Here are our top hints & tips to get you started...
Ask for help
Asking for a little help will save a lot of time – it could also save you money! As the self store experts, we can give friendly advice on how to make packing simple and reduce the amount of space you need.
Label your boxes
Each time you pack a box, label it clearly with a marker pen and indicate the contents on a side that’s easily visible when the box is stacked.
Pack books separately
Don’t forget that books and papers can be heavy: packing these in smaller containers will help prevent injury while lifting.
Use sturdy packaging
Sturdy packaging means you can stack your goods and minimise the amount of space you need.
Fill boxes to capacity
Boxes should be filled to capacity to prevent tipping, but weight may mean it’s better to have more smaller boxes than larger ones.
