With the holiday festivities behind us, it’s time to pack up your decorations and store them for next year. At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we provide durable moving boxes and packing materials to help protect your holiday decor. Whether it’s delicate ornaments or an artificial tree, our tips and supplies will make packing up easier and ensure your items are ready to shine again next season.
Steps for Stress-Free Holiday Storage
- Pick the Right Storage Location
- Choose a cool, dry spot to store your decorations. Avoid areas with high humidity or extreme temperatures, such as non-insulated attics or damp basements.
- Use the Right-Sized Boxes
- Heavy items like ornaments or tree stands should be placed in smaller boxes to distribute their weight evenly. This prevents the items from shifting and minimizes potential damage.
- Add Extra Protection for Fragile Items
- Wrap delicate decorations in packing paper or bubble wrap.
- Fill gaps in the boxes with packing peanuts or crumpled paper to keep items secure during storage.
- Organize and Label Everything
- Clearly label each box with its contents—such as “Lights,” “Garland,” or “Tree Topper.” This simple step saves time and frustration when it’s time to decorate next year.
- Store Artificial Trees in a Garment Bag
- A garment bag is a practical way to protect your artificial Christmas tree from dust and debris, keeping it looking fresh for the following season.
