15 of the Best Packing Tips Ever for Traveling

1. Make a packing list

Passport? Check. Toothbrush? Check. Sunscreen? Doh! For peace of mind that you’ve got the essentials covered. 

2. Avoid stains

Ever packed light clothes and found a stain on them when you arrived? Never have this problem again. Firstly you should always make sure your light-colored clothes are packed inside out, and secondly, hold on to hotel disposable shower caps and use them to cover the base of your shoes.

3. Roll and vacuum pack

Don’t arrive at your holiday destination and be faced with a pile of ironing. To save space and stop creasing, roll your clothes instead of folding them, then place them in vacuum compression bags. To use these bags, put your clothes in, seal the bag, then squeeze the air out. This will leave you with lots more space in your suitcase and will prevent creases.

4. Cube your clothes

Another good packing solution is packing cubes – this help separates your items and finds things more quickly once you get there.

5. Fill dead space

When it comes to packing, make use of every little inch of suitcase space that you can. Roll tops underwear, socks, and other small items and stuffs them into your shoes to make sure every possible space is filled.

6. Stay fresh

It’s important to keep your clothes smelling fresh, especially if you’re on a long trip. By taking a small bag of potpourri, fabric conditioner sheets, or scented drawer liners, you’ll keep your clothes smelling sweet throughout the trip.

7. Ziplock bags

How do you usually organize all of your electronics, cables, those fiddly bits that take you ages to dig out at security? Stuff them in like the rest of us? Well, if you want to organize your packing then get yourself a stash of zip lock bags. Phone charger, camera charger, adaptor, headphones – take extra plastic bags (the same ones you’d use for hand luggage liquids) and use them to store electrical items, things for the journey home (house keys, parking ticket, and car keys), medication and other loose accessories.

8. Cotton wool

To prevent your pressed powder or eye shadow from cracking during your travels, place a flat cotton wool pad in between the pressed powder and the lid.

9. Don’t

Whether it’s that steamy romance novel, thrilling sci-fi, or a dog-eared travel guide, download it before your trip. Even if at home you’re a paper-til-I-die sort, save the space and weight for your holiday. And don’t count on Wi-Fi to jump back into the story from your perfectly positioned beach chair. Make sure it’s on a water-resistance covered device (check out Otter box for some serious protection for your cherished e-reader, phone or tablet).

10. Empty bottles and tubes

To avoid the worst-case scenario of being robbed, it’s best to be inconspicuous: don’t flash cash or expensive jewelry. If you’re worried about valuable stuff in your hotel room, hide it in an empty suntan lotion container. You could also use empty lip balm containers to hide rolled up notes.
