Clothing such as sweaters, shirts, bed and bath linens should be packed in the 3.1 or 4.5 cubic foot moving boxes. Comforters, pillows and any light bulky articles can easily be packed in the 6.1 cubic foot moving boxes. After the box is assembled, line the bottom of the box with packing paper. Neatly place the clothing or linens into the boxes. Never jam or overstuff clothing into the box. This could result in time-consuming ironing after you unpack.

Wrap accessories such as belts and handbags in paper before packing them. Always try to pack items in neat bundles. If not in their original boxes, expensive designer shoes should always be wrapped in paper, keeping pairs together. Ties may be wrapped in groups of 3 or 4 in a sheet of packing paper in order to keep them neat and clean.

Pack hanging clothing into stand-up wardrobe boxes. Our 10.1 wardrobe box has an aluminum bar that spans two sides. The wardrobes generally hold about 2 ft of linear closet space. Clothing may be left on hangers and neatly hung on the bar. Do not overstuff the boxes, and do not pack anything in the bottom of the box.
