Inventory & Labeling: Making Retrieval Easy

An organized storage unit starts with proper labeling and inventory management. Without a system, items get lost or damaged. Here’s how to keep track:

Create a master list

As you pack, document each box’s contents on a spreadsheet or notebook. Number each box and write the corresponding number on the list along with a brief description.

Color-code and label

Use colored labels or markers to identify categories (e.g., red for kitchen items, blue for holiday décor). Clearly mark the box number and category on at least two sides.

Map your unit

Sketch a simple map showing where each numbered box is located. This saves time when you need to access a specific item.

Update regularly

When you add or remove items, update your inventory and map. Keeping accurate records prevents headaches later.

With a little organization, you’ll never have to dig through piles of boxes again. Ready to find the perfect space for your belongings? View our available storage units by clicking the button below!
