Are you moving but don't have any cardboard boxes? Don't worry. There are plenty of ways to pack up all your belongings even if you only have a box or two. Whether you're moving out of town or to a new place in Massapequa, NY, Safeguard Self Storage has some tips on how to handle your moving with ease.
How to Pack Without Cardboard Boxes
Use your dresser drawers.
Don't just put the dresser on the moving truck. Take out all the drawers beforehand and fill them with your belongings. Obviously, you can store your clothes in the drawers, but you can also store various kitchen supplies, knickknacks, and more. Once the dresser is on the truck, put the drawers back in place and head out on the road.
Plastic tubs come in handy.
Plastic tubs are available in many different sizes and come with lids to help keep your belongings in place. They're also easy to stack in storage and can hold a lot of items without buckling or breaking. If you purchase a few when you move, make sure to buy the clear bins. You'll be able to see your belongings inside, which makes it easy to find what you're looking for if they're kept in storage units for a while.
A pillowcase will hold a lot.
Don't laugh, but pillowcases can be great go-to moving supplies for a lot of people. They're useful for packing up clothes, kids' toys, throw pillows, and other items. Of course, you'll need a lot of pillowcases if that's all you're planning to use. If you've run out of boxes, don't hesitate to strip your pillows of the cases and use them for a few of your belongings.
