Garment Bags for Closet Storage

💡 Expert Usage Tips

• To maintain the bag's structure and prevent the front panel from wrinkling, always use uniform slim hangers.
• For long-term storage of over six months, place a small fabric or felt cover over the top hanger hole to shield the interior from falling dust.
• Manage tension on the nylon zipper track by avoiding overfilling; never force the zipper closed if the fabric is bulging.
• If using bags with plastic components, allow them to air out for 48 hours before inserting high-value garments to dissipate initial scents.

🛡️ Material & Durability

Choosing the right material is vital for garment longevity. Non-woven fabric (100-120GSM) is the gold standard for breathability, preventing "closet musk" by facilitating gas exchange for natural fibers. For high-humidity areas, PEVA film offers a waterproof and dust-resistant barrier that is BPA-free. You can find a variety of these protective options in our full garment bags for closet storage collection.

✅ What to Look For & ⚠️ What to Avoid

Essential Must-Haves:

• Side Gussets: Look for a 10-inch gusset if you plan to store multiple bulky items like puffer jackets without crushing them.
• Reinforced Openings: Ensure the hanger hole has cross-stitch reinforcement to prevent vertical shearing under heavy loads.
• Appropriate Length: Choose 60-inch garment bags for formal gowns and long overcoats to prevent bottom dragging.

⚠️ Warning Flags: Avoid bags with lightweight plastic zippers that lack a metal crimp reinforcement, as these are prone to derailing. Also, be wary of non-breathable, thin vinyl for long-term storage of wool or silk, as it can trap damaging moisture.
