The Importance of Packing and Boxes

When it comes to packing your possessions for storage, the right packing and boxes can make all the difference. This is especially true if you're storing delicate items like artwork, electronics or anything breakable. When looking for packing and boxes, you want materials that are strong and durable enough to protect against knocks and bumps in transit. There's no point investing in a storage unit to keep your items safe, only to find that they've already been damaged by inadequate packaging.

At Storage North Harrow, we understand the importance of packing and boxes for successful self storage. Before helping people find their ideal storage solution, we make sure our clients are well informed about their packing needs. We provide quality packing materials such as bubble wrap, corrugated cardboard sheets, plain cardboard boxes or plastic crates, so your belongings are well protected from any potential damage while they’re in storage.

How To Choose The Right Boxes For Your Storage

Whether you plan on shipping your items or simply need something more portable when moving them into self storage, it's important to pick the right box. Here are some tips on how to select the suitable boxes for your storage:

• Choose sturdy cardboard boxes with strong walls: By picking more robust cardboard boxes with thicker walls, there is less chance of them collapsing when stacked with other boxes.

• Opt for plastic over cardboard: Plastic crates offer an additional layer of protection over cardboard boxes as they come with a secure handle system which makes them easier to stack together.

• Look for double-walled containers: If you’re aiming for maximum protection then look for double-walled containers or reinforced bins filled with polystyrene foam.

• Check the integrity of used packaging materials: Used packaging materials can be a great way to save money but always check them for integrity before you buy. Damaged packaging materials are never going to provide adequate protection.

• Label everything: Label each box accurately with its contents and identify which room it belongs in will make unloading easier.

Practicing good storage habits is essential if you want your possessions remain intact while in self storage. So make sure you get the right type of packing and boxes and don’t forget to label everything clearly. Need help?
