Package Room Setup Checklist for Multifamily Properties

A good package room is a workflow, not a closet

Most package rooms fail for the same reasons: not enough shelving, no controlled-access door, no camera, no chain-of-custody, and no plan for oversized items. Fix those five and 80% of your resident complaints go away.

This checklist covers the physical build (square footage, door, camera, shelving), the technology overlay (notifications, scanning), and the operational decisions (staffing, hours, oversized handling) that separate a working package room from a costly closet.
