This blogpost discusses with you the same, in a step-by-step format and you can follow it before you inventory your goods for these units:
• Do not forget to sort out and declutter
Whether you are moving abroad for a few months or opting for a secure-storage unit for other personal reasons – for storing your belongings like your home is under renovation or you have thought to downsize and therefore are thinking of shifting some of your possessions to these units, you need to declutter your number of items before you choose which ones to move into the unit and which ones to leave aside. When you choose not to declutter but pack, you often end up packing items more than required and this not only increases your moving cost but also accelerates your hassle.

Decide cautiously what all you genuinely need to move into these units and prepare a clear-cut inventory of items and provide your moving team who would then quote you a price accordingly.
• Have the primary packing materials
Preparing your goods for a move is simpler than preparing your goods to be kept in storage. No matter how convenient they are and how well they are positioned, one needs to prepare belongings with great packing and ample protection, and for that, you need to have all the basic packing materials including moving cartons, cardboard boxes in different sizes, specialty items boxes, instrument boxes, etc. apart from the basics – like packing paper, bubble wraps, foam peanuts, etc. In case you are confused as to why goods need this much protection, then we must tell you that all your storage goods are first carried from your doorstep or in some cases, you have to get them delivered to the warehouses – meaning there is quite a Distance they have to move and this involves transit disturbances too, so ample packing and sufficient protection is a must.
• Evaluate the goods before you pack
Now when you have the basic packing materials and you have already decluttered your personal space, you should go by the proposed guidelines of which items are allowed to be moved into the storage units. Several items are simply not allowed for their nature of formulation – for instance, anything that is flammable and can catch fire is prohibited. Food items highly perishable are not allowed, because they emit a smell that entices insects, bugs, and pests. So, make sure you discard all the chemical-based products – the cleaning supplies, synthetic oil and petrol products, the cleaning supplies, etc. because they can call for accidents. And, if you are storing your appliances, furniture, and other fixtures to be kept into these storage units,
Preparing goods to be sent for storage requires one to be aware of certain things that are totally in contrast with packing household items for the move. Because only those items are fit for storage, that you won't need in the next few weeks or months, and also you have to make sure none of the storage items (the packaged goods) are close to expiry because it would create a mess . And reviewing all these aspects is quite time-consuming, so make sure you get into the packing and preparation phase of the same early on, so there is no rush and chaos at the end.
• Make things easy with proper labeling
Whether you have asked your professional team to help you with the moving container packing or you are doing that yourself, once the moving cube is delivered to you – you have to take care of the fact that none of your packages leave your place without the right name labels. Whether the package belongs to your kitchen section, living area, washroom, or bedroom, every package should be labeled in readable fonts, with the basic information included – the designated room, the priority number, color codes (if you have used colored labels) along with handling instructions of the same. This process not only eases out your final package inspection before the move and your post-move inspection but also helps you to store your goods in an order. For instance, your bedroom items are put together in five oversized cartons, that are labeled as 'bedroom 1,' bedroom 2, and so on. You will know all your packages have been arranged well into the portable cube or the storage unit.
