Remember when you moved out of your parents’ house, a plastic garbage bag filled with your belongings slung over shoulder? Moving was a simple game then, because you didn’t have much to pack, and you didn’t really have anything worth losing.
Now that you’re moving for real, it’s tempting to stuff all of your clothes into a few trash bags like you did in college, but when you’re moving an entire household of belongings with your whole family, it’s time to update your moving strategy.
Packing clothes during a move can feel a lot like working retail. But when you do it right, you will be so much happier when you arrive and all your clothes are neatly packed and waiting to be placed in their new home.
Skip the trash bags and use these tips to properly pack your clothes for your move.
Take Advantage of Your Dresser
Want to save some time during packing? Leave your clothes in the dresser and simply pack the dresser. As long as the dresser itself is wrapped and secure so the drawers don’t fly open, this can save you time and space on the moving truck. If, however, you have a lot of heavy and bulky items in the dresser, check with your professional movers before doing this.
Label Your Clothes
As you remove all your clothes from the closet, take the time to fold them before putting them in the boxes. This will save you time when you’re tired and unpacking in your new home. Organize your clothes by type so you can more easily access the clothes you will need immediately. Use labels if some of your clothes–like coats and costumes–are going to the garage, basement or hallway closet.
Ask for Hanger Wardrobe Boxes
For your high quality or delicate clothes that you want to keep on hangers, ask your professional movers for hanger wardrobe boxes. Here at Moving Forward San Francisco Movers, we provide boxers to all our customers. Just ask!
Use Vacuum Seal Bags
Save more space and keep your bulky clothes clean with vacuum seal bags. This way you will be able to fit more clothes into bags or in luggage, which will allow for you to put more stuff on the truck. The vacuum seals also keep you clothe dry, just in case any leaks or weather threaten the safety of your belongings.
Make Use of Your Luggage
Before you wrap up your luggage, use that extra space to pack extra clothes. Your luggage was designed to transport clothes, so make use of the space. When it comes time to unload the truck, you will also be able to easily identify your clothes and set them aside.
