Many of our customers at UNITS ask how to pack their belongings. There are many things to consider when packing: weight of boxes, durability of belongings, and ease of access. Here are a few of my favorite moving tips:

• Do not over pack boxes; bulging box sides can damage surrounding boxes and not protect what is inside.

• Place liquid containers in plastic bags to reduce the chance of leaking.

• Reinforce boxes with an extra strip of packing tape!

• Place heavy items in the bottom of the box and lighter ones on top.

• Remove light bulbs from lamps before packing.

• Place lamp shades in boxes to protect from denting.

• Never pack any item that could cause a fire or damage to the UNIT (no toxic materials, gas, kerosene, fireworks, loaded firearms)

• Pack items from the same room in the same box to make unpacking easier.

• Pack some everyday, so you are not overwhelmed with packing all in one day.

I hope these tips help when packing your UNITS mobile storage container. Remember UNITS Mobile Storage is only a phone call away (414-476-8648) when you need some advice. Check out these additional packing tips from our web site. Happy packing!

Our ground level access makes loading and unloading safe and easy.  The translucent roof allows light to filter through to aid with better visibility during the packing and unpacking process.

All our storage containers feature the E-strap system which allows items to be strapped right to the UNIT frame.  You will have piece of mind knowing your belongings are secure and dry and not subjected to damage that is possible with traditional moving and storage services.
