Our Packing Supplies for Sale

Here are some of the most popular packing and moving supplies we offer, along with some helpful tips on how to use them:

  • Bubble Wrap. Use it to protect the glass on picture frames, and try sliding a cut pool noodle over the corners to prevent dings and chips while moving.
  • Uninked paper. Great for wrapping dishes, glassware, and other breakables. Uninked paper is a better option than newspaper, which can leave ink smudges behind.
  • Mattress covers. Keep dust, dirt, and moisture off your furniture. We carry more than just mattress covers, so look for plastic slipcovers for sofas, loveseats, and chairs of all sizes.
  • Storage unit locks. You’re welcome to bring your own, but we also offer sturdy locks for purchase.
  • Box tape. Designed specifically to hold cardboard together, box tape can outperform even heavy-duty duct tape when it comes to sealing your packed boxes securely.
  • Labels and markers. It’s an easy step to forget, but labeling your boxes can save hours when unpacking. Keep your items organized and easy to find later.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storage Supplies

What kind of lock should I use for my storage unit?

Disc locks are highly recommended for their design and durability, but any quality lock with a hardened bolt and a solid reputation will do the job. Locks are available for purchase in the office.

How do I move a mattress?

Keeping dust and water away from your mattress is a top priority. Use a mattress bag to protect it during the move and while in storage. Mattress bags are available for all standard sizes.

Do you have tools to help me move big items?

Yes. Dollies, hand trucks, and other helpful equipment are available at most locations to help you move heavier items. Just keep in mind they’re offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
