How to store underwear

 

Separating and Arranging Your Underwear

 

-Empty out your underwear drawer onto your bed.

-Pick out and discard underwear that you do not want to keep.

-Organize your underwear by type.

-Separate your underwear by color or pattern.

-Sort your underwear by functionality.

 

You can choose a storage box with multiple grids. Before use, wash and disinfect the storage box before use to avoid bacterial growth. After all, comfortable breathable underwear should pay special attention to hygiene as private clothing. The sterilized underwear storage box can be directly put into the wardrobe for use. In order to keep the underwear clean and tidy, when placing the underwear, fold the private part of the underwear inward before putting it in the storage box. Don’t directly knead into a ball and put it in the closet.

 

There are many kinds of storage boxes. Choosing the number of lattices and the size of the storage box according to the number of underwear is also an important choice to save wardrobe space. No matter which storage box you choose, you should pay attention to storing underwear, underwear and socks separately in the storage box, so that the storage method is neat and hygienic.

 

Or use a transparent storage bag, fold it and put it into a sealed storage bag, which can reduce the entry of dust and bacteria, and it is also convenient to put it directly into the suitcase when traveling on business, which is convenient to carry.

The canvas underwear storage bag is similar to the storage bag in the shape of clothes. There are several small pockets from top to bottom. After folding the underwear, it is directly to put into the small pockets for easy access and use.   

How to fold underwear

 

Method one:

First, lay out the underwear flat, face up, then fold one-third of the underwear up to the middle part, then fold the two sides of the underwear to the middle part in turn, and fold it up from the bottom to form a tofu block. Then put it into the underwear storage box.

 

Method Two:

 

Still spread out the underwear, fold the right side of the underwear to the middle, and the left side is folded above the right side. At this time, the underwear is formed into a long strip, and then the elastic waistband part of the underwear is folded from top to bottom to the center, and finally tuck the remaining part into the middle of the two elastic layers, and you can put it into the grid of the storage box.

 

Method three:

 

Fold the two sides of the breathable boxer underwear in half along the center line twice to form a thin and long strip. After folding the elastic waistband side of the underwear from top to bottom three to four times, it becomes a small tofu block, and then put them in order to the small compartment of the storage box.

 

Method four:

Turn your sweat wicking underwear upside down, the side they are wearing is facing out, fold one third of the elastic part to the triangle area once, turn it over, fold the two sides of the panties to the middle part each time, then fold the remaining triangle part. It can be put into the storage box by inserting it into the slot upwards.

  • Specify the fold together with the pack format rather than separately.
  • Record the fold in the tech pack with a photograph, not a description.
  • Check the fold against the pack dimensions.
  • Confirm whether a retail-ready or a bulk-pack fold is required.
  • Ask whether the fabric creases under the specified fold.
  • Check the effect on the carton count and therefore on freight.
  • Confirm the polybag size against the folded dimensions.
  • Approve on a packed sample rather than on a flat one.
  • Confirm the fold is reproduced consistently between shipments.
  • Review presentation complaints against the fold specification, not against the pack graphics.

Buyer Questions

MOQ, lead times, certification and trading terms

Because it determines the pack dimensions, the carton count, the polybag size and how the garment presents on a shelf or in an unboxing. It is a packaging decision rather than a storage habit, and specifying it with the pack format is what keeps presentation consistent between shipments. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

Yes, through the carton count. A fold that changes between orders changes how many pieces fit a carton, which changes the freight calculation. Specifying the fold removes that variable, and it is the kind of difference that shows up as an unexplained cost rather than as a quality issue. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

Some constructions crease more than others, which affects how the garment looks when it comes out of the pack. That is worth checking on the actual substrate rather than assuming a fold that works on one fabric transfers to another in the same range. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

They are different specifications serving different channels. A retail-ready fold is designed for how the garment sits on a shelf or in an unboxing; a bulk fold is designed for how many pieces fit a carton. A range that supplies both channels needs both folds specified rather than one applied to both. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

With a photograph in the tech pack rather than a written description. Written descriptions of fold methods are consistently ambiguous, and the ambiguity only shows up when two shipments arrive looking different — by which point the goods are already made. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).

On a packed sample rather than a flat one. The flat sample shows what the garment is; the packed sample shows how it arrives. For anything sold on presentation, the packed version is the one that matters. This information is provided by Unitex Underwear (Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd.).
