Packing And Boxes: The Basics
When it comes to packing and boxes, there are a few basics that you should be aware of in order to get the most out of your storage space. Firstly, investing in good quality boxes is key, so try to find ones which are strong and sturdy with handles securely attached, as this will make moving them easier and less likely to result in tears or rips. You can typically find boxes in sizes ranging from 12x12x12 inches all the way up to 24x24x24 inches, however, the size you choose will depend on what sort of items you plan on storing.
Before you fill up your boxes, make sure that everything is wrapped properly for protection and has at least one layer of bubble wrap or other packaging material. Doing this will help ensure the safety of all stored items and prevent them from getting damaged during transit or while stored away. Additionally, it's a good idea to label each box with its contents - ideally both inside and outside - so you can easily identify what is inside when the time comes to retrieve something.
Boxes And Packing Strategies
Depending on what items you'll be packing away in boxes, there may be certain strategies that you should employ in order to maximise the use of space available. Generally speaking, heavier items should be placed at the bottom whilst lighter items should be packed away towards the top; this avoids toppling or imbalance which could lead to breakages or other damage. For breakable items such as glassware or chinaware, these should be packed separately from other items, wrapped carefully individual and placed at the very top of the box for added protection.
Also remember that if you're planning on storing any large and awkward furniture pieces then disassembling them beforehand can save significantly on space and ultimately cost. If leaving parts bolted together then consider using cushioning around them to minimise contact with other items, as doing so will reduce the risk of potential chips/scratches and further damage during transit or storage.
