Maximising Your Secure Storage Container Space: Clever Organisation Tips

So, you’ve hired a secure storage container but now you’re faced with the task of filling it. You want to make sure you get things right, but you’re not quite sure which steps to take to ensure everything is organised for efficient retrieval. Well, you’ve come to the right place!

In this blog, our storage specialists share their top tips for storage organisation…

Label, Label, Label

One of the simplest and most effective ways to organise your secure storage container is labelling. Not only does this help with easy retrieval, but it can also prevent damage too. Correctly labelling fragile items informs the handler to treat these boxes with particular care, minimising risk.

Creating a Master List

Creating a master list will help you to keep track of your inventory so that you know exactly where everything is when you need it. Alongside labelling, categorise and clearly note down what is in each box for maximum efficiency.

Order of Importance

Whilst it always feels more organised to store the large items at the bottom and work your way up in size, this isn’t always the most convenient way to work. You also need to consider which items you will need easy access to. Once you’ve created your master list, make sure you highlight items in order of importance and based on this, place the most frequently used boxes closest to the entrance of your secure storage container.

Going Vertical

To make the most out of your secure storage container, it pays to start stacking vertically, rather than having lots of boxes strewn separately across the floor. Moreover, if you are storing anything with shelves or drawers, remember you can make the most out of this empty space too!

Top tip: leave a step ladder or foot stall in your container to make sure you can easily reach things when you need them.
