While storage containers are an excellent method to store goods, they may get unwieldy and disorganized if you’re not cautious. After all, if you fill your storage container with too many family memories or holiday decorations, it will soon become chaotic. Organizing may be difficult, but if you follow these steps and suggestions from UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Atlanta, you’ll know how to arrange a storage box in no time!

Create a list and gather goods

To begin, purchase all of the required materials. This will include totes, boxes, tape, tags, or markers to help you organize your storage container, as well as a dolly to make moving things easier. Take your time and arrange your things into multiple categories that will keep the unit organized once everything is bought. Make and maintain a list of all items that will be kept inside the container.

Large, heavy items should be placed near the rear of the unit

Furniture and large boxes should be positioned towards the rear of the unit on the bottom. To make more room, break down your furniture and set up the table and legs, headboards, bed frames, mattresses, dressers, and cabinets upright on their sides. Keep in mind to use vertical storage. Boxes should be stacked high with heavier items at the bottom.

Put the things you use on a daily basis in front of the unit.

Even if you’re moving only temporarily, it’s a good idea to put items that you might require quickly at the front of the truck. Labels on boxes are critical. Even think about using transparent storage containers instead of cardboard boxes for these goods. Without having to take the cover off and dig through it, clear plastic bins enable you to see what’s inside a container without taking the lid off.
