Make Organizing a Storage Container Easy with These Tips

Published: March 01, 2022

Storage containers come in handy for storing items, but they can also get disorganized if you aren’t careful. After all, if you fill your storage container with too many family memories or holiday decorations, it will soon become chaotic! While it may be tough to put things in order, follow these tips from UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Northeast Massachusetts to make organizing a storage container a breeze!

Create a list and gather goods

To begin, gather all of the required supplies, such as totes, boxes, tape, tags, or markers to help you organize your storage container. A dolly may also make moving easier. Organize your things into categories so they can be stored efficiently. You should also create and maintain an inventory of everything that will be kept in the container.

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

Large furnishings and boxes should be placed at the rear of the unit on the bottom. To make more space, break down your furnishings and set up your table and legs, headboards, bed frames, mattresses, dressers, and cabinets upright on their sides. Assure that you have enough vertical storage space and place heavier items at the bottom of your stacks.

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

Place things you may require quickly at the front of the unit, even if you’re only going to store your belongings for a little while. Labels on boxes are also critical. You should also consider using clear storage containers rather than cardboard boxes. That way you can view what’s inside a container without taking the lid off!
