While moving, you need to pack a lot of things. But the main issue lies with packing clothes. Since we own a lot of clothes, packing them in boxes makes them wrinkly.

To solve the issue, we have an effective solution. Pack your clothes in wardrobe boxes while moving houses. It makes the process of packing clothes much easier, faster, and more convenient.
What’s A Wardrobe Box?
Wardrobe boxes are a type of moving box designed specifically to pack clothes. They are rectangular in shape with built-in metal bars for hanging clothes. So, instead of folding attires as you do in cardboard boxes, you hang the clothes in wardrobe cartons.
But what if the metal bar breaks? —it’s a shared concern for a lot of people.
Don’t worry. These boxes are heavy-duty ones. Each one of them can hold up to half a standard size of wardrobe clothes. The idea is to create a portable cupboard ...
... while changing houses. It will save the clothes from wrinkles or damage.
So, once you get to your new place, you can conveniently transfer all your attires from the boxes to your wardrobe. You can then fold and store these boxes for future use. Or you can keep seasonal clothes in them to keep your cupboard organised.
How to Pack Clothes in Wardrobe Boxes?
Although the job is simple, there are ways and tips to make it better.
Declutter Your Clothes
Before placing all your clothes in wardrobe boxes, go through them once and make sure to declutter as much as possible. Trust us when we say this, but decluttering helps while moving. It takes out all the unnecessary stuff from your old home. Thus, you have more storage in your new place.
To do this, take all your clothes out and start sorting them. If you haven’t worn an item for over a year—you aren’t going to wear them. So, donate them for others to use.
Sort Them Out by Type Before Placing Them in Boxes
Wardrobe boxes, like other cardboard boxes, come in many sizes. And it is recommended to buy different sizes of boxes for different lengths of garments. Before placing the items in the box, sort them by length and utility.
This has two benefits. It saves you longer clothes from wrinkles if they are placed in smaller wardrobe boxes. It helps you keep a track of your belongings. So, if a box contains jackets and gowns for special occasions, you can keep them stored properly.
Never Overpack The Boxes
There is a reason why packaging materials like moving boxes, and parcel boxes come in a lot of different sizes. Each size has a maximum capacity which should be maintained.
As for any type of house moving box, it shouldn’t weigh above 50 to 60 pounds. Overpacking leads to mishaps. If you stuff the wardrobe boxes with too many clothes, it can cause them to wrinkle. The movers can drop the boxes and cause damage to your apparel. Additionally, packing tapes don’t stick well in overstuffed boxes.
Utilise The Boxes for Other Items
You will be surprised to know that wardrobe boxes can be used to pack other items as well. They aren’t just for your wardrobe. You can pack pillows, cushions, blankets and even shoes. The floor of the wardrobe boxes will be free. So, store the items there. We advise you to use packaging paper or bubble wrap to cover the items before putting them on the floor of the boxes.
Later, you are done moving out, you can use these boxes to store guest blankets, bedsheets, towels, and shoes.
