Wash and dry everything first
Stains and damp can set in storage. Wash everything, let it dry fully, and only then pack it away.
Label boxes by size and season
Clear labels mean you can find the right box the moment the next child needs it.
Check before you buy new
Look in the next box before shopping, and note what is actually missing.
