Ways to Pack Clothes for Moving

January 22,2022

One of the challenges of moving is figuring out how to pack clothes in a way that they won’t get wrinkles or become dirty. If you don’t put some effort into packing your clothes for moving, you could end up with stained clothes and a mess that will take you a lot of time to sort out. Besides, disorganized clothes can take up a lot of space in the moving truck and make your move even more stressful.

Luckily, you can streamline the wardrobe-moving process if you're willing to put in the effort. In this article, we will provide you with practical tips that will help you pack clothes for moving like a pro.

  • Sort Through Your Clothing

Before you start packing your clothes, sort through them by season, type, or material. Sorting helps you determine how much you have in each category, what you’ll need to get rid of, and the number of boxes you’ll need. While sorting your clothes may take some time upfront, you’ll have it easy when it’s time to unpack in your new destination.

  • Find The Right Boxes

You'll need to take your time to find boxes that will fit all of your clothing, shoes, and accessories. Bulky winter clothing takes up more space, so you'll need to find bigger boxes that will fit all of your clothing. You will also need smaller boxes for items like scarves, socks, t-shirts, shoes, and accessories.  If you're moving on a budget, you can check out local stores and see if they have some boxes, plastic bags, or bubble wrap they don't mind giving you.

  • Donate Gently-Used Clothes

You can consider giving away some of the gently-used clothes that you no longer wear as part of decluttering. Start with sorting everything and figure out what you want to get rid of. If the clothes are in good condition, find a charitable organization that accepts clothing donations and drop them off. Donating some of your gently-used clothes not only shortens your household inventory list, but also saves you money.

  • Utilize Garbage Bags or Vacuum Bags

Garbage bags or vacuum bags are more efficient for packing clothes because they provide ample space. They also offer better protection against moisture and dirt.

  • Pack Your Shoes Separately

Ensure you keep all your shoes separate from other clothing to prevent your clothes from getting dirty. If you have shoeboxes, you can use them to pack your shoes and stack them into a larger box.
