12 PACKING HACKS YOU’LL LIVE BY

By  Chelsea Stuart

We interviewed experts, perused Pinterest, and polled our friends and family for
all the packing hacks we could find. Here, the top 12 tricks for putting
together a better bag.


UTILIZE EXTRA (HIDDEN) SPACE

Be creative when it comes to fitting in as much as possible. Capitalize on
otherwise wasted space—like the inside of your shoes—for storing smaller objects
like socks or breakables like perfume.


GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR YOUR MAKEUP

Powder foundation, blush, and other pressed cosmetic compacts can easily break
if they’re left shifting around in a bag. To ensure your precious products don’t
end up smashed, pack a cotton ball or cotton pad in the case before securing the
lid.


PACK CLOTHES INSIDE OUT

Piggy-backing off of the roll vs. fold debate, we have another option for
avoiding wrinkles (and stains!): packing your clothes inside out. While we
aren’t about to guarantee professional-press status, this works particularly
well for suits.


SEPARATE BY WEIGHT

A rule of thumb should always be to pack your heaviest items at the bottom of
your suitcase. Placing the majority of weight—i.e. shoes, jeans, hoodies—closer
to the wheels will leave your luggage rolling much easier.

ENSURE (RELATIVELY) SMOOTH SAILING FOR YOUR SUITCASE

Suitcases are really put through the wringer after being checked, what with
myriad chutes, cramped cargo storage, rides around baggage claims, and the like.
To eek out a bit of a break for your tired luggage, slap a bunch of fragile tags
and stickers on your bag pre-check in. This means your stuff will ride on the
top of the pile and hopefully avoid being squished.


CAREFULLY CONSIDER ROLL VS. FOLD

It seems like the two camps on this age old debate will never see eye to eye,
but we see benefits to both. Consider rolling thinner, more wrinkle-prone items
like blouses, while folding bulkier items like jeans and sweaters.


PUT HOTEL SHOWER CAPS TO USE

Though you’ll likely never find us with a hotel shower cap on our head, you will
find us using them to pack shoes. For those whose luggage doesn’t have a
convenient little shoe divider, slipping your (likely) dirty soles into a cap
means you can place them among your clean clothes with no worries.


PACK SOME PLASTIC WRAP

Afraid of exploding toiletries? We always are! Unscrew the caps to your bottles
and cover them with plastic wrap before re-screwing on the lids. This extra
layer of protection will save your belongings from unforeseen spills.

PACK A SUNGLASSES CASE (BUT NOT FOR SUNGLASSES)

If your purse is a bottomless blackhole (like ours are) then you know the
struggle of fruitlessly searching for loose iPhone cords and chargers. In order
to find what you’re looking for every time (and keep your power cords safe from
fraying) store all of your chargers in a hard sunglasses case.


GET CREATIVE WITH ACCESSORY STORAGE

Dainty accessories can often get lost in the mix. In order to keep everything
together and damage free, try storing rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets
in a pill container. If you’re only bringing a few pieces, buttons work
wonderfully for keeping track of earrings, and weaving necklaces through straws
means you won’t have to deal with any impossible knots or kinks.


KEEP THINGS FRESH

If you’re traveling for more than a couple of days, stuffing dirty outfits into
a compact space can leave clothes less than laundry-fresh. To ward off odors,
throw a couple of dryer sheets in your suitcase.


KEEP YOUR COLLAR IN SHAPE

Pack a rolled up belt in the collar of your shirt to help prolong its form.
Aside from maintaining your shirt’s integrity, it’s also utilizing otherwise
wasted space (which you know we’re big fans of!)
