1. Sturdy Moving Boxes (in Multiple Sizes)

Not all boxes are created equal. Ours are:

  • Double-walled for added strength
  • Available in small, medium, and large sizes
  • Designed to stack neatly in storage units without collapsing

Pro Tip: Use small boxes for heavy items (books, canned goods) and large boxes for light, bulky items (linens, pillows).

2. Heavy-Duty Packing Tape

Forget the bargain tape that peels off in a week. Our professional-grade packing tape:

  • Has extra adhesion for secure sealing
  • Works in both hot and cold storage environments
  • Comes with easy-grip dispensers

3. Bubble Wrap and Packing Paper

Protect your valuables with:

  • Bubble wrap for shock absorption
  • Acid-free packing paper to prevent ink transfer or scratching

4. Mattress and Furniture Covers

Dust, dirt, and moisture are the enemies of stored furniture. We carry:

  • Plastic mattress bags for every bed size
  • Sofa and chair covers to prevent stains and tears

5. Climate-Smart Storage Supplies

For items stored in climate-controlled units, consider:

  • Moisture absorbers
  • Silica gel packets for electronics
  • Breathable fabric covers to prevent condensation

6. Specialty Boxes

Got a TV, mirror, or wardrobe? We have custom boxes for:

  • Flat-screen TVs
  • Artwork
  • Hanging clothing
