2. Effective Packing and Organization


Effective packing is essential for making the most of your self storage unit. Start by categorising your items. This can include separating personal storage items from business related items. Use sturdy self storage designed boxes which are usually double walled instead of single walled. Single walled boxes tend to break easy and should only be used for light storage items. Make sure you label your boxes correctly as this will come in handy when you need something later on. Place frequently used items near the front for easy access. Create aisles within larger self storage units to navigate through your belongings without having to unpack everything. Additionally, Storage Time provides a box shop offering essential supplies like boxes, packaging, and tape to cater to all your packing needs. With our free van hire and free collection service covering all of Stockport, Manchester, Trafford and Cheshire, transporting your items to Storage Time is even more convenient.

This approach is particularly beneficial for those using the unit for business storage or storing larger personal items.This will allow easy access to inventory and business materials without clutter.

Storage Time Stockport, have designed some bespoke storage units which are nearly double the height of standard rooms. These premium storage units are designed for our customers who are storing larger items.

Self storage is an excellent solution for seasonal items. Rotate summer and winter belongings to ensure your frequently used items are always accessible. Seasonal storage can include swapping out summer clothing for winter gear or storing sports equipment until needed. This keeps your living space organized and clutter-free throughout the year.
