Smart packing is important for keeping your items and valuables stored in good shape. It will also help you maximize the storage space in your unit, take advantage and put every inch of the space to good use. Every week in this blog and on our Facebook page, we like to share tips and ideas that are designed to help you keep those items you love so much, safe and sound. What you love, we love! So here are 4 simple, quick and easy ideas to help properly store your items: If you have any collectible items or anything breakable really, you should tape the items after wrapping them. That will make sure the wrap won't come undone while the boxes are being moved around, which could potentially damage your items. Books get really heavy, really quickly, so it's best to pack them in smaller boxes, for easy lifting. It's always best to pack them flat too, in order to help protect their spines. Always place a protective waterproof dust cover over your sofas and love-seats, and don't forget the cushions. Wrap the cushions in plastic, and place them on top. Use packing tape to seal your boxes, and help keep dust and bugs away from your belongings. Put these tips to work toward your advantage.
