Sealed Totes

When it comes to which type of container or box to use for your winter clothing, you’ll want something with a good seal. The greatest option is tightly-sealed plastic containers since they will help keep water and other moisture out, preventing mold and damage to your clothes while they’re away in storage.

Vacuum Bags

If you’re looking for a way to store your winter coats and snow pants, it’s important to try to compress them so they don’t take up as much room. Vintage vacuum bags are ideal for this. You’ll probably want to use individual bags for each piece of outdoor winter clothing so that they remain flat as possible. Place the bags in your designated waterproof container once they’ve been sealed.

Organize and Label

When it comes to storing your winter gear, you should make sure that everything is neat and labeled. That’s why it’s a good idea to have different containers for your indoor and outdoor winter clothing. You’ll also want to label the boxes with what’s inside. If you plan on buying individual boxes for each member of your family, keep in mind that they will take up more room in your storage unit.
