Moving Boxes and Packing Tip #1 : Packing Clothes Effectively - Get the Ball Rolling


Start by packing your clothing that is out of season. For example if you are moving in summer. Pack up you winter clothes, boots, winter sporting equipment, etc. This will give you a sense of accomplishment. A common mistake made when packing clothing is to pack using the largest moving box possible. This is a problem because once that moving box is filled it is heavy and very awkward to lift.


Also if you carry a large packing box in front of your face, you can't see where you are going. Consider packing many smaller boxes that have a manageable weight versus a few mammoth and heavy boxes. RingaBox suggests that you pack folding clothes in our Tea Chest Boxes. For dresses,  suits or anything you don't want to fold for fear of wrinkling we suggest a Porta Robe


Moving Boxes and Packing Tip #2: Apply the 80/20 Rule to Packing


Lets face it you wear your favourite 20% of your clothes 80% of the time. If you use this 80/20 mindset to look at your wardrobe, you can do a great job of packing the 80% of the clothes that you wear only 20% of the time. This way you can continue to wear the clothes you need and enjoy as you start packing.


Remember take your time to Pack that's why RingaBox allows you to keep the Packing Boxes for up to 3 months
