The Benefits of Packing and Boxes

Packing your items properly is essential for keeping them safe during a storage period. While our secured storage units and surveillance teams provide the reassurance that your items will be kept safe from harm, you can further protect them by packing your items into boxes and ensuring that all materials are sealed securely.

Using designated boxes when storing items is also beneficial in terms of organisation; when packing items away in boxes it can be easier to find the things you need again later on. Using label markers to write on the outside of each box can help too, saving valuable time when you come to open up a box at a later date. The right choice of boxes can also make more sense; corrugated cardboard boxes are good for stacking as they allow air to circulate, while plastic storage crates are extremely strong and suitable for heavier items.

Using Professional Packing Supplies

Professional packing supplies are available which can often provide extra protection for your stored items; bubble wrap, foam packaging supplies and polystyrene chips can all form part of a professional packing service that helps to keep delicate items intact during transportation and storage. For added security, protective materials such as stretch film or pallet wrap - which tightly binds together multiple items - may also be used to ensure that nothing gets damaged in transit or while being stored away.

Where possible, using decorative packing paper or tissue paper can add an extra layer of protection as it absorbs moisture and prevents items from becoming scratched or scuffed during packing. Special wrapping boxes with lids or handles may also make it easier to transport awkward shaped packages without damaging their contents. In addition, our dedicated customer service staff at Storage Norbiton not only have experience in helping to provide customers with appropriate packaging solutions but are also happy to advise on the most suitable type and size of box needed for various types of item.

Choosing Storage Containers

Having taken care of the packing process for your stored items, choosing the right type of container is just as important; depending upon what you're looking to store, containers such as plastic storage tubs and containers, shelving units or filing cabinets may all be more appropriate than cardboard boxes. Suitable storage containers should always be chosen in order to protect against any potential damages caused by humidity or water damage (such as mildew) - waterproof bins and removable lids should generally be used for protecting against these risks. Depending upon the size of the item being stored this may determine the type of container needed; if there are large objects being stored then wooden pallets may be necessary, whereas smaller objects will generally fit into standard-sized plastic boxes without any problem.

At Norbiton our staff understand exactly how important it is to choose the right type of container suited to customer requirements - whether that’s cardboard boxes or larger plastic tubs - so we always aim to provide advice and recommendations on this too.
