Discover The Best Packing Cubes for Your Luggage

Have you ever struggled with keeping your suitcase organized while traveling? Packing cubes are a game-changer. Whether you're a frequent flier or just take the occasional trip, these handy organizers allow you to separate your clothes, toiletries, and other items into convenient groupings (e.g., all of your workout clothes in one cube) making it easier to find what you need without rummaging through your entire suitcase. They also help keep garments wrinkle-free, ideal for the traveler who doesn’t have time to iron items at their destination.

The best packing cubes will also help maximize your storage space. Briggs & Riley offers the best compression packing cubes in different sizes and features so you can create a custom lineup ideal for your personal luggage.

Compression Packing Cubes

Compression packing cubes are a special type of packing cube designed to save space in your suitcase. After filling up a compression packing cube, a compression feature allows you to eliminate excess air and shrink your clothing down to its smallest size – ideal for carry-on luggage. Compression packing cubes are one of the best travel essentials for smart travelers.

Benefits of Compression Packing Cubes

The biggest advantage of compression packing cubes is that they help you save space. By compressing your clothes, you can:

• Fit more items into your luggage
• More easily accommodate bulky items like sweaters and jackets
• Bring more without needing a bigger suitcase

Preventing Wrinkles with Compression Packing Cubes

While compression packing cubes are great for saving space, one potential issue is that compressing your clothes can cause them to wrinkle more than in a regular packing cube, so be sure to pack them properly. Read our packing cubes guide for tips on getting the most out of your packing cubes.

Compression vs. Non-Compression Packing Cubes

Regular packing cubes are less likely to wrinkle your clothing, but will take up more space in your suitcase. Compression cubes are perfect when you need to maximize space and fit more into your luggage.

Choosing the Best Packing Cubes for Your Needs

You must consider several factors when selecting the best packing cubes for your travels. Before you purchase, think about your:

Travel Frequency and Duration

How often you travel and for how long can help you decide which packing cubes are best for you. If you're a frequent flier, consider a set of durable cubes that can handle regular use. Longer trips might require more cubes or larger ones to fit everything you need, while shorter trips can get by with fewer or smaller cubes.

Type of Travel

The kind of trips you take also matters. For business trips, you might want packing cubes that keep your clothes wrinkle-free and easy to access so you can quickly grab your suit or dress shirt. Sharing a suitcase might require a mix of different-sized cubes to organize everyone's clothes and belongings.

Personal Preferences

Everyone has a preferred way of packing, so think about what works best for you. Do you like to keep things super organized? Go for a variety of packing cube sizes to precisely separate your items. Or if you want easy access, cubes with mesh tops make it possible to see what's inside without opening them.

Practical Tips for Using Packing Cubes

Packing cubes can make your travel experience much smoother, but knowing how to use them effectively is critical. With a few simple tips, you can pack more efficiently, maximize your luggage space, and keep everything organized.

How to Pack Efficiently

One of your first decisions is whether to roll or fold your clothes. Rolling clothes can reduce wrinkles and space, making it a popular choice for many travelers. Folding, however, can be quicker and may work better for certain types of clothing, like dress shirts.

Maximizing Luggage Space

Use techniques like layering and filling gaps to fit more into your suitcase. Place heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Fill in gaps with smaller items like socks and undergarments to maximize every inch of space. Compression packing cubes can also help since they squeeze out extra air and make your clothes take up less room.

Maintaining Organization

Keeping your items accessible and easy to find is crucial for a stress-free trip. Use packing cubes to separate different items — one for tops, another for pants, and so on. This way, you can easily find what you need without unpacking everything. Next, label your packing cubes or use different colors for each category to quickly identify what's inside. Place the cubes you'll need first on top so you don't have to dig through your suitcase. By keeping everything organized, you'll spend less time searching for items and more time enjoying your trip.
