An excellent way to save money on your move is to learn how to pack moving boxes to maximize their available space. Your goal is to use the fewest number of boxes as you can while keeping them at a weight you and others can still carry. The packaging supplies experts at Paradise Self Storage, located in Kahului, HI, are here to explain how to pack moving boxes for maximum storage.

Follow these space-saving tips when packing the following three types of items into moving boxes:

  • Clothing: A great way to maximize space in your moving boxes is to roll each item of clothing into tubes and pack them as tightly together as possible inside the boxes. The key to saving space is to layer the rolls of clothes on top of each other until the box is filled. If you have bulky clothing like winter coats, cover your clothing rolls with the bulky items before finally closing the box.
  • Breakable Items: When packing fragile dishes, bubble wrap them or use sturdy packing paper to prevent them from breaking during your move. Lay your dishes on their edge rather than stacking them on top of each other to save space, and put similar dishes together in each box.
  • moving boxesBooks: The best way to pack books is to stand them up inside of the box with their spines against the side of the box. Stacking them on top of each other takes up too much space in the box. If you have enough room in the box, add a second layer of books, otherwise lay them flat on top of the first layer.
