Student Storage Packing Tips
All you need to know about HOW to pack and WHAT you can packWe Collect. We Store. We Return.
Packing Instructions
a) Assemble boxes
Fold small sides first, followed by the large. This creates the base. Tape over the seam. We recommend using 3 strips of tape over the seam and 1 horizontally across.
b) Pack boxes
Ensure there is no movement in the box. Use soft items to bulk them out. You should be able to move the box with no noise like crockery moving around.
c) Tape tape tape!
Use plenty of tape to secure your boxes, ensuring all seams are enclosed. If you’re not sure it’s secure enough, add another layer.
d) Label label label!
Finally remember to label up your boxes. We need to labels per box. Label 1: on the top of the box over the seam for security. Label 2: On the side so we can see whose things are whose in storage.
To include on your labels: Name, Booking reference, box reference (initials followed by item number).
