Whether you’re packing your belongings for long or short term storage, you’ll want to be sure that your precious possessions are packed and wrapped safely and securely.

Even though all our storage units are clean and dry, we recommend you use cardboard boxes for short term storage, and perhaps consider more using more robust plastic ones for the longer term.

In addition to holding your belongings, at Sizewell Self Storage we sell everything you might need for protecting your goods while moving and storing them - cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, sticky tape etc.

To help you keep on top of your storage, make sure every box is labelled with what is inside it. With cardboard boxes put extra tape on all of the seams so that they do not collapse.  Fill the box to the top, using packing materials to fill any unused spaces and voids, as it will be stronger and won’t collapse. We do not recommend using printed newspaper as this can mark your goods.

Be sure that you pack all boxes tightly and that your furniture is well wrapped for full protection during the duration of its storage. We suggest covering all furniture with furniture covers or blankets.

Books are heavy, so it is best to pack them in smaller boxes and place them low down. Clothes: Dresses, suits, jackets and coats can be packed into large boxes, bags or suitcases.

All packaging is available for collection from Sizewell Self Storage.
