Earlier in the week we talked about storing seasonal merchandise. For clothing items, a great way to keep them from being damaged is with Garment Bags and Clothing Covers. We recommend keeping these items hung if you can. A large bin or box where items can lay flat will also keep clothing neat.
Plastic Garment Bags come in rolls of up to 486 in each roll, depending on what size you need. They are available in white or clear. Garment Bags will keep clothing from dust, dew and other potentially damaging elements. Also, consider offering Garment Bags with a customer purchase as a nice touch and they will protect the product during transport from your store to a safe closet. Also, Clear Plastic Shirt Bags are great for keeping dress shirts looking their best. For easy application of Garments Bags use a Garment Bag Rack with Bagging Jack. This garment bag rack features adjustable hooks, which hold each garment while the bag simply slips down over the top.
For larger, more expensive or formal clothing, a plastic garment bag may not be the best choice. The following options are more durable and optimal for long term storage.
- Bridal Gown Cover – Zippered in Clear or White –Damage can be caused just by materials rubbing up against each other. Use these bags for storage or in-store display to keep them looking their best.
- Grip-Tite Garment Bags – Available in two sizes, these canvas garment bags are water resistant and great for moving. With a unique patented locking system that clamps garments tight without creasing or folding, you can enjoy worry-free storage.
- Suit Cover – Polyester Zippered – Featuring a reinforced hanger opening, full length zipper and cold crack resistance, these suit covers are available in two sizes and are ideal for storage and transport.
When you’re ready to take your merchandise out of storage, we recommend using a steamer to make items look brand new. For more information on steamers check out this past blog post, “Friday Feature Product: Steamers.”
