How to Pack Clothes for Moving: Fast and Wrinkle-Free

Clothes are bulky but light, so the goal is to protect them and save space without creating a mess at the other end.

Best methods

• Hanging clothes: use wardrobe boxes so they go straight onto the new rod, wrinkle-free.
• Folded clothes: pack in your own suitcases and travel bags — free and sturdy.
• Off-season/bulky items: vacuum bags save a lot of space.
• Keep a separate "first night" bag with 2 days of clothes and essentials.

Label each box by room and person so unpacking is quick. Avoid overpacking boxes — keep them light enough to lift safely.
