Get the right equipment for the job
You need the right boxes and packaging products to keep your fragile goods safe and sound. Len’s Self-Storage has all the cardboard boxes you need as well as packing tape and bubble wrap. Packing paper and bubble wrap offers a crucial layer of shock-absorbing protection, so don’t be shy to use plenty. Try to have an idea of how much you need so you don’t run out and leave your last items unprotected.
Don’t overpack your fragile items
Try to keep it simple and don’t pack your fragile things in with other items. Keeping them packed separately will let you keep track of them and ensures they won’t get bashed in a bigger box with other things. Smaller boxes are easier to carry and store away too.
Use original boxes if you have them
The original boxes for your electronics are the best places to put them if you’re lucky enough to still have them. This is the easiest way to pack your TV, computer or games consoles. Don’t worry if you don’t still have them, you can still keep them safe by opting for boxes that are the right size. Remember to backup any important computer files before you pack your PC away to be extra safe.
Take your time
Packing things away isn’t the most fun way to spend the afternoon and you might want to get it done quickly. But when it comes to fragile or expensive items it pays to take a little more care. This’ll mean you give them the care you need and the packing tape they need!
