All items required for packing, moving and storing belongings can be purchased at any Guardian Self Storage location in our Moving and Storage Supplies Store.

• Leave a walkway to the rear of the unit for better accessibility. Disassemble items such as bed frames to maximize space.
• Place frequently used items near the door.
• Fill containers to capacity-partially full or bulging cartons may tip or collapse.
• Store couches (except sofa beds) on end to maximize space.
• Place fragile items near the top of the unit to prevent crushing.
• Label your cartons and take home a list of the labeled cartons for easy reference. (Labels are available in our office).
• Take full advantage of your space-use the full height if possible. Shelving helps organize your space.
• Add bay leaves to boxes when packing goods to ward off most insects and household pests.
• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors slightly ajar and clean before storing. Use the space inside for extra storage of other kitchen items.
• Wrap mirrors and pictures with paper pads or use mirror boxes. Never store flat.
