How to fold bags correctly

Everyone uses their own method of storing packages. For some, this is a place in the kitchen cabinet, while others use a special bag for storing bags. Some do not stand on ceremony and returning from the store, laying out the products, send packages to the trash can. Despite the variety of methods, the storage of bags needs to be systematized, made more aesthetic. But before analyzing how to store it, you need to identify what kind of packages are in general.

What are the packages

The package serves as a packaging for products, gifts, things and more. Variety defines storage methods. After all, you can classify them in your own way. For example, you do not need to put anything in gift bags often, and therefore it makes no sense to store them together with ordinary polymer bags. How to fold packages correctly, and what they are in general. More on this later.

Filling

This type of bags is designed for disposable packaging of food, household chemicals, animal feed, and so on. Most often, it is this category of packages that is sent to the trash can. But they can be put to good use by replacing the packaging film. For example:

• divide a piece of meat into several parts, pack for further storage in the refrigerator;
• to provide separate storage of food products;
• use for storing socks, individual items, etc.

As you can see, there are a lot of applications for packaging bags. Especially for storing unnecessary things, items. Such packaging is especially loved by men who keep bolts, nuts, screws, rubber pads and other small products.

T-shirts

Although the T-shirt bags are not too roomy, you shouldn't rush to part with them. In fact, the visible uses are multifaceted, for example:

• wrap the brush after the paint in order to be able to use it again later;
• wrapping cans with something so that the contents do not deteriorate;
• store food and more.

Many people try to use T-shirts for various purposes only in order to preserve the environment. Others are just frugal. In any case, the use of T-shirts in the household will certainly be found.

Large

Capacious bags are more practical to use. With them, you can go to the store again without buying a new one. The material for their manufacture is polypropylene, and the layer thickness is significant. This allows large bags to be called relatively durable. At the same time, in practice, they can have many applications.

The most popular among them:

• under garbage (this is most often the case, because garbage bags are not strong enough to fit and maintain the tightness of heavy or liquid garbage);
• to transfer something somewhere (transfer trash from the balcony to the garage, etc.);
• for storing winter or currently unnecessary things, etc.

Thus, despite the low cost of large bags, their practical applications are diverse. And therefore, you should definitely not rush to send them to the trash can.

Gift

This type of packaging is not so diverse in its application. In particular, it can be redirected to the maximum (the main thing is not common acquaintances, otherwise it will be embarrassing). Or rather, not the package itself, but the new content in it. Basically, such packages are made of cardboard or thick paper with an additional coating. In terms of ecology, such packages are as safe as possible.

Conventionally, this type can be divided according to the following criteria:

• wall density (from simple paper to cardboard);
• material for manufacturing (plastic or cardboard);
• sizes (from small ones used for giving jewelry and souvenirs to large ones for bulk gifts).

Note! This type of package is considered the most expensive. It is used in practice much less often than others.

How to properly fold storage bags

It's easy to save a package for later use with helpful tips. There are several techniques for accomplishing this task. Each of them is aimed at preserving the possibility of subsequent use of packages and their compact placement. Let's get acquainted with each of the methods.

Triangle

The bag must be straightened and folded in half. This is best done on a firm, level surface. We add several times. The corner at the bottom of the bag folds down to the handles that hide in the triangle itself. The method is effective when it comes to standard T-shirts, soft polypropylene bags. In the subsequent convolutions can be stored anywhere, as they take up little space.

Note! By folding the bags in a triangle, they can be placed in a kind of rows. In this case, it will be much easier to get the packages.

Tubules

Roll-up is convenient for storage in a cut bottle. After pulling on the triangular bottom edge, it is quite possible to pull out the bag, straighten it and it will be ready for use. Having folded the bag into a narrow strip, it is wound around two fingers. So that he does not get loose, he is tied from above.

The resulting convolutions can be:

• put in bags;
• place in special shelves, cabinets;
• store in boxes and containers.

Note! This type of folding will allow you to keep a tight bag without wrinkling it.

Envelope

The method is simple, and its name largely explains not only the procedure, but also the end result. Packages that need to be folded like this are large in volume. It needs to be straightened and smoothed so that there are a minimum amount of irregularities. Then you need to fold alternating horizontally and vertically. An imitation of an envelope is created.

Advantages of the method:

• dense packaging can reduce the space occupied;
• it is convenient to fold packages in large quantities;
• simple enough to unfold.

Note! It is not recommended to apply the method to cardboard gift bags.

What can be stored packages

It is not only the method of coagulation that is important, but also the storage. It depends on how much space you can save so that old packages do not interfere with you. It is not always convenient to put bags in a nightstand or a wall-mounted kitchen cabinet. That is why resourceful people have come up with many methods to save space and keep packages safe and sound. Check out some of the more popular ones.

Plastic bottle

This method of preserving packages is quite common in summer cottages or in summer kitchens. In other words, where the aesthetic aspect fades into the background, giving way to practicality. The bottle should have a volume of 5-6 liters, where the neck is relatively wide in diameter. Its bottom is cut, turned over and fixed on the wall with studs or studs. It is best to store in this way those bags that have been previously rolled up in a tube. It is convenient to take out packages, you just need to pull them through the neck of the bottle or from the back side, which is cut off.

Box

Packages can be placed in a box as well. Moreover, both paper and plastic. It is convenient to place the box on the closet, and not necessarily in the kitchen, but also in the corridor. It is best to fold in triangles and envelopes, as this can save a huge amount of bags. Allowed use:

• cardboard boxes (for shoes, parcels, for household appliances);
• plastic (in rare cases it is used in practice, somewhat similar to a container);
• wooden (for example, wine boxes and the like).

Multiple boxes can be used, if space permits, to simplify the sorting order.

A bag

A regular bag is roomy enough. You shouldn't bother too much with folding packages before diving into this repository. It can be hung on a carnation, hidden in a closet.

Package with packages

You can also collect packages in a package. As a rule, such a container is used most often. Unnecessary crumpled bags are randomly immersed in it. But this is not entirely practical, because inaccurately folded bags wrinkle. You can have multiple packages to keep them separate:

• by size (large, small, medium);
• by density (transparent, not transparent);
• for the intended purpose (for packaging products, for garbage, for spare parts, etc.).

The disadvantage of this method is the possibility of moisture or food residues getting inside. In the latter case, due to one oversight, all stored packages can be saturated with an unpleasant odor.

Container

A sufficient number of bags can be stored in the container. In addition, lids are often used, and the container itself is not difficult to place anywhere. In containers you need to put packages already folded. It is important that the bags are not wet and that no food (especially food that decomposes) remains in them. Thanks to containers you can:

• sort packages by type and type, size, etc .;
• pack the bags tightly so that they do not take up extra space;
• protect packages from sunlight or moisture.

How to sort packages correctly

For successful subsequent operation, the packages can be prepackaged.This is necessary in order to get the right one, without making much effort in terms of search. After all, if you need to fold small parts or wrap a paint brush, a huge bag is simply useless. There are some tips to help you sort your packages correctly:

• it is better to put large packages to each other, neatly, since they may be needed later (the cost is more expensive, and each time buying new ones is not profitable for economic reasons);
• small packages are most often in repeated demand, it is better to keep them close at hand;
• the middle ones also do not need to be hidden far, because sometimes they are needed for trips to the market for groceries or as a substitute for trash.

Correct packing will help to put things in order, get rid of unnecessary packages, and, consequently, free up space.

How to fold gift bags

A special feature of gift bags is that they are made of crumpled materials (thick paper). Therefore, they are folded in such a way that wrinkling is minimized. Their place on cabinets or in the shelves of utility rooms can be hung by the handles so as not to wrinkle. One of the best methods for folding gift bags is to roll them into a tube. The disadvantage of this method is that it is not the most compact.

What to do if there are too many packages

First, you need to conduct an audit. After all, not all packages will be needed again. Most of them simply will not wait in the wings when they are sent to the trash can. After checking, fold the good bags neatly, the main thing is not to spare the unnecessary ones, their place is in the trash can.
