Is self storage suitable for business document archiving?

Yes — secure self storage is a cost-effective archive for records you must retain but rarely access, freeing up office space. Choose a facility with controlled access, CCTV, individual alarms, and ideally climate control to preserve paper.

How much document storage do I need?

A 25 sq ft unit holds roughly 30 standard archive boxes stacked, and a 50 sq ft unit comfortably doubles that. Stacking boxes to the unit's full height maximises capacity — see our Size Guide for help estimating.

Should document storage be climate-controlled?

For long retention periods, yes — paper degrades in damp and temperature swings. Climate-controlled units cost a little more but protect records over the years you're required to keep them.
