Packing Clothes in Boxes
October 15th 2010 15:26
Although packing clothes may seem like a simple task, there are actually a few things that people don’t consider while packing their clothing and accessories in moving boxes that can actually cause damage to the clothes.
First, it is important to choose the right box. For larger pieces of clothing, including outerwear and formal wear the clothing can be easily packed in a wardrobe box. Using a wardrobe box allows the clothing to be stored upright on a traditional bar with a hanger and can reduce the damage through the move, as well as creating an unpacking experience that is going to allow you to simply transfer the clothing and accessories from the box to the new closet. This way, you don’t have to worry about washing and dry cleaning items that have been in transit, as they are upright and in pristine condition without succumbing to wrinkles.
In the case that you are packing delicate items like formalwear in these boxes, it is recommended to use garment bags while packing. This can reduce the pulls that may occur in the fabric from the boxes being moved and exposed to one another. Garment bags are available for purchase and are often included in the formal wear that has been purchased and is therefore an essential piece of the wardrobe to keep in the case that you are moving – but also in the case that you wish to preserve the garment.
Wardrobe boxes are some of the most expensive types of moving boxes and the customer may want to call around and compare the price of the moving boxes. Most companies charge an average of twenty dollars for each box, although using the internet and comparing prices of local companies can often allow a lower price to be found.
