- If using boxes, stack heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes on top.
- Label boxes on all sides for easy identification.
- Dry all items completely before placing them into storage.
- Store items you may need most often near the front of your unit.

Important Storage Rules
Common sense, your lease agreement, and state law determine what may and may not be stored. Since you control access to your storage space, you are responsible for making sure prohibited items are never placed inside your unit.
Never store firearms, flammable liquids, gasoline, explosives, fuels, live animals, illegal substances, toxic materials, food, perishables, or anything that requires a specialized controlled environment beyond what your rented unit provides.
How to Pack Your Storage Unit the Right Way
1. Start With the Items You Need Least
Place long-term storage items toward the back of the unit. Keep frequently used items near the front so you do not have to unpack everything later.
2. Create a Walkway
Leave a center aisle inside your storage unit. This makes it easier to reach boxes, furniture, tools, seasonal items, and business supplies without having to move everything around.
3. Protect Items From the Floor
Use pallets, skids, shelving, or plastic bins to keep items off concrete floors. This helps improve airflow and gives your belongings an extra layer of protection.
4. Label Everything Clearly
Label every box on multiple sides. Include the room, contents, and whether the box is fragile. This simple step saves time when you return to your unit.
5. Drain Small Engines Before Storage
Drain gasoline and oil from lawn mowers, snow blowers, and other small-engine equipment before storage. Gasoline and fuel are not permitted inside storage units.
Temperature-Controlled and Non-Temperature-Controlled Storage Options
Laing Self Storage Binghamton offers both temperature-controlled and non-temperature-controlled storage options. Temperature-controlled storage can be a smart choice for furniture, electronics, documents, clothing, business inventory, antiques, and other items that may benefit from a more stable storage environment.
Non-temperature-controlled storage may be a practical option for items such as tools, outdoor equipment, seasonal decorations, and belongings that do not require added environmental protection.
