If you’re looking for storage in Malta, you’ll likely come across traditional self-storage units — but there’s a modern, more flexible option you may not know about: shared warehouse storage.
At StoreX, we specialise in this approach, helping both individuals and businesses find secure, cost-effective storage tailored to their exact needs.
In this guide, we’ll explain how shared warehouse storage works, who it’s for, and why it’s becoming one of the most popular storage solutions in Malta.
What Is Shared Warehouse Storage?
Shared warehouse storage means your items are stored in a professionally managed, secure warehouse — not in a locked room or container you rent yourself.
Here’s how it works at StoreX:
You can arrange to have your items collected or bring them to us.
We professionally pack and shrink-wrap your belongings on industrial pallets.
Your items are stored in a humidity-free warehouse space with 24/7 CCTV and on-site security.
You pay based on the volume you occupy (measured in cubic metres) — no need to rent an entire unit.
It’s a flexible, transparent, and secure option that suits a wide range of personal and business needs.
The Process: How It Works at StoreX
1️⃣ Collection & Transport
You can choose to transport your items to us, or use our Transportation services for convenient pickup and delivery.
2️⃣ Packing & Inspection
Before storage, your items should be properly packed to ensure their safety. We offer expert Packing & Unpacking services and can supply all necessary Packaging Materials.
Upon arrival, we:
Inspect your items
Stack them onto industrial pallets
Secure them with shrink wrap for protection
3️⃣ Measuring Your Storage Volume
You only pay for the space you use. Once your items are palletised, we calculate the exact cubic metres required for storage.
4️⃣ Secure Storage
Your belongings are stored in:
Humidity-free warehouse space
Protected with 24/7 CCTV surveillance
On-site security personnel
Optional Services Insurance available for added peace of mind
5️⃣ Retrieval?
When you need your items back, simply contact us. We prepare them for retrieval and can arrange delivery back to your location via our Transportation team.
