Travel organised: everything you need to know about packing cubes

Dreaming of a suitcase or backpack where everything has its place from the moment you pack it? Then packing cubes are a real game-changer. These smart, lightweight storage bags allow you to divide your luggage into neat, organised compartments. No more rummaging around at the bottom of your bag for that one clean pair of socks. Whether you’re heading off on a weekend city break or going backpacking for several weeks, packing has never been this liberating.

5 reasons why you need packing cubes

Packing cubes are so much more than just little bags for your suitcase. They take your packing skills to the next level. Here are their main benefits:

1. Maximum space saving By rolling your clothes tightly and compressing them inside a cube, you make the most of the space in your suitcase. Want to travel really compactly? Choose compression packing cubes, which squeeze out excess air through an additional zip.

2. No more mess in your bag Give each category of clothing its own ‘compartment’. Keep T-shirts together, underwear in a small cube and trousers in a larger one. That way, you can see at a glance where everything is.

3. Fewer wrinkles in your clothes Because your clothes are packed securely and can’t shift around inside your suitcase, they stay surprisingly well organised and wrinkle-free.

4. Pack and unpack in no time Arriving at your hotel or hostel? There’s no need to empty your entire suitcase. Simply take the cubes out of your bag and place them straight into the wardrobe or on a shelf. Easy as that!

5. Hygienic and organised At the end of your trip, use an empty cube as a laundry bag. This keeps your dirty clothes neatly separated from your clean outfits.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about packing cubes

Absolutely! In a wheeled suitcase, they keep everything organised when you open it. In a backpack, which you’ll often load from the top, they prevent you from having to rummage through your entire bag when you need something at the bottom.

Rolling is by far the best technique. Rolling your clothes helps prevent wrinkles and makes the most of every corner of your packing cube.

Ideally, choose lightweight, water-repellent ripstop nylon or polyester with mesh on the top. The mesh allows your clothes to breathe while also letting you see what’s inside at a glance.
