Getting the Most Out of Packing Cubes

Packing cubes maximize the space in your luggage, so you can fit more in one bag, reduce how much luggage you need to carry, and make traveling easier. When you fit more into fewer pieces of luggage, you can save money on checked bag fees and lower the risk of losing anything. The packing cubes and compression cubes from TravelSmith let you streamline your packing with ease!

Divide and Conquer

The best way to prevent over-packing is to make a list of everything you need. Our downloadable packing checklist is a great tool for this. Make a list of the clothing and apparel items, a list for toiletries and another list for electronics. When you break your items down by category, you have the perfect way to divide and organize your luggage so everything is easy to find when you arrive at your destination. Separating items like bath products and electronics is the smart way to avoid leaking disaster risks and other packing problems. And for small items like jewelry, extra pockets help you keep everything secure and in-place for easy access.

Packing Cubes in Your Carry-On Bag

If you’re taking a shorter trip, packing cubes are a great way to eliminate the need to check a bag. While the airlines might be fairly stringent about the size of your carry-on luggage, you’ll be able to maximize that space if you pack using compression cubes. With the ability to zip down and reduce volume by 50%, you’ll be able to fit everything you need, save time at check-in and at baggage claim, and of course, avoid paying the fees for checking bags.

Traveling with Children

If you’re traveling with small children, you can use cubes to organize their clothes and often get clothing for two children in one piece of luggage, reducing what you need to carry to and from the airport. You’ll find it’s a lot easier to haul one large suitcase with interior organizers than keeping small kids in tow lugging their own suitcases.

Repacking for Your Return

At your destination, your packing cubes keep everything organized and in check, so it couldn’t be easier to pack for your return flight. You can move your clothes to a separate cubes after you’ve worn them, making it easy to figure out laundry when you get home.

Packing cubes have proven to be a huge help for thousands of travelers every year. Find the perfect compression cubes and packing folders for your next trip, from TravelSmith!
