Consider Taking Apart Furniture
Yes, we know this is a pain and is a lot of work, so this is all personal preference, but if you want to save space in your container, take apart your furniture. It is time-consuming, but it definitely has more pros than you may think. It will first save space in the container, protect your furniture from getting damaged during the move, and make it easier to reassemble your furniture once you reach your destination.
Fill Empty Space
It’s important to fill any empty space in your portable container so that your belongings don’t shift during transport. This will help prevent damage to your belongings, and it will also make sure that your container is evenly balanced. If you have a lot of smaller items, you can use packing peanuts or other similar materials to fill the gaps.
