Musical Instruments: Storing instruments in climate controlled units is a must! Instruments are very delicate, susceptible to damage from humidity, and need care when handling.
Clothing: It is important to maintain the humidity levels inside your unit, so your seasonal clothes don’t become damaged. Also, using plastic bins over cardboard boxes will prevent moisture from reaching your clothing. To save space and stop creasing, roll your clothes instead of folding them. Place them in vacuum compression bags. To use these bags, put your clothes in, seal the bag, then squeeze the air out. This will leave you with lots more space in your plastic bin and will prevent creases more efficiently than folding.
Labels: It’s important to stay organized before, during and after your move. That’s why you should keep a permanent marker handy for labeling each box you pack.
Books: Don’t’ fill an entire box with large books. This will makes the box too heavy for most people to lift.
