Moving and Storage Supplies

Packing Preparations

  • Allocate packing time. Begin packing well in advance to maintain organization and efficiency. Allocate sufficient time to avoid feeling hurried, recognizing that the process typically takes longer than expected.
  • Gather packing materials. Have all necessary supplies on hand before starting. This includes visiting one of our local facilities to secure boxes, packing paper, Bubble Wrap, packing tape, furniture covers, and marker pens.
  • Reserve a moving truck. Book a moving truck ahead of time to avoid last-minute hassles rather than assuming one will be available when needed. In addition to U-Haul rentals, some Premium Spaces facilities offer free moving trucks to new renters moving in.

Staying Organized

  • Label everything. Be sure to label every box, marking each side to indicate the contents inside and whether they contain delicate items. Keep an inventory of what has been packed and what still needs attention.
  • Opt for smaller boxes. Keep boxes manageable in size for easy lifting, particularly for those containing heavy items. Each box should weigh no more than 30 pounds. Use packing materials to fill any empty spaces inside the boxes.
  • Utilize drawer space. Maximize storage space by placing smaller objects in drawers, refrigerators, and other furniture with interior space. Protect fragile items by cushioning them with Bubble Wrap or towels.
