news

Discovering a cherished item damaged due to poor packing can be heart-wrenching. Such unfortunate situations highlight the importance of selecting the right packing materials. At StorageHQ, we don’t merely provide storage spaces; we’re deeply invested in ensuring your treasured possessions remain in pristine condition. Serving the communities of Cowichan, Duncan, and surrounding areas, our commitment is unwavering. Here’s a guide to the best packing materials to consider:

  • Bubble Wrap: An all-time favorite, bubble wrap offers a protective cushion against impacts. From invaluable family heirlooms to beloved artworks, ensure they’re tightly wrapped in this.
  • Sturdy Boxes: Strong, corrugated cardboard boxes are essential. Uniform sizes not only offer protection but also facilitate efficient stacking.
  • Plastic Bins: Combat the adversaries of storage – dust and unexpected moisture, with clear plastic bins. Their transparency aids in quick content identification.
  • Packing Peanuts: These are perfect for uniquely shaped items, ensuring every nook and cranny is filled for a secure pack.
  • Furniture Covers: Our units are insulated, but adding covers, especially for leather or upholstered items, provides an added shield against dust or condensation.
  • Vacuum-sealed Bags: Ideal for textiles, these bags protect against moisture, pests, and odors. They’re a boon for storing seasonal items.
  • Packing Paper or Newsprint: Simple yet efficient, packing paper is great for preventing scratches, especially on glassware.
  • Duct Tape and Labeling Markers: A storage essential! Securely close your boxes with duct tape and use clear labels for easy management.
  • Desiccants: In fluctuating temperatures, desiccants absorb excess moisture, ensuring a dry ambiance for your belongings.
  • Pallets: For those considering long-term storage, elevate your boxes with wooden pallets. This step safeguards against unforeseen ground moisture.

Insulation Details: Our storage units, while not climate-controlled, are insulated. This creates a buffer against external elements, offering stability against temperature variations.
