Systematic packing and organizing of your belongings is necessary to efficiently make use of all the space in your self-storage unit. Arranging your possessions in an organized manner will allow you to find important items easily when you need them.

Exit 42 Self-Storage in Troutman, NC, offers some cool tips you can use to make your self-storage unit experience easier:

• Make A Systematic Plan: Carefully plan how you’ll arrange your stuff so that all the space in your storage unit will be utilized. Make sure that the layout allows room for movement. Leave enough space for a walkway so that you can always access your belongings stored at the back.
• Label Boxes & Containers: Label each box, bag, and container so that you can easily locate your books, documents, clothes, and other items. When packing, make sure your containers aren’t too heavy to lift, and stack lighter boxes on top of heavier ones.
• Disassemble Furniture: Disassemble tables, bed frames, lamps, and other furniture as applicable. Wrap them before placing them inside a box. Disassemble electronic appliances, such as computers and stereos, and label all the cords and hardware. You can also use drawers to store smaller things and save space.
• Protect Your Furniture: Cover your dressers and couch with sheets, blankets or protective pads, and stack light boxes on them. Wrap smaller items with newspaper and bubble wrap.
