Mini Self Storage Unit Haines City FL

Label every box on multiple sides and keep a list of its contents for easy reference.
Seal boxes with packing tape before storing to help protect against dust. Use heavy-duty tape on the bottom of boxes to prevent breaking.
Pack books flat to protect their spines.
