There is a growing market for storage solutions in Dubai


Many of us today are tired of the work life and fed up of the regular 9 to 5 jobs. With little time to be with the family and more time spent working, we all wish that we could simply own a business and let the business take the trouble and run itself. Owning a franchise is often the best answer to such a problem. The financial opportunities are great both ways. But the advantages of owning a storage franchise in Dubai are plenty.

First off, the storage industry is on the rise and storage companies are often falling short of space especially in the commercial arena. Most businesses today are looking for capable third party inventory management and fulfillment centers that will run according to their business model. Storage solutions in Dubai often provide such solutions. The storage company in the UAE that you are interested in will equip franchisees with the opportunity to learn about the role of the self storage industry and other related aspects. As you are a franchisee carrying their name, they will also teach you how to run the business through their extensive programs. They will also have a department to assist you and to solve any queries regarding your business. You will also gain valuable advice from them, periodically, that will in turn help your business to turn out even more successful.

Franchise holders also receive ready-made guidelines to operate their business. Basically, you can avoid simple but costly mistakes when you open a franchise under a good storage company in Dubai. You can open a franchise with The Box too. We, unlike most movers and packers in Dubai will provide you with the necessary support with the years of experience we have. We will also help you set up a moving and storage company with professional packers and movers services in no time.

Hoarding – Is it a crime?


You simply love that old wooden chair which has been in lying around in the house for years. It’s got a couple of scratches and a broken back; never been polished; yet it still exists lying in the corner of the corridor. You thought of giving it away a couple of years back; but then again why create an imbalance in the corridor and your life when it can just stay there all alone - unused.

Most of us do not even realise that we have a problem with not knowing when to let go. Yes, some objects in the house do hold a sentimental value. But those are the ones that are usually maintained. Below that are a category of furniture and goods that simply exist either because we’re too lazy to get rid of them or are simply used to having them around.

The bottom line is that one must decide on the spot which item should be held back (because there is a use for it) and which ones must simply be gotten rid off. The desire to "hold on to things" is natural and goes back many centuries. Many-a-times we don’t want to throw certain things away, because we feel we might need them in future or that throwing it away will cause a problem. Also, amassing such things at home is not a good option for some, as it can lead to reduction in actual living space.

Personal storage facilities in Dubai can help to a great extent and provide a solution for those running out of space as well as for those who have a hard time deciding what to hold back. Once decided, one can go to a storage facility in Dubai, register and take advantage of the storage space available out there which is actually meant for storing items. This frees up space back at home and one can utilise to the fullest the area that they have rented or purchased.

The Box in Dubai allows for a more comprehensive storage solution. A customer can easily rent out one or two storage units according to his or her requirements and enjoy freedom from hoarding. Apart from personal and commercial storage we also provide packers and movers services in Dubai.

Organize and Store Photographs like a Pro!


Organizing one’s photo-collection can be a tough task for quite a few people. To those looking to tackle the old photographs that have been catching dust in the attic, here are a few tips to help you succeed:

Having a place where you can spread out your photographs is perhaps one of the first things you need to tackle in order to succeed. One also has to choose a time, where disturbances (from both human and other factors) would be at a minimum. Once the time and place has been decided, the gathering of photographs should begin. Every nook and cranny, drawer and cabinet should be checked for photographs. Everything that you find must be brought back to your “control-room”.

When the gathering process is done, it is then time to begin sorting. Broadly speaking, photographs can either be sorted in a chronological order or they can be grouped under various categories. The decision on which method to use is best taken based on your preferences. You may have sorted those school time photographs, but are you sure you can remember them, say ten years from now? Labels are a great way to jog our memories during such times. Add in as much detail as you would like, but remember to do this on the back of the photograph. That out of focus photograph, the shaky-cam image and even duplicates, they are all photographs that must be discarded. Remember, they do not add value to your memories and only serve to bloat up your collection.

It is a proud moment when one finishes organizing their photography collection. But to ensure that these memorable photographs are preserved in the best possible way, they must be stored in the right kind of environment. At The Box, Dubai’s leading movers and storage companies, there are specialized facilities available for just this kind of jobs. The Box offers facilities that maintain humidity and temperature at optimum levels to ensure the best storage conditions for all your precious belongings. Also on offer at The Box are relocation services that assist with home and office moves, both, within the city and in the case of international relocations.

Commercial Storage Makes Your Office Bigger!


Employers today are trying very hard to accommodate and utilize office space to the fullest, since commercial property prices keeps rising. Small businesses end up stocking and storing lots of flyers, records and boxes of commercial goods right in their workspace which leads to a very crammed working environment hindering the work morale of the company.

The office soon begins to look like a store room where employees have to hop over piles and stacks of documents to get to their cubicles. Moreover this creates a bad impression on the clients visiting the office.

How To Make Space In Your Wardrobe



Does your wardrobe cabinet look like a disaster where the clothes just drop out when you open the doors? Well there is only one person to blame here and that is you! Most of us keep piling up on old garments when we purchase new ones. Piling up clothes is only a part of this issue. Some of us even store clothing like leather jackets and coats which take up a lot of space in the wardrobe. Another problem that results in a messed up wardrobe is the amount of clothing and gear that ends up in there, winter jackets from last years ski trip to Switzerland for example.

A simple solution would be to first take an extremely strict approach and discard all the old clothing, clothing that is years old (which you think you would wear someday… Yes someday!) and get rid of them. After you have removed the clutter from the chaos, the next task is to find out which clothes or gear you would use often. Divide the pile into two lots ones that you use daily or weekly and the ones that you don’t wear often even occasionally for that matter. With the majority of the work almost done now all you need to do is arrange your wardrobe with the clothes that you wear on a daily basis. What do I do with the other clothes you ask? That’s where storage facilities like The Box come in. Box up the entire lot of leathers, sports gear and those odd boots and head to a self storage facility in Dubai like The Box.

The Box is a safe and secure way to store all your unused household items, seasonal clothing, sports gear and even luggage. The Box is a storage solution in Dubai which strives to achieve complete customer satisfaction, be it in terms of removals, storage, moving and even logistics.

Choose What You Store


Most of us like to collect and preserve old photographs, household items and even old documents. All of this fine up to a point at which the house doesn’t end up looking like a mess, especially in the case of smaller apartments. Choosing what to store and what to dump and let go is important.

When it comes to old electronic appliances, be it even a mobile phone, get them discarded at the store the same time you buy a new one. Most mobile phone stores these days will have a system in place to safely recycle old phones. Keeping small electronic items things like old calculators, tapes, unused stationary (which you think you probably would use someday) in a drawer will usually lead to a pile up. So its best to discard such items the minute you buy something to replace it. This habit will automatically reduce clutter at home and in turn also help in saving the environment when it reaches the recycler in time. In terms of old furniture, either reuse the wood for other applications or ask the furniture company to get rid of it for you. The good thing about electronic appliances are that most stores usually have an exchange offers set in place for dealing with your old appliance. When it come to old photographs and antiques store the ones that really have value and not anything and everything. Else you’ll end up with a cartload of boxes lying around the apartment containing all the photographs turning your memories into a mess.

Now after you have chosen what to retain and what to discard, you will still end up having a couple of boxes lying around using up all those corners and spaces in and around the house and even in the wardrobe. This is when you should search for a storage facility in Dubai like The Box. The Box is a smart storage company in the UAE offering a variety of services to securely store all your precious goods and antiques with their climate controlled and CCTV monitored storage facilities.
