Why Packing Cubes Are The Best Travel Packing Organizers?

Packing cubes can be reused, over and over again! Some organising tools for travel like Ziploc bags don’t have this capability. You know they’ll end up ripping after a few uses.

• One-time investment

If you really want to feel organised when traveling, you just need a one-time investment, with the right packing cubes. When you save money on baggage fees since you packed so well, the cubes will pay for themselves in no time. 

• Compartmentalizes a suitcase

With packing cubes, you’re basically compartmentalizing your luggage. The cubes work like drawers for your luggage so you can simply find the packing cube with the particular items you need, pull out the cube and then put it back.

We’ll tell you how you can pack with packing cubes. So if you’re ready, here are some tips on how to make the most of your packing cubes:

1. Hotel amenities or bring your own?

The first thing you need to do is research or call the place you’re staying in. Find out what they already have included - shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer, razors, clothes steamer, etc. You can save precious space in your luggage if you don’t have to bring some of these bulky items!

2. Use a packing list

How long will you be traveling? Use a simple checklist to check off items as you take them out of your closet. Lay them out on the bed separated by category of clothing. You can also categorize by outfit, which is ideal for short trips.

3. Casual tops and bottoms can go in a Medium Cube

We recommend sorting your casual clothing into one or two medium packing cubes. This includes tops, blouses, skirts, dresses, shorts and leggings. Utilize the rolling method for these types of clothes.

Use the regular folding method to pack jeans, jackets and sweaters into a large packing cube. This size cube is also perfect for packing formal clothes to avoid wrinkles while in transit.

Once you zip up your packing cubes, you might find small spaces where you can fit other clothing items into. So before packing them in your suitcase, make use of these spaces by adding smaller items inside them. Fitting packing cubes inside a suitcase is like completing a puzzle. It might take several tries for you to find the ideal packing cube positioning for your suitcase.

Here’s a quick breakdown of our different cube sizes and what you can pack inside them:

Happy packing!
