Short-Term Storage Packing Tips

Short-Term Storage Packing Tips (Under 3 Months)

Short-term storage is ideal for temporary needs, such as moving, renovations, or seasonal use.

1. Prioritize Accessibility:
   • Place frequently used items near the front of the unit.
   • Keep an inventory list with notes about where items are stored.
2. Minimal Packing:
   • Use fewer protective materials since items won’t be stored long.
   • Opt for sturdy, stackable plastic bins for easier access and visibility.
3. Group By Use:
   • Store items in categories, such as kitchenware, clothes, or tools, to make unpacking simpler.
4. Climate Consideration:
   • If the unit isn’t climate-controlled, avoid storing sensitive items like electronics, photographs, or liquids.
5. Label Clearly:
   • Use color-coded labels or tape to mark boxes by room or type of content.
