An average move generates between 20 and 40 boxes. Clothes alone often account for 8 to 10 boxes. With the right method, you can halve that number and save on moving costs.
Why clothes are a moving nightmare
Clothes are bulky, lightweight, and difficult to pack efficiently. Folded in boxes, they leave a lot of empty space. The result: half-full boxes that cost as much to transport as full ones.
The solution: compress before packing
The BagSlim compression bag reduces the volume of your clothes by 50% in 5 seconds thanks to its integrated electric pump. Compress your sweaters, down jackets, and bulky clothes into BagSlim bags, then place them directly into your boxes or suitcases. You'll cut the number of necessary boxes in half.
Method: how to organize your clothes for a move
- Sort first: take advantage of the move to donate or recycle what you no longer wear
- Separate by category: sweaters together, pants together, sportswear together
- Compress category by category into labeled BagSlim bags
- Place the compressed bags in your suitcases or boxes — they fit together perfectly
- Decompress upon arrival by simply opening the airtight seal
Tangible benefits for your move
- Fewer boxes: direct savings on moving costs
- Protected clothes: the airtight seal protects against dust and humidity during transport
- Easy storage: compressed bags fit directly into wardrobes in the new home
- Reusable afterward: the BagSlim can then be used for off-season storage and travel
How much do you really save?
A moving box costs on average €2 to buy and €15 to €30 to transport depending on the provider. By reducing 5 boxes of clothes, you save between €75 and €150 on your move. The BagSlim pays for itself with the first move.
FAQ: moving and compression
