- Books should be packed flat to protect their spines.
- Suitable archive boxes or packing cartons should be used. Not only will you save space and offer the best protection for your goods or records, but your goods will also be easier to retrieve.
- Fill empty pockets in the boxes with packing materials.
- Make sure that all boxes are clearly labeled to easily identify contents.
- Lighter boxes should always be placed on top to prevent collapse of those underneath.
- Be certain that all items to be stored are clean and free from anything that may attract pests.
- Self storage facilities frequently sell boxes, packing materials, etc. to help protect your goods.
- It's important to remember that all electrical equipment must be thoroughly cleaned and dry before it is stored.
