Packing for a move is always stressful. Between making sure you have enough <\/span>moving boxes<\/span><\/a> to fit all your stuff and trying not to drop your TV, there\u2019s more than enough on your plate. One aspect that might slip your mind is how you\u2019re going to move all of your clothes to your new house. Moving can be a messy process, and the last thing you want is to rip your favorite graphic tee or end up with a massive pile of wrinkled clothes to iron when you just want to settle into your new home. To avoid this, here are some tips on how to pack clothes for moving. Whether you\u2019re moving a couple of blocks away to a <\/span>house in Seattle<\/span><\/a> or you\u2019re going across the country to <\/span>rent a home in Atlanta<\/span><\/a>, these <\/span>moving tips<\/span><\/a> will keep your wardrobe intact.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"clothes<\/p>\n

1. Utilize wardrobe boxes<\/span><\/h2>\n

No one wants to see their clothes get all wrinkled during a move. That\u2019s why wardrobe boxes are such a great tool to get your clothes from point A to point B.<\/span><\/p>\n

Greg from <\/span>Pure Moving<\/span><\/a> explains what makes wardrobe boxes ideal for packing clothes while moving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re designed to hang clothes on a metal bar inside, keeping them neat and wrinkle-free during transport. If wardrobe boxes aren’t an option, it’s best to use medium or small boxes to avoid overpacking and ensure easier lifting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

AM Moving Company expands on why they are such a great tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur professional team packs clothes using wardrobe boxes that allow garments to hang neatly, preventing wrinkles and damage,” says Joe Walton of <\/span>AM Moving Company<\/span><\/a>. \u201cFor folded items, we use clean, sturdy boxes lined with packing paper to keep everything organized and protected. Delicate or valuable clothing may be wrapped in tissue paper or plastic garment bags for added care.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“One of the most efficient ways to pack clothes is by using wardrobe boxes,\u201d says Oded Carmi, president of <\/span>DN Van Lines<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThese allow you to transfer hanging clothes directly from your closet to the box without folding, which keeps garments wrinkle-free and makes unpacking as simple as lifting them back onto a rack. Wardrobe boxes also save time and labor because you can quickly load and unload them without having to rehandle individual items.”<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Make sure you get the most out of your wardrobe boxes<\/span><\/h2>\n

Wardrobe boxes are extremely handy when it comes to packing clothes for moving, but they are more expensive than regular moving boxes. To maximize your value, don\u2019t underestimate the area underneath your hanging clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWardrobe boxes can be great for nicer clothes, but be sure to use all of the space below the clothes,\u201d says <\/span>Atlanta Furniture Taxi.<\/span><\/a> \u201cShoes, pillows, linens, and other lighter items are great space fillers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Use garment bags and clearly label boxes<\/h2>\n

Similar to wardrobe boxes, garment bags do a great job of keeping clothes relatively wrinkle-free. These are another great tool for moving<\/p>\n

“When preparing clothes for moving and storage, keep garments on hangers and cover them with garment bags, if possible, to prevent wrinkles,” says John Burrows, CEO of DeWitt Guam<\/a>. “For folded items, tightly roll them to save space and place them in a labeled container or box carton inside the main moving box, to protect against moisture and dust during transit and long-term storage.”<\/p>\n

4. Transport folded clothes in sturdy, stackable containers<\/span><\/h2>\n

While bags can be useful in some situations, it\u2019s generally best to use sturdy, stackable containers when packing clothes for moving. Stacking containers in a moving truck allows you to maximize the amount of stuff you can move, eliminating the need for a larger truck in a <\/span>long-distance move<\/span><\/a> or multiple trips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFolded clothes can go into suitcases or plastic bins for sturdier protection and easier transport, adds Stan <\/span>Lytvyniuk from <\/span>SQ Moving Company<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> \u201cLabel each container by clothing type or season to simplify unpacking.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"empty<\/p>\n

5. Empty your dresser before calling the movers<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important to make sure you\u2019re fully prepared to move before calling the movers to load up your stuff. Not only is it respectful and convenient for the movers, but it also will save time during the move. Keep in mind that many movers charge per hour, so saving time is good for your bank account as well as your sanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRemove clothes from drawers, as your moving company will require them to be emptied,\u201d advises Julia L. from <\/span>Flash Moving Company<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThis will help you avoid last-minute delays when the movers arrive.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. OR leave clothes in your dresser for convenient DIY moving<\/span><\/h2>\n

The moving process can be physically and emotionally draining, so any potential shortcuts are welcome. Rather than emptying your dresser and packing your clothes in boxes, DIY movers can save time by simply leaving them in there, removing an item from your <\/span>moving checklist<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen packing clothes for a move, leave everyday items in your dresser drawers and wrap the entire drawer with plastic wrap or stretch film,\u201d says Shawn Wood, president and founder of <\/span>Student Movers<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThis keeps clothes secure, saves you from having to box them separately, and makes unpacking a breeze\u2014just unwrap.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

“Packing clothes are just about the only item that can be packed in numerous different ways,\u201d says Brendan H from <\/span>Asheville Area Movers<\/span><\/a>. \u201cHigh-quality dress attire? We recommend wardrobe boxes. Every day t-shirts? Save yourself the hassle and leave them in your dresser, let the movers handle the rest.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPacking clothes for a move doesn’t have to be time-consuming or daunting,\u201d adds <\/span>Black Tie Moving<\/span><\/a> president Ellis Ishee. \u201cPack an overnight bag for 3 days of the clothes you will need and use medium-sized boxes for the shoes and folded clothes that aren’t already in dressers. For the dressers, ensure the drawers close all the way and simply ask your movers to pad wrap and secure those dressers with the clothes still in them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Protect your clothes during long-distance moves and keep essentials handy<\/h2>\n

One of the most stressful aspects of long-distance moves is worrying about whether your belongings will arrive at their destination intact. Always take precautions to ensure that none of your clothes or other items are damaged in transit.<\/p>\n

“Use sturdy boxes and quality packing materials to protect your belongings on the long journey, and be sure to clearly label each box with its contents and destination room,” says Michael Cameron from Royal Alaskan Movers<\/a>. “For fragile items, add plenty of cushioning and mark the boxes as \u201cfragile\u201d on all sides. Finally, keep essentials and valuables with you during transit to ensure they\u2019re always within reach.”<\/p>\n

8. Take advantage of luggage when moving clothes<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your luggage doesn\u2019t have to be used exclusively for vacations. To save on boxes, you can simply use existing luggage to transport your clothes to your new home.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPut your luggage to work,\u201d Andrew from <\/span>Dynamic Movers<\/span><\/a> says. \u201cSuitcases with wheels are perfect for packing heavy clothing like jeans, jackets, and shoes. It makes transport easier on moving day and saves you from wasting box space. Think of it as smart packing with built-in mobility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPacking clothes for a move can be simple and stress-free with a little planning,\u201d says John Alianello from <\/span>MiniMoves<\/span><\/a>. \u201cUse wardrobe boxes for hanging items to keep them wrinkle-free, and roll or fold casual clothes into suitcases or small boxes for easy transport. Don’t forget to set aside a few outfits for your first days in your new home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Know when to roll clothes instead of folding<\/span><\/h2>\n

Growing up, we were all taught to fold our laundry before storing it away. While folding clothes in general is great for keeping everything nice and organized, it\u2019s not always the most efficient way to pack clothes when moving. Every inch counts when it comes to moving your belongings, so finding ways to steal a couple here and there can save you space and money. <\/span>According to Roni Klajner from <\/span>Serenity Movers<\/span><\/a>, rolling soft clothing like t-shirts and leggings saves space when packing for a move, while folding stiffer clothing like blazers and dress shirts can prevent wrinkles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Use hangers and garbage bags to keep your clothes together<\/span><\/h2>\n

For those who don’t want to spend the extra cash on wardrobe boxes, there\u2019s another easy way to keep your hung clothes together and wrinkle-free. All you need are some large garbage bags<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don’t use wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes, keep them on hangers and use trash bags for easy transport,\u201d advises Stephanie Rosenlund from <\/span>Moves for Seniors<\/span><\/a>. \u201cPoke the top of the hangers through the closed end of the bag and pull the bag down around the clothes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Use old clothes to cushion fragile items<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to boxes, moving often requires other materials like bubble wrap to keep items safe and intact. If you choose to take a more<\/span> minimalist approach to moving<\/span><\/a>, you could save on materials by using old clothes to protect fragile belongings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPacking for a move can be done more wisely than just filling boxes,” says Mark Ehrhardt from <\/span>Movers, Not Shakers<\/span><\/a>. \u201cSave on materials such as bubble wrap and unprinted newspaper by using your less precious clothing to wrap kitchenware and other breakables. Sheets and linens work great for electronics too, just remember to dust them first. Moving doesn’t have to be wasteful if you’re concerned about that sort of thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"keep<\/p>\n

12. Keep some clothes available during your move<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the most annoying things about moving is not having easy access to items you might need. This especially applies when it comes to packing clothes for moving. However, you can sidestep this issue if you plan ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a good idea to pack some clothes separately that you can use immediately preceding your move,\u201d says Rob from <\/span>EverSafe Moving<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThis way you’re not stressed to get everything unpacked to keep everything flowing in your life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Use medium-sized boxes for easy moving<\/span><\/h2>\n

It might be tempting to stuff all your clothes into the largest moving boxes you can find. After all, the bigger the boxes, the fewer you\u2019ll need to fill and move. However, those of us who aren\u2019t professional bodybuilders might have a little trouble lugging those big boxes around. Although you might need a few more boxes, your back will certainly thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen packing clothes for a move be sure to use the right box,\u201d says Brian Goulstone from <\/span>Golden State Storage<\/span><\/a>. \u201cWhile you might want to stuff everything into one huge box, medium-size boxes work best for easy unpacking after the move.\u00a0 With medium boxes you can organize by type of clothing or organize clothes by season.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
