How to Pack a Self-Storage Unit at Charlevoix Mini Storage

​

• Inventory your belongings and take photos for reference or insurance claims.

• Use strong, uniform-sized boxes for easy stacking, maximizing space up to the ceiling in our storage units.

• Place the heaviest boxes and bulky items in the unit first, keeping frequently accessed items aside.

• Position items you need to access regularly at the front, leaving an aisle if necessary.

• Label fragile goods clearly, ensuring visibility.

• Store sofas and mattresses upright, stack chairs pad-to-pad to save space in our self-storage units.

• Stack boxes from the back to the front, filling gaps with single items.

• Raise boxes/items off the floor using wooden pallets, if possible.

• Utilize hollow spaces, such as drawers and suitcases, by filling them with soft items like clothing or bedding.

• Avoid storing hazardous materials in your Charlevoix storage unit.

• Safely pack sharp objects like knives and garden tools, and clean vehicles or outdoor equipment before storage.

• Cover your items with a dust sheet for protection and cleanliness in our climate-controlled storage units.

• Secure the lock on your unit when finished.
