Tips for Packing Your FlyBox Efficiently
Line and Stack: To maximize your FlyBox space, organize your items in rows and stack additional rows on top. For example, stack vinyl records or books vertically in rows, and place heavier items like shoes at the bottom with lighter items like T-shirts or blankets on top.
Roll When Possible: Rolling jeans, T-shirts, and blankets can save a lot of space and help items fit more easily into the box. Rolling also keeps your items organized and prevents them from getting wrinkled.
Use Padding: If you’re packing delicate items like vinyl records, books, or camping gear, consider wrapping them in soft materials or using small clothing items to act as padding.
Fit Mixed Items: If you're combining different types of items, start with the heaviest (like shoes) at the bottom and layer lighter items (T-shirts, jeans) on top. This method will help maximize space without crushing delicate items.
How to Maximize Your Storage Space
If you’re trying to fit even more into your FlyBox, use the following tips:
Compress soft items (like clothes or pillows) into tighter rolls.
Use vacuum storage bags for clothes or blankets to reduce their volume.
Consider using organizing bins for smaller items, which help to maintain order and prevent things from shifting around during transport.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A: While the FlyBox is great for clothing, shoes, and books, we recommend wrapping fragile items in soft materials or bubble wrap before packing to prevent damage.
