Avoid Overpacking or Heavy Boxes

Overpacking or making boxes too heavy can cause several issues:

• Item Damage: Overstuffed boxes can burst, collapse, or damage their contents.
• Difficult Handling: Heavy boxes are harder to lift and maneuver, increasing the risk of personal injury.
• Disorganized Storage: Poorly packed items make it harder to maximize storage space efficiently.
• Safety Hazards: Overloaded boxes can tip over, creating unsafe conditions in storage units.

Packing thoughtfully helps avoid these problems and ensures a smoother storage experience.

Follow these tips to pack smarter:

• Limit Box Weight: Keep boxes under 40 pounds for easier lifting and stacking.
• Distribute Weight Evenly: Spread heavy items across multiple boxes instead of concentrating them in one.
• Use Durable Containers: Opt for Perfect Crates, which are sturdy and handle weight better than cardboard boxes.
• Layer Items Smartly: Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter, fragile items on top.
• Avoid Overfilling: Leave space at the top of each box to prevent strain and ensure secure sealing.
