Choosing the Best Boxes
The first thing you will want to consider is the boxes that you will use for your move. Think about how long your items will be inside of the Fall River storage for homeowners or business owners, what things you will be storing and whether or not you will need access to them throughout the time that they are being stored inside of the commercial storage containers.
- Cardboard Boxes – Great for a quick move from point A to point B. Not really designed for long-term storage. Can be easily adapted to multiple sizes and types of objects using bubble wrap, packing paper and foam peanuts. Cheap, affordable and easy to use.
- Plastic Boxes – Excellent choices for longer term storage. Great at keeping out all sorts of problems like dust, dirt, moisture and critters. Can be easily stacked inside of your container storage units and handles make them easy to move around. Cost is a little higher than cardboard boxes, but they are much more durable and long-lasting.
- Banker Boxes – Most offices use these types of storage units regularly. Great for super sturdy storage, sorting and organization of papers. Often used to hold tax paperwork and labeled by month or year. Handles make them easy to move and uniform size makes them easy to stack. Use with a metal storage shelving unit for better organization and protection of boxes, as well as the paperwork, files and things inside.
- Storage Boxes – Specialty boxes designed for use with commercial storage containers. Super high quality materials and an interior liner board to provide extra strength over longer periods of time. Chemically treated to prevent mold, mildew and critters from growing on or in the boxes. Crush tested to last for several months when stacked or even longer when used on metal shelving inside your Fall River moving and storage containers.
Where to Get Boxes for Moving and Storage?
Office supply store, moving supply companies, moving truck rental companies, big box home improvement stores and even online retail stores are the best options available for getting quality packing solutions for Fall River storage for homeowners and commercial storage containers. Avoid getting your boxes through “free” or “cheap” resources, which often end up being a total waste of time and money. Used boxes can be infested with insects, contain mold or mildew and have other issues after being stored inside of an offsite storage facility or in someone’s garage.
Choose from a variety of different sizes and types of boxes that can be used to hold all of your sensitive information from the office, as well as your clothes, dishes and DVD collection. These resources are also a great place to get all of the packing materials you will need to protect your things while they are placed inside of the container storage units.
