""Packing cubes are extremely efficient at keeping you organized," says Lydia Mansel, Condé Nast Traveler contributor and founder of a packing list newsletter called Just Packed. "They help you pare down what you're bringing, keep clean pieces separate from dirty, and are critical if you want to avoid the dreaded 'shove everything in' method before catching your return flight.""
"With organization being their key function, think of each cube as a filing folder. Marie Kondo, known for her KonMari method, suggests starting by making a list of all the items you need. "Then, lay everything out and categorize by the type of item to get a complete look at how many items you have for each category," says Kondo."
Packing cubes transform an overstuffed carry-on into orderly, easily sorted compartments that save space and speed up packing. Use each cube like a filing folder, grouping items by category (undergarments, tops, bottoms, shoes, toiletries, accessories) or by complete outfits to eliminate decision-making. Begin by listing needed items, laying everything out, and categorizing to reveal excess and clarify quantities. Cubes keep clean pieces separate from dirty, encourage paring down, and prevent last-minute shoving before departure. Selecting appropriate cube sizes and assigning consistent categories maximizes accessibility and minimizes unpacking time.
