When you decide to rent a personal storage unit for your belongings, you should keep in mind you may want to go back occasionally to get things. In that case, you’ll need to pack them away in an organized fashion so you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for. Packing efficiently also helps you optimize your space so you can fit more into your storage unit. 

How to Organize Your Personal Storage Unit

1. Use the Same Size Boxes

Instead of using a combination of large and small boxes, keeping them a uniform size makes it easier to stack them. Try to fill each box to the top, as extra room can make the box cave in if something’s placed on top of it.

2. Label Everything

Label each box with a category, such as “clothing” or “office supplies.” This will make it easier if you need to go back to get something or when you’re unpacking, so you can always find what you need.

3. Prioritize 

Labeling your boxes also makes it easier to prioritize when you’re stacking boxes in your personal storage unit. Try to decide which items you may need to go back for, and put those boxes at the front of the storage unit at the top of the stacks. Items you want to store long term can go in the back of the unit.
