Before the big day when you move your office or residential items to your self-storage unit, you must have the right packing supplies. Without them, it will be hard to ensure everything arrives in one piece. Here are the first basic supplies you will need.
Cardboard boxes and permanent markers
You will need boxes of all sizes. Remember not to overload large boxes with heavy objects; pack them at the bottom and place lighter ones on top. Also, use permanent markers to label each box with its contents and add useful details to make unpacking easier.
Bubble wrap and packing paper
Bubble wrap is vital to protect fragile items like china or glassware. Combine it with basic packing paper to fill gaps in the boxes, preventing items from shifting during transport. Brown paper is ideal since it doesn’t stain your belongings with ink.
Furniture covers
Covers or blankets are excellent tools to protect your furniture from dust and scratches. Secure them with bungee cords or non-residue tape for maximum protection.
