Before renting a storage unit, it is important to determine what belongings need storage. Understanding the volume, dimensions, and sensitivity of items guides unit choice helps maximize space and protects belongings.
We encourage customers to sort items based on use, frequency, or importance. Taking inventory and identifying which items need more protection can guide the type of unit needed, such as climate-controlled options for sensitive items. Evaluating storage needs ahead of time simplifies preparation and increases efficiency.
Gather Necessary Packing Supplies
Packing supplies are crucial for protection and organization. Proper materials such as boxes, cushioning, and wraps protect items. Choosing the best packing tools helps safeguard all belongings.
We recommend marking boxes with details for easy retrieval. Using color-coded labels or numbering systems can further simplify organization and retrieval. Proper packing supplies and labeling are key for a smooth move and well-managed storage.

At AAA Storage of Highland, we encourage customers to carefully evaluate items before storing. By minimizing excess items, storage units can be better organized, and retrieval of items becomes simpler, a tidy move saves effort and storage space.
Design Your Storage Space
A well-thought-out storage layout is key to maximizing space and accessibility. Deciding placement ahead of time improves access and organization. This approach minimizes the need to constantly move things around.
We suggest creating a rough diagram or plan before moving items into the storage unit. Shelving can be used to create vertical space and protect fragile items. Thoughtful planning ensures that your storage unit remains organized, safe, and convenient throughout its use.
Smart Packing for Storage
Strategic packing ensures that belongings are protected and space is maximized. Place weighty items at the base and delicate items on top for stability. Padding and cushioning keep contents safe and intact.
We advise customers to protect sensitive belongings with proper wrapping and storage. Using standardized containers improve organization and safety. Careful packing ensures items are safe and storage is efficient.
Use Effective Labeling
Clear labeling is essential for maintaining order and accessibility. Each box should indicate its contents and any special handling instructions. Labeling simplifies finding items and protects delicate belongings.
We encourage customers to label boxes on multiple sides for visibility. Using consistent and easy-to-read labels can save time and reduce frustration when retrieving items. Proper labeling is key for efficient storage.
Protect Items from Environmental Damage
Environmental factors like temperature changes, dust, and moisture can compromise the condition of items. Protecting belongings with airtight containers, wraps, and climate-controlled storage helps prevent damage and preserves their condition. Sensitive items like electronics, artwork, and documents require extra care.
Our storage facility provides reliable units with climate control and protective features. Taking preventive measures keeps belongings safe over time. Environmental protection is key for long-term storage success.
Track Your Stored Belongings
Keeping an inventory of all stored items ensures nothing gets lost or misplaced. A detailed list with item names, quantities, and locations aids retrieval also helps in planning and risk management.
We recommend maintaining both a physical and digital record of items in storage. Tracking inventory improves accessibility and saves time. An accurate inventory list is a key component of smart and secure storage practices.
Store Items for Convenience
Items that will be needed sooner should be placed at the front for convenience. Planning accessibility makes storage efficient and practical. This approach reduces the risk of damage and makes the storage experience more convenient.
We advise customers to maintain clear pathways within the storage unit. Keeping important belongings reachable enhances usability. Thoughtful placement makes retrieval easier and safer.
