How to Pack for Student Storage: 5 Essential Tips from Door2Door Student Storage

When it’s time to head home for the holidays, move between university terms, or travel abroad, packing for student storage can feel overwhelming. With Door2Door Student Storage, the process is simple, secure, and completely stress-free.

Follow these five proven packing tips to protect your belongings and make the most of your door-to-door student storage service.

1️⃣ Start with Strong, Secure Boxes

Your boxes are your first line of defence. Door2Door Student Storage provides double-walled, durable boxes designed specifically for students. Each box is built to handle heavy loads and protect your belongings during collection, transport, and storage.

Pro tip: Reinforce the bottom with packing tape and clearly write your name or student ID on every box before you start packing.

2️⃣ Pack Smart and Stay Organised

Organisation makes unpacking easy. Group similar items together such as, books with books, kitchenware with kitchenware, and fragile items on their own.

Use smaller boxes for heavy items such as textbooks, and larger boxes for lighter belongings like bedding, clothes, and duvets. Door2Door’s perfectly sized storage boxes make it simple to stay organised and maximise your space.

3️⃣ Wrap and Protect Your Valuables

Keep your valuables safe during transit with extra padding. Wrap electronics, glassware, and sentimental items in bubble wrap, towels, or soft clothing.

Door2Door Student Storage offers optional packing materials including bubble wrap, tape, and protective fillers making it easy to safeguard your items before they’re collected.

4️⃣ Fill the Gaps

Empty spaces cause movement and potential damage. Prevent breakage by filling gaps with paper, bubble wrap, or clothing. A snugly packed box is a safe box the less movement, the safer your items will be.

5️⃣ Label and Store with Confidence

Labelling helps you and our team stay organised. Clearly write your name and student number on each box (Door2Door provides pre-printed labels for every customer).

If you’re packing fragile items, mark the box “FRAGILE” so our collection team can handle it with extra care. To make retrieval easier, jot down the contents of each box on the side.

When your boxes arrive at the Door2Door Student Storage facility, our team ensures everything is stored securely and ready to return when you are.
