Packing Clothes for Moving
The main part of any move consists of personal belongings. If you are planning a move to a new house, it is especially important to ensure the integrity of your clothes. In this article, we have prepared several tips on how to pack clothes for moving. They will help you avoid mistakes during transportation and keep everything intact. In our practice, the TWO MEN AND A MOVING VAN team has encountered clothing transportation tasks hundreds of times, so we definitely know how to properly fold, pack, and ergonomically load clothes into a vehicle.
What needs to be done for more effective preparation for a move?
Moving is a stressful and exciting moment for everyone. If you are preparing for the upcoming process of transporting your belongings, we recommend starting the preparation early. The first and most important step is sorting clothes on hangers. It’s best to donate clothes you will no longer wear, discard those that are no longer wearable, and keep those you will continue to wear. This will significantly reduce the overall volume, save on transportation costs, and free up space in your new home.
The next step is packing clothes. Different types of packing materials can be used for personal items. For example, cardboard boxes, vacuum bags for outerwear, suitcases, and bags for hanging clothes that might wrinkle or are of great value are ideal. It is also important to adhere to some packing techniques. Fold clothes neatly and pack them in tight rows. You can also roll clothes into bundles and pack them in boxes or suitcases. It is particularly important to label boxes and bags with their contents and purpose (e.g., “summer clothes,” “children’s items”). This will simplify unpacking and quickly find the necessary items in the new home.
Packing shoes and accessories requires special attention. To keep them intact, you can use soft materials like towels and blankets between layers. It’s best to pack shoes separately to avoid soiling clothes, using original boxes or special bags. Scarves, hats, and other accessories should be packed separately in small boxes, and jewelry in special cases.
Want the best way for quick and successful move organization?
Proper packing of items guarantees an easier unpacking process and their organization in the new place. If you do not want to bother with sorting clothes, packing them, and other details, you can always hire professionals and order trusted movers. Moving can be challenging, but with proper preparation and organization, it will go smoothly and without hassle. A team specializing in the transportation of personal items, household appliances, and home goods can make the move more efficient and easier than doing it yourself.
