Packing Cubes For Travel

Shacke Pak – 4 Set Packing Cubes – Travel Organizers with Laundry BagOrganize Your Suitcase With Packing Cubes!

My parents were world travelers in their retirement years – they owned the finest Samsonite luggage. And, if they were around today, they certainly would have owned two sets of these wonderful inventions called packing cubes.

‘What exactly ARE packing cubes?’ you might ask (as I did…). Well, they’re the best invention for travel since, well, airplanes.

Packing cubes help you easily organize any suitcase, regardless of size, by packing similar items together. Each packing cube zippers shut and you can stuff these babies FULL!

And, with a handle on the top, each packing cube can be toted on its own – no suitcase is even needed for our short, overnight getaways. We just pack ’em, grab, and go!

An Example Of How I Organize My Travel With Packing Cubes

Note: The Shacke Pak packing cubes come in a set of four packing cubes in the following sizes:

• Extra Large (17.5″ x 12.75″ x 4″)  –  Perfect for larger items like sweatshirts, sweaters, jeans. and other bulky items.
• Large (13.75″ x 12.75″ x 4″) –  I generally use this size for blouses, less bulky sweaters, shorts, and light pants.
• Medium (13.75×9.75×4) – I stuff this packing cube with t-shirts, undershirts, blouses, robes, exercise clothes, and even shoes.
• Small (11″ x 6.75″ x 4″) – And, the smallest packing cube I own easily carries enough of the items I need for seven days worth of underwear, bras, and nightgowns for my travels.

Benefits Of Packing Cubes

• An organized, tidy suitcase where everything is easy to find. And, to further organize, you can attach labels so you will know exactly what you put in each cube.
• Packing cubes make it a breeze to unpack once we get to our destination. It is a TOTAL joy to open one of the nylon zipper bags and hang up all my dresses at once as they’re all in the same packing cube.
• Packing cubes come in many colors so I can easily identify my clothing from my husband’s.
• Not only are the cubes the best for traveling, they’re also the very best in organizing wash day when we return.I just grab a cube, unload the contents into the washer and, voila, part one of the job done.

Organizing for a trip has never been easier or more convenient.

Other Useful Items We Use When Traveling

My parents’ luggage was always packed in case a trip should present itself, and we follow their lead.

I store the below items right inside our largest suitcase so they’re easy to find and grab for our next travel path.

Note: since airline regulations are so strict about bag weight, we always carry a portable scale with us. We’ve never once packed over the limit in weight with the use of this scale to check.
