Choose the Right Boxes
Use sturdy boxes for heavy items and smaller boxes for fragile items. Our Box Shop in Upper Coomera and Southport offers a variety of sizes to fit your needs.
Maximise Unit Space
Stack boxes neatly, keeping heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top. Use plastic bins for smaller items that need extra protection, and leave aisles for easy access.
Label Everything
Label all your boxes with a brief description of the contents. Make sure to clearly mark fragile items to avoid damage. Our labels and markers make this step easy.
Protect Fragile Items
Use bubble wrap, packing paper, or foam fillers for delicate items like glassware, electronics, and antiques. Store fragile items towards the top of your unit for extra protection.
Climate Control
For sensitive items such as electronics or documents, consider using a climate-controlled unit. This helps maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels to avoid damage.
Vehicle Storage Tips
For car storage or motorcycles, clean and prepare your vehicle before storage. Check fluid levels, disconnect the battery, and cover it to keep it in pristine condition until you’re ready to use it.
