Packing and Boxes for Storage

When you are packing the items to be stored away, the best way to keep them safe is to use boxes. If you are planning a long-term storage solution for your goods, it is important that you get the right sized boxes. This is because if the box is too small, then your items will be at risk of becoming damaged from being squashed together in one place. On the other hand, if you use a box which is too large, then the displaced air can create condensation and increase the risk of mould occurring on the items stored.

Getting the right size boxes is important in prepping items for storage because they need to fit all of the items in without straining or stretching. You also need to consider where it is going to be stored and how much weight it needs to take. As an example, some flat-packed cardboard boxes can handle up to 25kgs each comfortably so these might be ideal for lightweight items such as documents and stationery but if you're storing heavier items like books or kitchenware then it might be advisable to look into stronger made boxes.

Storing Your Boxes

Once you've gathered together all of your boxes, it's important to label them all clearly as this will make locating particular items much easier once they are in storage. In addition, make sure that none of the boxes have any empty space inside them as this could lead to them getting crushed; instead, fill any gaps with soft cloth or material to provide extra cushioning and support. Finally, when storing your packed away goods it is recommended that you stack lighter boxes on top of heavier ones and put bigger boxes underneath smaller ones as this will free up more space and give better stability – both reducing the likelihood of any accidents happening when retrieving/placing back into storage afterwards.
