Clothing is one of the easier items to pack up for a move or storage. Still, you don’t want to get any of your clothes ruined when packing them up. Here are a few tips to make packing your clothes easier:

• Wardrobe boxes are an excellent solution for packing clothing. Wardrobe boxes typically have a rod on the top of the box, on which clothes can be hanged.
• Pack all your loose articles in bags, such as shoes, socks, undergarments, etc. If the wardrobe boxes are big enough, these bags can be stored at the bottom, beneath the hanging clothes. This helps conserve space.
• Your dresser drawers can also be used to pack your clothes in. If this is what you decide to do, take the drawers out of the dresser and move separately. This makes the dresser much lighter and easier to handle during the move.
• Remember, too many clothes in one container can make it too heavy very quickly. Use several smaller boxes, rather than one large one. Large cardboard boxes have a tendency to rip and collapse when over packed with too many clothes.
• Don’t stack any other boxes on top of those with clothing in them. This may crush the box and damage your clothes.

Follow these tips and your clothing will be safe during your move. If storing your clothes, remember to keep them in a dry, cool place. Avoid storing them anywhere that bugs and moisture can damage your clothing.
