In order to keep your clothes intact and not damage them while sending them abroad, you need to pack them properly. And the only way to pack it properly is to divide it into separate groups.

This way you can transport your belongings to another country using very little space.

To transport things to Europe, for example, suits, dresses, coats, you should use cardboard wardrobe boxes. Clothes should be placed in a special case and hung in a box like in a regular wardrobe. In this case, it will not only not get dirty, will not suffer from moisture, but will not wrinkle or lose its shape.
If you are going to move to another country, you need to take care of how to transport your belongings, including clothes, quickly and safely.

Intensive flows of goods are now circulating in all directions, in particular, the transportation of things from Europe is actively carried out. As a rule, textiles and branded clothing are delivered to Ukraine from Europe using various types of transport. The main criterion for choosing a vehicle is the budget, the distance between loading and unloading points, and the transportation time.
For the transportation of goods, namely clothing, across the border, a special-purpose vehicle called a “garment truck” is usually used – a low-tonnage truck, trailer or semi-trailer with a volume of up to 40 m3 and a carrying capacity of 1.5 to 5 tons. Metal rods are installed in the body not on the side walls, the height and distance between which can be adjusted. Products wrapped in plastic oilcloth or other material are hung on the shoulders.
When transporting things across Europe and further to Ukraine, for example, textiles, the following are used for packaging:
Textiles are also sometimes wound on a spool. If necessary, the cargo can be additionally secured in the vehicle body with straps. Different specialized vehicles are used for transportation of textile products: different volumes – from 16 m3 to 120 m3 and carrying capacity – from 1.5 tons to 22 tons.
International transportation of textiles and branded clothing in small batches as part of groupage cargo is possible to reduce delivery costs. As an alternative to road transport, air transport and container transportation with 20, 40, 45-foot containers can be used. This is the best option for transporting large volumes of clothing. This method of transporting things to another country will significantly reduce the cost of transportation.
