5 Must-Have Storage Supplies

Packaging Tape

Clear and thick is what you want in a good quality packing tape. This is the stuff that keeps everything together and makes sure that moisture and other things don’t get into your boxes. If you think you can pack without it, think again. The last thing you want is all your items falling out.

Packing Paper

An alternative to the traditional packing peanuts. It’s much easier to use and a lot less messy. They do not protect as well that peanuts, but sometimes you don’t need that kind of protection. It’s great for wrapping up plates and cups.

Packing Peanuts

These are great for taking up space in a package. Mix them among fragile items to stop them from moving around too much. If you have a lot of small, fragile items, make sure to use packing peanuts to keep them from breaking during a move.

Bubble Wrap

The ultimate stuff when it comes to protection. Use this for things like crystal glass wear and very expensive items that are susceptible to shock from vibrations. Plus, who doesn’t like popping a few sheets of the stuff?

Shrink Wrap

This is great if you have a lot of separate cardboard boxes. Stack them on top of each other and wrap the shrink wrap around them. This stuff is not easy to remove and is a one time use. So use it for items that you are storing for a long time.

That’s it for this article. Custom Self Storage is your one-stop-shop cost-effective storage.
