How to Organize, Store, and Pack Your Holiday Decorations

Published: December 01, 2022

Not sure if your holiday decorations from years ago are still usable? Store them correctly, and you’ll be able to use them for longer. UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Central Iowa offers the following hints for arranging, packing, and preserving your Christmas decorations.

1. Begin by going through all of your holiday decorations. Get rid of anything that isn’t functioning or isn’t used frequently.

2. Sort your decorations by topic once you’ve looked them over. If you want to make putting up your Christmas decorations easier, assign a specific location for each type of decoration. For example, keep all of your tree ornaments in one area and keep the lights separate. This way, you won’t have to search everywhere for that one missing piece.

3. Label each box of decorations so you know what goes where.

4. Use smaller boxes for tiny things like glass ornaments and bigger ones for larger objects like garlands and wreaths.

5. Fill each box with packing material, such as bubble wrap or tissue paper, to keep your decorations safe.

6. Keep your boxes in a cool, dry place that isn’t sunny to keep the delicate contents of them. Attics and basements are excellent places to store them.

Try out these ideas if you want your holiday decorations to stay in pristine condition until next year. They just might have you running to get your own storage container! Give UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Central Iowa a call today!
