A Step-by-Step Guide to Prepping Items for Storage [INFOGRAPHIC]

When it comes to moving items into a storage unit, preparation is everything. Not only will preparing your belongings to be stored help prevent any damage, but it will also let you make the most of your storage unit’s space. Start by prepping your furniture. Whenever possible, disassemble furniture pieces so that they take up less space. Keep the pieces in clearly labeled boxes with their assembly instructions. For artwork, protect the sides of frames with extra cardboard and wrap the items in paper before putting them in plastic bags. If your unit is for business storage instead of personal storage, organize all of your documents, label them clearly, and ask about secure records management.
