Are you a fan of packing cubes? Opinions vary widely. They can be a great way to stay organized on a trip and keep like items in the same area of your suitcase. But, they can also be bulky, encourage people to overpack and definitely won’t make your suitcase lighter. Clients are always asking me about packing cubes. Like any organizing product, if they work for you, they make sense. I sometimes find that a mix of packing cubes and regular packing, sometimes rolling my clothes can work for me. I also find that my clients who like to see their possessions aren’t the best candidates for packing cubes, but those that like to containerize everything are big fans. I even have some clients who like the compression cubes to squeeze more into the suitcase or bag space.
Like them or not, they are here to stay. There are endless brands, colors, shapes and sizes. And, if you don’t like them for your clothes – you can always use them for all the miscellaneous things you will bring – chargers, headphones, accessories, you name it!
