Make the most of your box with simple techniques — applies to any operator.
Stack heavier boxes at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Use modular shelving to take advantage of the ceiling height.
Number and describe the contents of every box. Keep a master list on your phone — you'll thank yourself later.
Store rarely used items at the back. Keep a central aisle so you can reach what you need without unpacking everything.
Use covers, cardboard and bubble wrap on tables, sofas and headboards. Disassemble whatever you can to save space.
Fridge and washing machine must be clean and fully dry before storage. Leave the door slightly open to prevent mould.
Plates and glasses go individually wrapped in paper or bubble wrap, vertically, inside a smaller rigid box.
Take batteries out of remotes, flashlights and toys before storing — leaks ruin the item.
Silica gel or ready-made packs absorb humidity and protect documents, electronics and fabrics.
Polypropylene folders protect better than cardboard boxes and stack without crushing.
Before sealing the box, take photos of the contents. Useful for insurance and helps you remember what's inside.
