You don\u2019t want to come back weeks, months, or even years later to find damaged items. How can you ensure your stuff has the protection it needs? By using the best boxes and containers. Here\u2019s a quick guide on what to look for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cardboard-boxes\"><strong>Cardboard Boxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardboard is the old standard when it comes to packing and storing your stuff. Boxes are easy to find, affordable, lightweight, sturdy, and stackable. When it comes to long-term storage, however, cardboard isn\u2019t always king. They break down easily and deteriorate over time, they won\u2019t protect your items from moisture, pests, or rodents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plastic Bins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plastic is more expensive than cardboard, but it\u2019s often worth the investment if you\u2019re storing things from your home for an extended period. Like boxes, they\u2019re easy to pack, easy to stack, and you don\u2019t have to tape them shut, you just put on the lid. They protect your belongings from both moisture and pests, they won\u2019t crush or buckle, and if you get clear ones, you can see what\u2019s inside each bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other Containers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everything will fit in a standard plastic bin. Things like TVs, electronics, large kitchen items, art, and other household large items require something more specialized. You can find specialty boxes and containers in both plastic and cardboard that hold the larger items that need protection in long-term storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For everything you need to keep your things safe, talk to the experts the best long-term storage containers.
