Cartons

 

The Storage Depot offers a large range of market competitive prices when it comes to your packing and removal supplies, which are guaranteed to keep all your personal, fragile items safe and secure when in storage or during the moving process. From bubble wrap and labels to cartons and pens, The Storage Depot has everything you need when it comes to packing. Just ask any of our helpful and friendly staff about our moving supplies and to find the right carton for your personal moving needs.

The easiest way of packing your items is to use corrugated carton boxes for you packaging needs. Most sizes are available to choose from, including small, medium, large and heavyweight cartons. Most times, when you get your boxes, they are packed flat, unmade solely for ease of transport, when you receive them, it is as simple as merely folding and taping the boxes up. Not only do you get the standard brown corrugated boxes, but they are also available as white removal boxes. This helps with safety and helps you organize your storage room, for ease of access and to help with the unpacking process at a later stage.

What happens when you recycle your old boxes and cartons? After they have been collected and balled at recycling depots, they are then taken to paper recycling factories. The balled cartons are offloaded and then de-balled. They are also then checked for any contaminations, and placed with water in a hydrapulper, which is a giant machine that acts something along the lines of a giant blender.

Within the hydrapulper, the cartons are then broken up, and the plastic and foil used in these cartons then separates from the paper. All the plastic and the foil which is separated from the paper then gets filtered out, helping remove any and all contamination. This helps recycling companies use this paper directly, without having to use bleach, allowing them to make high quality recycled copy and office paper.

The left over mixture is then sent into a huge rotating drum like machine with wire mesh all along the outside of the drum. The leftover mixture then passes through this drum and mesh which results in the plastic and foil getting stuck to the mesh. The leftover plastic and foil then falls down the drum into a pit where it can be collected and balled. It is then discarded, the water is then recovered and reused.

Self storage is basically to option to be able to rent a clean, dry, safe and secure room in a warehouse run by a professional company, with free access to your items when you need to get to them. You have the option to lock that room with your own lock, which you only have the keys to. The storage company should then take care of the rest for you including all the security of the warehouse premises.

Who can benefit from self storage? Well, just about anyone and everyone. It can be used for just about anything including if you just want to free up some more space in your home or garage, or if you are moving and need removal storage or just temporary storage. Even businesses can use self storage as the solution to free up some office space, instead of having dead space they end up paying for month to month. Some businesses use storage solutions for old document storage, bulk storage or even excess stock. With twenty four hour self storage access that is one hundred percent free and entirely unlimited, a lot of businesses nowadays find it quite useful to use self storage as the solution to their limited space, not forgetting the fact that some people and businesses use this solution even for parking cars and work vans.

When it comes to holidays and space is an issue, seasonal storage might be the solution you are looking for. Special containers can be used to hold your odd shaped items or even fragile and breakable items. For example Christmas decorations could use small boxes to keep them and separate them for future use, small cartons to hold the delicate items such as glasses, mugs or glass ornaments. Larger bins can be used to hold material and fabrics such as your tablecloths and curtains away from those pesky little moths and condensation which could cause damage to your precious items. All these containers are reusable and help prevent moisture, sturdy enough to withstand stacking, and easily cleaned of dust.

According to the rules of cardboard recycling, cartons can be put inside compost bins. Under the perfect conditions, the cardboard in these cartons would be able to break down in approximately three months. Although the plastic being extremely thin and unstable, simply just breaks up into much smaller pieces.

Self storage offers both the individual and the business a storage solution that they can control themselves entirely. Traditional storage methods allow you to rent space which you can keep your personal items and goods in specialist facilities depending on your choice and needs.

Everyone has their own personal items and goods that they would not want someone else to pack for them, and definitely not pack them into inferior removal boxes that’s for sure. That is why The Storage Depot offers you a wide range of packaging materials including durable removal boxes and cartons for your house move or storage needs.
