Tired of ironing everything after you move? The ranger roll method keeps your clothes wrinkle-free during packing and transport. This military packing technique has been used for decades because it works—your clothes stay smooth, take up half the space, and don't come undone in boxes.

Here's the ranger roll step-by-step:

• Lay your shirt flat on a surface
• Flip about 3 inches of the bottom hem inside out (this creates the "cuff")
• Fold both sleeves toward the center
• Roll tightly from the collar down toward the cuff
• Squeeze air out as you roll for a tighter pack
• Tuck the entire roll into the cuff you made at the bottom
• The cuff locks everything in place
This method gives you wrinkle-free clothes in half the space of traditional folding. No ironing required when you unpack at your new place. Whether you're packing t-shirts, dress shirts, or casual wear, the ranger roll works for all fabric types. Extra Space Storage offers secure storage solutions during your move.
