Storage units in Killeen, TX are useful for a variety of purposes - they can be used when you need a long-term place to store seasonal items or old furniture, when you need a temporary location to keep personal items when you’re in the middle of a move, and more. Whatever the reason that you are renting a storage unit in Killeen, it is important to plan for your move in advance. By getting everything organized before moving day, you can make your move as easy and stress-free as possible. Here are some moving supplies that you should acquire at least a week before moving day: Boxes and Packing Tape Of course, boxes and packing tape are absolute musts when you are moving personal items into storage. At U.S. Storage Centers, we recommend using heavy-duty boxes that are strong enough to hold heavy items - like dishes - without breaking through and recommend getting boxes in a few different sizes. Also, remember that while larger boxes hold more, they can be more challenging to move, especially when filled with heavy things like books. Don’t forget labels, too! Stretch Wrap Another important moving supply that you should think about purchasing if you are moving any furniture is stretch wrap. Stretch wrap sticks to itself, so you don’t have to worry about any gooey residue, and can be used to secure drawers on dressers and cabinets. You can also stretch wrap chairs and tables to protect surfaces from scratches during the moving process. Bubble Wrap and Padding When packing fragile items, ranging from dishware to collectibles, bubble wrap and padding is a must. Bubble wrap or soft packing should be used to line the entire perimeter of a box, and should also be used in between items. When paired with dish organizers/dish packs, you can rest assured that your items will be protected from breaking, lest the box is dropped! Mattress Covers and Furniture Protectors You should always cover your mattress with a mattress cover to protect it from dust and pests. You should also cover furniture to both protect against dust, and to protect against any accidental damage to the furniture that could befall it during the moving process, such as dings and dents.
