Pack&Store Summer Storage Packages

• Assess items by categories: Clothes, books, electronics, kitchenware, bedding, and personal items. 
• Make a list of larger items: Consider the size and type of furniture that might need to be packed, such as a Microwave or a Mini-Fridge - these will count as the Additional Items included in your package.

• Small boxes (12" x 12" x 12"): For books, shoes, and heavy items. 
• Medium boxes (18" x 14" x 12"): For kitchenware, electronics, and small appliances. 
• Large boxes (18" x 18" x 16"): For clothes, bedding, and bulkier items.

• Clothes: Depending on the amount, you might need 3-4 medium boxes. If you have seasonal clothing, consider packing away out-of-season items to save space. As often as possible, Pack&Store recommends using suitcases/duffle bags for clothes.
• Books: For textbooks or novels, estimate 1-2 small boxes.
• Electronics: Laptops, chargers, and other devices might fit into 1 medium box. 
• Bedding: 1-2 large boxes should be sufficient for sheets, towels, pillows, and blankets
• Kitchenware: Plates, cups, and utensils can be packed in 1-2 medium boxes. Mini-fridges and microwaves do not need to be boxed and can be counted as one of the "Additional Items" included in your package.

• Suitcases/Duffle Bags: These can help reduce the number of boxes you need. Pack your clothes and shoes into rolling luggage or duffel bags and can be counted as one of the "Additional Items" included in your package.
• Storage bins: Clear bins are great for storing non-fragile items like toiletries, food, or extra school supplies. These can double as organization for your room once unpacked and can be counted as one of the "Additional Items" included in your package.

As you pack, you will get a better sense of how much space things take up and can adjust accordingly.
