makes it easier for you to locate where these items are or where they should be placed or even to whom they belong to. This is helpful when you have a storage or compartments full of different items and you are only looking for a particular item. This saves you time and effort as you don’t have to look at each storage by taking each one of them out and putting it back again and repeat the same process every single time. Just looking for items on label saves you time and energy.

It is recommended that when you store several items together, you store them as a group that belongs together or at least be related to each other in terms of function. The reason is that you don’t have to label them separately and you can just label them on the box or whatever storage you are using.

For example, you can label seasonal items together. Christmas decorations such as wall decors and Christmas trees are often stored when the Yuletide season is over or haven’t started yet. You can store them in one storage altogether and label them as Christmas items instead of having to label every single Christmas item when you store them apart in different storages.

You can also organize and label items by grouping them together by where they should be or to whom they specifically belong. If you are storing your child’s toys or clothing, you can label it as a group that specifies that it is your child’s items. That makes it easier to find his toys and avoiding the hassle of going through different boxes of toys or clothes that may belong to a sibling or a different member of the family.

It’s important that these labels are placed where you can easily see them and make sure that the labels you use are durable and won’t be removed or erased so quickly.

Tips in Packing for Your Storage Unit Properly

Posted by Sydney Removalists on February 8, 2013

In Australia, we all know that storage units are best for storing equipment, furniture and etc. and that we won’t need or use it on a regular basis. But just like packing when you are relocating, it is important that you pack your storage facility properly to maximize the space.

Here are some tips in storing in your items in your storage unit

Preparing Your Storage Unit
Before putting your items in your rented storage facility in Australia, you should visit and prepare it first so that you won’t cram come storing day. Placing plastic sheeting or cardboard on the floor will not only keep the area clean; but it will also help in sliding the boxes and furniture along the floor.

And although most storage units in Australia are temperature-controlled, it is better to ask the representatives if there are or will be issues about climate control. In this case, you may want to put deodorizers and vermin bait in the unit to keep out smells or rodents.

When placing the boxes in the unit, it is advisable that you place items that you want to get to often close to the entrance. Put computers, electronic equipment and power tools at the back. Also, always consider an aisle for walking. You should also put heavy boxes at the bottom and the lighter ones on top.

Breakable Items
When packing breakable items, wrap them in old newspaper or bubble wrap and place them inside furniture drawers instead of boxes. This should be your SOP if you don’t want any broken or missing parts in your valuables.

Additionally, you should also put clothes or newspapers around the edges of the furniture drawers so that the items will not move while in transit. If you are storing heirloom pieces, use wardrobe boxes as holders and secure it in a bubble wrap. After that, you should cover it in plastic to avoid dust and other elements from getting in.

Outdoor Equipment
When placing outdoor equipment in your unit, gather them together in one side and before storage, drain any fluids. Do not store paint, chemicals and combustible items in your unit. Store lawn tools in a trash can and avoid putting items in garbage bag. Tie hoes, rakes and shovels together.

Remember, the key in maximizing the space in your self-storage unit in Australia is through planning in advance, proper equipment packing and strategic placing of boxes.
