When it comes to moving, the headache usually lies on how to pack clothes, since those are usually what we own the most. Some genius saw our pains and invented the wardrobe box to solve the problem. With the wardrobe box, the process of packing clothes is faster, easier and more convenient.
What is a Wardrobe Box?
Wardrobe boxes are specifically designed for storing clothes with a built-in metal hanging bar. Instead of folding clothes, storing them in regular boxes, you are saved from all of those hassles with wardrobe boxes. They are usually 44 ECT heavy duties boxes that can hold up about a half a standard size closet. These boxes act as a portable closet that let your clothes stayed on the hangers without getting wrinkles at ease. Once you get to your new place, it is convenient to transfer your clothes from these boxes to the new closet. You can purchase wardrobe boxes at home improvement stores in Texas, such as Home Depot.

How to Pack with a Wardrobe Box
Although as simple as it is, there are dos and don’ts when using wardrobe boxes. Adopt these useful tips will let you get the most out of your wardrobe boxes when moving or storing your clothes in a self-storage unit.
Sort your clothes by type before placing them in the wardrobe box
Wardrobe boxes come in many sizes, therefore you might want to use different boxes for different lengths of the clothes.
