How to Pack Clothes for Moving with Wardrobe Boxes

Moving house can be stressful — and nothing’s more frustrating than unpacking a box of wrinkled clothes. The good news? You can avoid that with wardrobe boxes — the easiest way to move your clothes without taking them off the hanger.

Here’s everything you need to know about using wardrobe moving boxes to make your relocation smooth and crease-free.


What Are Wardrobe Boxes?

Wardrobe boxes are tall, sturdy cardboard boxes with a built-in hanging rail. They’re designed to hold clothes on hangers — ideal for moving suits, dresses, coats, and more without folding them.

At Storage Removal Boxes, we stock high-quality wardrobe boxes in the UK that protect your clothing from dust, dirt, and damage during transport.


Why Use Wardrobe Boxes When Moving Clothes?

✅ Keep clothes wrinkle-free
✅ No need to remove hangers
✅ Save time packing and unpacking
✅ Protect garments from dirt or damp
✅ Ideal for long-distance moves or storage

They’re especially useful if you're moving expensive or delicate clothing like suits, evening wear, uniforms, or coats.


Step-by-Step: How to Pack Clothes Using Wardrobe Boxes

1. Gather Your Hanging Clothes

Sort through your wardrobe and pull out the items that you want to keep on hangers. This could include:

  • Suits

  • Dresses

  • Coats

  • Shirts

  • Uniforms

2. Assemble Your Wardrobe Box

Follow the instructions to fold the bottom flaps, seal them with strong packing tape, and install the hanging rail inside the box.

3. Hang Your Clothes

Slide garments onto the rail directly from your wardrobe. Group clothes by type or by person to make unpacking easier later.

4. Fill Extra Space

To prevent clothes from shifting, fill any gaps with:

  • Lightweight folded clothes

  • Soft items like scarves or pillows

  • Bubble wrap for protection

5. Close and Label the Box

Shut the top flaps and seal with tape. Clearly label the box:

  • Which room it belongs to

  • Type of clothes inside

  • Any special instructions like “This Side Up” or “Fragile”


Pro Tips for Packing with Wardrobe Boxes

  • Don't overload: Keep boxes easy to carry. Use multiple wardrobe boxes for large wardrobes.

  • Use dust covers or dry-cleaning bags: This offers added protection for high-end garments.

  • Secure hangers: Wrap the hanging bar with cling film or stretch wrap to prevent hangers from sliding.

  • Label boxes by person or room to make unpacking simple.
