Whether you are downsizing, decluttering or anything in-between, Louth makes the move-in process quick and painless.

A Trusty Padlock

 

This is your storage “lock and key”. Invest in a sturdy one, your belongings deserve the best.

 

Step 2: Pack Up & Move In!

 

 
Once you have organised and prepared all the essentials listed above, your next step is to pack up the items you would like to put into storage. Although it might be tempting to just throw everything in a box and get the job over with, it’s important to make sure that your carefully organised items are properly packed.
 
This rule applies to both the packing of items into your boxes and the packing of your boxes into your storage unit. These simple tips will help you pack with precision — ensuring that everything fits, nothing topples, and everything will be easily accessible at any time. It might take a bit of time now, but it will ultimately save you time in the long run.

 

Label Everything Like It’s a Crime Scene

 
Label, label, label! Make it easy for yourself to find items in and amongst the many boxes you are putting into storage, pop a label onto every box. And we mean EVERY single one.
 
Did we mention that labelling your boxes is important? Be specific with your labels. “Random stuff” isn’t going to help when you’re trying to find that one spatula you packed away last May.
 
Labelling moving or storage boxes is probably one of the most underrated packing tips and one that everyone seems to forget or neglect. But it’s honestly one of the most useful.

 

Pack Smart: Layer Like a Lasagna

 

Think about packing your boxes into your storage unit like layering lasagna. You want layers and you want them solid. Make sure the heavier boxes are on the bottom — think books, tools, and heavy-duty kitchen appliances — go lighter as you stack up.

 

Plan Ahead: Packing According to What You’ll Use When

 

Place items that you use frequently near the front of your storage unit, and vice versa, items that you use less often at the back. You don’t want to spend ages trying to find your winter coat in December!

 

Create Aisles: Use a Tetris Mindset

 

Don’t pack yourself into a corner, make sure that you create an aisle down the middle of your storage unit. This will allow you to retrieve items without dismantling a wall of boxes every time. When you’re stacking boxes, try to make the most of the space, filling in gaps with smaller boxes or softer items where you can.

 

Vertical Space: Using Every Inch

 

Stacking boxes on top of one another can help you utilise the vertical space in your storage unit, but you will need to make sure that fragile items are stacked at the top. To make the most of this space, why not invest in some temporary shelving units? This is a terrific way to organise items at multiple levels while leaving room for those essential aisles we spoke about.

 

Step 3: Enjoy Access Any Time

 

So, you have packed everything perfectly into your storage unit and gone about your everyday life now clutter and worry-free! A few months later, you need to grab some things out of your storage unit for an impromptu trip. With Louth Self Storage’s opening hours, you’ll have more than enough time to get the items that you need well within your schedule.

 

Bonus Tips for a Successful Move

 

If you’re looking to go that extra mile with your storage organisation, consider these tips a cherry on the top.

Organise Boxes by Category: Try and group similar objects together, that way when you need to find “kitchen stuff” or “winter clothes”, you’ll be able to do so easily.

Make A Quick Sketch of Your Layout: It might sound silly but a simple sketch or rough map of where everything is packed might just be a lifesaver later!

Use Clear Bins for Easy Viewing: Store the items you use most often in clear plastic bins so that you’ll be able to find them through a quick scan.
