Pack Your Bags: A Step-by-Step Guide to Folding & Packing

Pack Your Bags A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO FOLDING & PACKING Open Suitcase Lay your suitcase flat on its back, fully opened. Use Your Shoes Pack as many socks and undergarments int your shoes as will fit, then set the shoes in the bottom of the bag. This is the first layer of luggage. Roll Heavy Clothing On top of your shoes, lay down a layer of heavier rolled items-jeans, sweaters, etc.-packing them in as tightly as they'll go. This not only minimizes wasted space, it also prevents the rolls from coming undone during transit. 3 Seal Any Liquids Seal any liquids such as shamp00 and shaving cream in heavy duty Ziploc bags to prevent any leaks in the event a bottle or can spills or breaks. Place them in the center of the bag on top of the heavy roll layer to protect the items from breakage. Roll Light Clothing The next layer should consist of lighter rolled items like t-shirts and undergarments, also tightly packed to prevent unrolling. Folded Clothing On top of them, place your folded items. This will allow easy access to them upon arrival for unfolding and hanging. You can also place these items in a dry cleaner bag to help prevent wrinkling. 6. Fill Empty Spots 7 Any additional lightweight items-underwear, belts, socks, etc-should then be crammed into any available nook or cranny to help stabilize the packing. Toiletry Bag 8. Put your toiletry bag on top of the folded layer, then simply close the suitcase lid and you're done. SON PRO TIP For any delicate clothing or items you want to keep wrinkle free, you may want to invest in a few wardrobe boxes. These long cardboard boxes come equipped with a metal bar designed to hang your clothes. All you'll need to do is transfer the clothes (hanger and all) from your closet to the box. This will help you avoid folding, wrinkling. and having to remove your clothes from their hangers MoveJalet: elets www.movevalet.com .with you every step 800-236-5861 [email protected] •..
