Storage Houston Packing Tips

Always use high-quality packing boxes designed especially for the storage job. Packing boxes and supplies can be purchased at all of our locations.
Always fill boxes to capacity; partially full boxes may tip or collapse. We recommend packing paper or peanuts for this purpose when you use self storage.
Pack heavy items in smaller boxes for easier lifting.
Use same size boxes for easy storage stacking.
Seal boxes completely with packing tape to keep boxes sturdy.
Label boxes on the top and on multiple sides for easy identification.
Unplug, clean, and defrost refrigerators completely before the move.
Put everything you possibly can in a box. We have storage boxes for every item such as pictures, lampshades, clothes, and electronics. Boxes make items easier to move and helps keep them clean.
Dishes and glasses should be wrapped in packing paper, bubble wrap, or a Pro-Pack system.

You may occasionally need to enter your storage space and find a particular item:

Make sure all your boxes are labeled on their sides and can be seen from the storage door.
By using plastic storage containers, you can easily and safely stack your storage items.
Store all couches (except sofa beds) on end to maximize storage space.
Protect mattresses and furniture with pads and covers and store on end.
Use shelving to maximize the height inside your storage space.
Store frequently used items near the door to your space.
Leave a center aisle for easier access to all stored items.
Use same size boxes for easy stacking and to maximize storage space.
Disassemble tables and shelves and store them on their sides, and wrap and mark all pieces for easier reassembly.
Stack chairs seat to seat with cloth or paper to separate them.
Never store mirrors or pictures flat. Always wrap these items with paper pads or use mirror boxes.
Clean refrigerators and freezers and leave doors slightly ajar. Use the space inside for more storage space.
Use all empty spaces inside furniture for additional storage. This will help the furniture become more stable.
