Packing Cells & Pouches

Items 1 - 24 of 78

• You're currently reading page 1

Packing cells and pouches are a great way to keep your clothes and electronics organised when travelling. Packing cubes and pouches make travelling easier so you can focus on taking in all the sights.

Are packing cubes available at Paddy Pallin?

Yes! At Paddy Pallin we stock several packing cubes from different travel brands to help keep you more organised when travelling. Lightweight travel packing cubes are available from Osprey and Sea to Summit , like the Osprey Ultralight Packing Cube Medium and the Sea To Summit Travelling Light Packing Cells . These packing cells are extremely lightweight ensuring they do not add additional weight to your luggage and also pack flat when not in use. Cotopaxi packing cubes are also available at Paddy Pallin and come in several sizes like the 2L Travel Cube , 3L Travel Cube and 10L Travel Cube allowing you to pick the perfect sized packing cell for your travels. If you are looking for a durable packing cube, the Patagonia Black Hole Cube - Small or Black Hole Cube - Medium is perfect for your adventures. The Patagonia Black Hole Cube - Medium has mesh dividers which provides extra organisation inside the packing cube. If you are bringing an extra pair of shoes travelling, the Sea to Summit Travelling Light Shoe Bag is an excellent packing cell to carry your shoes when travelling as it will separate your shoes from the rest of your gear.

Do I need to bring packing cubes when travelling?

Packing cubes are a great way to keep all your items organised when travelling. Depending on your travel pack or luggage there may be little organisation within the pack with just a large compartment for your clothing and other smaller compartments. Packing cubes are useful when travelling as they keep your clothing in one place ensuring you can access your clothes easily. Packing cubes can usually fit easily into the main compartment of your bag and depending on the size you can fit several packing cubes inside your luggage for additional organisation. Using several packing cubes when travelling is a great way to separate your clothing items allowing for further organisation while on the road. Packing cubes can also maximise space inside your bag as they can compress your clothing allowing for more room in your pack.

Should I bring a laundry bag when travelling?

Depending on the length of your trip it can be a good idea to bring a laundry bag when travelling. A laundry bag is a great way of separating dirty clothing from your clean clothing, while also providing a way of carrying your dirty clothing to a laundromat. At Paddy Pallin we stock several lightweight packing cubes which are multiuse and can be used as a laundry bag. The Sea To Summit Travelling Light Packing Cells and Cotopaxi Cubos 3L Travel Cube both make great laundry bags with plenty of space.

How do I protect my passport when travelling?

When travelling internationally your most prized possession is often your passport, so it pays to look after it. At Paddy Pallin we stock several passport holders to keep your passport safe from damage and theft while travelling. The Wenger Travel Document Organiser is a great way to protect your passport from damage and also has plenty of room for additional credit cards, money and tickets making it ideal for travel. Another great option is the Osprey Document Zip Pouch which offers great protection and also is RFID blocking for added security. Protecting your passport from theft is important when travelling which makes the Sea To Summit Travelling Light Neck Pouch a great discrete option as it will stay hidden from any thieves. If you are worried about getting your passport wet, a dry bag is an effective way of protecting your passport from the elements. The Fidlock Hermetic Dry Bag Maxi is an easy to use dry bag that is 100% water and sand proof, which will keep your passport completely dry and protected when travelling.

How should I organise my electronics and cables when travelling?

When travelling you often are bringing several types of electronics and all the cables which accompany them, so it is important to keep them organised while on the road. The easiest way to organise electronics and cables when travelling is by using pouches to organise your gear. Pouches are great for storing electronics and cables as they can be neatly kept together and can all be easily accessed from your bag by just grabbing the pouch. The Osprey Transporter Powerhouse provides great organisations with elastic molle for your cables and multiple pockets for other electronics. If you need some additional protection for your electronics, the Sea To Summit Travelling Light Padded Pouches can provide some much needed protection to your electronics while travelling.

What packing cell and pouch brands are available at Paddy Pallin?

At Paddy Pallin we stock several quality packing cells and pouches from some of the best travel equipment brands. This includes high quality packing cubes from Osprey , Cotopaxi , Patagonia and Sea to Summit. We also stock passport holders from Wenger and Osprey to help you to protect your passport while travelling.

By Travellers, For Travellers

Never Iron At Your Destination

After extensive testing of our cubes, we've found that rolling clothes neatly into the cubes prevents wrinkles & eliminates the need for ironing.

Life-Long Packing Companion

Our cubes are crafted with premium quality, ultra-sturdy zippers to ensure the cubes are easy to compress and last a lifetime.

No More Bulky Suitcases

By compressing your clothes & saving 60% more space in your suitcase, you can pack more or opt for a smaller suitcase that's easier to carry around.

Built To Last

Our cubes have been designed to last. With tear-resistant, premium quality nylon fabric, you'll be packing with these cubes for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

For effortless compression, our cubes are equipped with two zippers, a main zipper & a compression zipper. When you have filled the cube with as many clothes as you can fit, you simply zip up the main zipper to secure your items, then zip up the compression zipper to remove lal air from the cube and compress your clothes.

When using compression cubes, if you roll or fold your clothes neatly before packing them into the cube, they are protected against creasing & wrinkles.

The cubes are made from premium quality nylon fabric, designed to be ultra durable, they are resistant to rips, tears, and damage from water & dirt. 

Yes, the cubes are extremely water resistant and will not be damaged by exposure to water. However it is advised to keep them dry when filled with clothes as they will not completely protect the contents from getting wet.

The zippers are extremely high quality, with reinforced teeth, designed to withstand the rigors of long term use, and to compress your luggage easily.

It’s advised not to machine wash the cubes as this can result in some fading of the colours over time, and may damage the zippers. Instead, simply wipe the cubes with a cloth & detergent to remove any surface dirt or grime.

The cubes are designed to fit neatly in a suitcase, but this will also depend on the shape of your luggage. Due to the compression, the 6 cubes can easily fit into a backpack or carry-on, and thus all suitcases & check-in luggage.

Our cubes are made under sustainable best practices, and are great for those looking to reduce their environmental impact by reducing plastic bag usage with long term, durable packing options.

The Best Packing Cubes in Australia to Transform the Way You Travel

Introducing Zoomlite’s packing cubes. These handy little organizers can transform the way you pack and travel, making it easy to keep your belongings organized and accessible. 

In this blog post, we'll discuss everything you need to know about Zoomlite's packing cubes, including why they are the best option available, the benefits, what to look for in a brand, and tips for usage. 

So, whether you're a seasoned traveler or just planning your first trip, read on to learn how packing cubes can make your journey more enjoyable and stress-free.

Why You Need the Best Packing Cubes in Australia

Packing cubes are an essential tool for any traveler looking to streamline their packing process and keep their belongings organised on the go. When considering the benefits of using packing cubes , it’s clear to see why you need them. Here are some of the reasons you won’t regret investing in these for any upcoming trip on the horizon:

Organization, Accessibility, and Space-Saving

Packing cubes offer a game-changing solution for travelers looking to keep their belongings organised and easily accessible. No more cluttered bags, no more struglging to find what you need at your destination. These handy organisers allow you to divide your items into separate compartments, making them simple to locate and access with ease.

Not only do packing cubes streamline your packing process, but they also maximise the space in your luggage. By compressing and organizing your clothes, you can fit more into your suitcase, allowing you to pack smarter, not harder.

Reduce Odors

Another advantage of packing cubes is their ability to reduce odors. Traditional packing methods can lead to musty or unpleasant smells developing in your clothes. Packing cubes provide a solution by allowing you to separate things with strong odors like dirty laundry from everything else.

Avoid Lost Items and Misplacement of Your Belongings

Packing cubes also help to prevent lost items and misplacement of your belongings. When you pack your items in a regular old suitcase, it can be easy for small items to get lost or misplaced. Packing cubes, on the other hand, allow you to keep your items separate and organised, making it easy to find what you need and keep track of your belongings when it matters most. 

With packing cubes, you can say goodbye to the frustration of lost items and misplaced belongings, and hello to a more organised and stress-free travel experience.

No More Wrinkled Clothes

Packing cubes also prevent wrinkles in your clothes. Suitcases are known for their annoying way of wrinkling and creasing clothes, making them look less than fresh when you arrive at your destination. Packing cubes protect your clothes by keeping them separate and protected, preventing wrinkles from ever forming.

Protect Your Privacy

Packing cubes also offer an added level of privacy and security, by allowing you to hide the contents of your suitcase or backpack from prying eyes. When you pack your valuables in a suitcase, they can be easily visible to anyone who opens it. Packing cubes keep your belongings separate and hidden, providing you with peace of mind and security during your trip.

What to Look for in the Best Packing Cubes

If you're planning to invest in packing cubes for your next trip, it's essential to understand what makes a packing cube truly the best for your needs. In this section, we'll take a closer look at some of the most important features to look for in the best packing cubes in Australia, and how to choose the right brand for you.

Sustainable Materials

When on the hunt for the best packing cubes, it's worth considering the materials that they are made from. Not only are sustainable packing cubes better for the environment, but they also tend to be more durable and long-lasting. 

Look for packing cubes made of eco-friendly materials like recycled nylon, organic cotton, or even bamboo. These materials not only give you peace of mind that you're doing your part for the planet, but they also ensure that your packing cubes will stay in good shape for years to come. Speaking of which…

Quality That Lasts a Lifetime

You want to make sure the cubes you buy will be reliable and durable over time. High-quality packing cubes should be made of sturdy materials that can withstand the rigors of travel. 

Look for packing cubes that are reinforced with double stitching and heavy-duty zippers, and that are water-resistant or even waterproof. These features will ensure that your packing cubes will last for years to come and won't fall apart after just a few uses. You might be surprised to learn that packing cubes from unknown brands tend to do just that.

Labels for Easy Organization

An often-overlooked feature of packing cubes is the presence of labels or identifying tags. These can be incredibly helpful in keeping your belongings organised, especially if you're someone who packs multiple cubes for a trip. 

Find packing cubes that have clear, easy-to-read labels or tags that allow you to identify the contents of each cube quickly. This will save you time and energy when unpacking and repacking, as you'll be able to grab the cube you need without having to dig through all of them.

Size and Capacity: Tailor Your Travel Needs

When choosing packing cubes, it's important to consider the size and capacity that best suit your travel needs. Different types of trips may require different sizes and capacities of packing cubes, whether it's a backpacking adventure or a family vacation.

Knowing how to use packing cubes properly is essential. Here are some tips for making the most of your packing cubes on your next trip:

• Assign a specific purpose for each cube: For example, use one cube for shirts, another for pants, and another for underwear. This will make it easier to find what you need when you need it. You can then label each cube so you know what's inside each cube without having to open them all up.
• Use compression cubes to maximise space: Compression cubes are designed to compress your clothes, allowing you to fit more into your suitcase.
• Use packing cubes for more than just clothes: Packing cubes can also be used for other items such as shoes, toiletries, and even electronic devices.
• Be mindful of the weight of your packing cubes: Pack your heaviest items in the cubes that will be at the bottom of your suitcase to avoid overloading the wheels or handle of your luggage.

• Small:  27 x 19 x 8 cms (2 pieces)
• Slim-Medium:  36 x 25 x 8 cms
• Medium:  36 x 25 x 12 cms (2 pieces)
• Large:  43 x 33 x 12 cms (2 pieces)
• Small tube: 27 x 14 x 8cms 
• Large tube: 38 x 14 x 12cms

What we love: Lightweight, variety of sizes and affordable. Build your own bundles are also available if you prefer specific sizes.

What to consider:  No compression zipper.

Available in a multi-colour or mono-colour set this 10 piece bundle gives is enough to turn you into the Marie Kondo of travellers.

Made from a tough rip-stop nylon and see-through nylon mesh, they are water resistant for those unexpected spills and have a grab webbing handles for when you need to pull it out from the furthest reaches of your backpack or suitcase.

If the see-through mesh pannelling wasn't helpful enough, each packing cubes has a #tagit label window for you to remind yourself of what's inside.

Over 1600 globetrotters have fallen in love with these cubes praising its ease of use, quality and convenience. "I was so impressed by the strength of this mesh," says one five star review.

These cubes are a game changer for me for bigger trips where I'm taking more stuff," says another.

Best packing cubes (runner-up)

Peak Design Packing Cubes, Amazon, from $55.91 (small)

• Small: 32 x 17 x 8cms (compressed), 32 x 17 x 17cms (expanded)
• Medium: 32 x 32 x 8cms (compressed), 32 x 32 x 17cms (expanded)
• Shoe pouch: 32 x 17 x 17cms

What we love: The compression zipper works similar to that on a suitcase where you can open it up for more space and then zip it back down to squeeze the air out and condense it. You can also purchase a single cube if that's all you really need.

What to consider: On top of the premium price (a small alone costs almost $60!) Peak Design stock moves quickly and you may have to waitlist your cube.

Lauded for its rip-resistant, waterproof material and expansion/compression zipper, Peak Design’s packing cubes have found its way onto Best Packing Cube lists on Pack Hacker , The Strategist and Gear Patrol .

Stylishly designed, they are self healing (i.e. bounce back after being  crushed), have top and bottom handles and are backed by a lifetime warranty.

This set of three cubes comes is features a fast tear away zip mechanism for super-quick access. They also boast dual storage zones with an adjustable divider to separate your clean and dirty clothing.

Best compression packing cubes

Samsonite Compression Packing Bags, 12 piece, Amazon, $27.18

• Pouch: 29.2 x 34.3cm (2 pieces)
• Small: 34.3 x 49.5cm (4 pieces)
• Medium: 45.7 x 57.2cm (4 pieces)
• Large: 59.7 X 80cm (2 pieces)

What we love: When compressed properly, each compression cube is airtight and waterproof.

What to consider: These are rolling compression packing cubes and only two of them have the functionality for vacuum sealing. Personally I've found that while rolling can be effective (and much easier when travelling) it won't suck quite as much air out as a vacuum compatible compression cube.

When I moved overseas the best thing I had were compression bags. They sucked all the air out of my clothes so I could pack so much more into your suitcase. This Samsonite compression packing cube kit comes with 12 cubes of various sizes (one pouch size, four carry on size, four suitcase size and two large dual size), and are completely clear so you don't have to undo all your good work to find the items you need. 

They've already massed over 2000 positive reviews on Amazon, making them some of the best compression cubes widely available.

"Totally worth the money", says one Amazon customer. "Holds a LOT of stuff!" says another. You heard them - get ready to save space!

Gonex Compression Packing Cubes, Amazon, $109.85

• Smallest: 20 x 15 x 9cm
• Small: 25 x 19 x 9cm
• Medium: 30 x 23 x 9cm
• Large: 39 x 38 x 9cm
• Slim: 33 x 10 x 9cm
• Laundry bag: 46 x 33cm

What we love: A wide variety of sizes and a compression zip, so you don't have to roll or vacuum the air out.

What to consider: Expensive compared to other options on this list.

The perfect mix of variety and quality, each cube in this set comes with compression zip to pack more into your holiday and features anti-rip mesh for durability. The breathable mesh is partially see-through to easily identify its contents and there's even a laundry bag to separate your dirty clothes.

  Over 6000 positive reviews give it an average 4.6 star rating with customers loving its quality, versatility and value.

"Good quality and lightweight. The packing cubes organised my belongings in my luggage, making it easy to find things and easy to compress into my bag. I bought more for my family. Two thumbs up!" says one Australian customer.

Best lightweight packing cubes

Osprey Ultralight Packing Cube Set, Wild Earth, from $23.95

• Small:  17 x 11 x 10cm
• Medium:  22 x 15 x 12.5cm
• Large:  32 x 20 x 17cm

What we love: The smallest of these ultralight cubes weighs just 16g while the largest ultralight packing cube is only 30g, which is fantastic news for backpackers and light travellers.

What to consider: The smallest and cheapest ultralight packing cube here costs $24, which may be out of some people's budgets.

Don't be fooled by the thin fabrics on these packing cubes, “the material is incredibly sturdy,” assured one customer in their Amazon review. “It does not rip nor the zipper break no matter how much you stuff in them… and boy can you get a lot in them!” they said.

Well, this is the Osprey brand afterall, one of the biggest names in lightweight backpacks . Naturally, you can expect their lightweight cubes to be just as effective.

Individual cubes come waterfront blue or black in small, medium or large sizes. Each ultralight packing cube has sturdy zippers and a grab handle.

Best budget packing cubes

Nineway 9 Set of Packing Cubes with Shoe Bag and Electronics Bag, Amazon, $22.99

• Medium:  32 x 24 x 12cm
• Large:  34 x 29 x 12cm
• Extra Large: 42 x 32 x 12cm

What we love: They're a bang on bargain, costing less than $3 per cube.

What to consider: None of these cubes have a compression zipper.

Tried and tested by checkout Consumer Technology Reporter Lauren Chaplin

As a chronic overpacker, packing cubes were high up on my list of things I sorely needed. But when I started looking around, I discovered some packing cube brands were charging over $50 for a set of four, which was an expense I just didn't need. Then I found this Nineway set on Amazon.

This set comes with four travel cubes of various sizes, along with a shoe bag, toiletries bag, electronics bag, a zippered bag for medications and small bits and bobs, and a drawstring bag for your dirty laundry - all for less than $25.

Each packing cube has a mesh top for freshness and visibility, and buckles to secure over your gear, helping you to save even more space. The cubes have also been designed to neatly nest inside each other, minimising storage space when not in use, which is super convenient.

I’ve taken my cubes on three separate trips now (two overseas and one domestic) and they’ve been absolute lifesavers every time, helping me to cram more into my suitcase and keep my things clean and organised.

Best budget packing cubes (runner-up)

Gautio Packing Cubes 8 Set Travel Storage Bags, Amazon, $20.99

• Largest: 33.4 x 23.1 x 5cm

What we love: We love the loads of different sizes and style cubes included here.

What to consider: The paint on the zips is said to easily chip.

Tried and tested by Escape Editorial Production Manager Alessandra Allegretti

This Gautio set comes with eight bags and costs just a smidge over $20.  "They made organising my clothing into categories far easier and kept my suitcase mess-free," says Alessandra.

Included in the set are four packing cubes of various sizes, a toiletry bag, shoe bag, drawstring laundry bag and a zipped case that she is "perfect" for make-up.

Best packing cubes with mesh panels

Lapoche Luggage Organiser 4pk, Lapoche, $99.95

• Small: 20 x 30 x 10cm (2 pieces)
• Medium: 30 x 40 x 10cm
• Large: 40 x 50 x 10cm

What we love: Available in four different colourways, choose the one to suit your aesthetic. Fun kids' designs and sizes are also available.

What to consider:  There's no compression zipper.

Mesh is one of the most popular materials for packing cubes. It's light, flexible, breathable and partially see-through allowing you to view its contents without having to undo all your fantastic folding/rolling/burrito-ing (whichever you prefer).

Practically a household name for organising your travels, Lapoche is one of the best for quality and usability. 

The Luggage Organiser set has four packing cubes each with a partial mesh panel, double zippers and a large grab carry handle. Made of durable recycled rPET material this pack has two small cubes, one medium cube and one large cube and comes with a five year warranty.

Best waterproof packing cubes

Bee Nesting Waterproof Compression Packing Cubes (4 set), Amazon, $99.99

• Lite Gear Pouch: Suitable for cards, cash, tech and toiletries
• Small (9L): 33 x 20 x 15cm
• Medium (15L): 33  x 20 x 23cm
• Large (26L): 40 x 30 x 23cm

What we love: It comes with a waterproof LITE Gear Pouch to protect your essentials such as your tech, credit cards and passport.

What to consider: Bee Nesting isn't widely available in Australia. You can only purchase it from Amazon and a few other specialty stores.

Weatherproofing your essentials while staying organised is a cinch with Be Nesting's weatherproof compression packing cubes. This set of four cubes are made of 210D waterproof ripstop nylon and 40D waterproof PU coated nylon to keep that water out. If that wasn't enough all seams are reinforced by double stitching for years of wear and tear.

The compression zippers are built tough and work a charm, with one customer saying that "even when crammed full" they could still compress it further. The double-sided storage design is also a nice touch, letting you separate your clean clothes from your wet and dirties.

Amazon customers praise its quality, remarking on how sturdy and durable the zippers and fabric are.

Best clear packing cubes

Packing Cube - Classic Clear Cell 3pk, Kathmandu, $49.98

• Small: 16.5 x 13 x 5cm
• Medium: 21 x 14.5 x 5cm
• Large: 26 x 16.5 x 5cm

What we love: They're durable and the material thick to protect your belongings.

What to consider: They're quite small and shallow (only 5cm deep) and are best suited for smaller items like toiletries and medication or for separating single outfits.

"Good quality and [the] perfect size to keep clothes tidy and organised" these three packing cubes from Kathmandu have clear front panels to take the guesswork out of unpacking.

Because we all know no matter how hard we try to remember where we put everything, holiday-brain messes things up.

The outer fabric of these three cubes is made from recycled materials which is an eco-friendly bonus. Something to keep in mind is that they are small (the largest is only 26cm long) and are rigid and are best for overnight trips or small items such as intimates or toiletries.

Best large packing cubes

Go Travel Twin Packing Cubes in Blue, Myer, $16.77

• Large: 40 x 28.8 x 5cm

What we love: Each has a full mesh panel at the top to easily identify its contents.

What to consider: It's not a compression cube and is more about organising your suitcase rather than saving space.

Large enough to lay side-by-side in your carry on, Go Travel's large packing cubes are ideal for bulky garments or shirts that you don't want to wind up wrinkled in your suitcase. They have a mesh panel, full length cover and a quick grab handle.

"Very handy, so glad I bought them, keeps everything nice and neat," says one 5-star review.

What we love: There's a five year warranty making it well worth the price. Plus, these are designed to fit perfectly into July luggage.

How we chose the best packing cubes on this list

Our team of experienced writers, travellers and packers spend hours researching the best packing cubes. We find out what factors make a good packing cube by putting our packing skills to the test, reviewing test results and analysing thousands of customer reviews.

Personally, I'm a huge fan of compression packing bags, particularly on long backpacking trips where you need to make the space work for you. I also love packing cubes or bags that you can throw all my dirty laundry in, and then dump them straight into the washing machine when I get home.

How to choose the best packing cubes for you

The concept behind packing cubes is simple - they're cubes or cells to better organise your luggage. But features can vary greatly. Ideally when shopping for the right packing cube for you, you'll want to consider size, material, compression and style.

I've included sizes for each of the packing cubes on this list because when it comes to packing cubes, size really does matter. Firstly, you'll want packing cubes that work nicely with your suitcase. Too many large cubes and your Tetris falls apart. A good variety is best and packing cubes with a more flexible material will be more forgiving to those of us who aren't Tetris masters.

Secondly, size matters for what you're packing. You don't want to attempt to squeeze a pair of jeans into a small packing cube, for example. Consider what your outfits look like or pile them in front of you for a visual aid of how many small, medium and large cubes you may require.

Most packing cubes are made from a lightweight nylon that is durable and flexible. Some packing cubes are made from a thicker plastic which is waterproof but is much more rigid, making it more suitable for a hardcase rather than backpack or duffle bag.

Compression

Compression packing cubes work a bit like that expander on your suitcase. You open it up to a maximum size to pack as much as you can in. Then, you sit on it (or in this case, push it down) and use the compression zippers to squeeze it all back to its original size.

By utilising compressible packing cubes you'll be saving space however having a double zipper is more expensive as it requires more workmanship.

Packing cube style

On top of small, medium and large packing cubes, you'll discover inventive sizes as shapes for different functions. Some sets include a clothing folder for dress shirts, shoe bag for your footwear, laundry bag for your dirty clothes, fabric pouch for personal items, and waterproof toiletry bag.

Are packing cubes worth it?

Packing cubes can turn a messy suitcase into an organised dream. If you're a chronic overpacker or the sort of person to throw your clothes into your luggage only to find yourself unpacking  everything  just to find that one shirt or pair of underwear, packing cubes can help give you enough space for everything you need while making finding that perfect outfit easier.

That said, if you're already fairly organised and have a good system running, you may find packing cubes don't add as much benefit.

How do I pack efficiently using packing cubes?

As a packing cube fiend, I recommend either packing your items in groups or in outfits.

In groups:  Put all your intimates into a small cube or medium slim cube, all your t-shirts and shorts in a roomy medium cube, and all your dresses and shirts into a large packing cube. Use a separate shoe bag for your footwear.

In outfits:  If you're planning to wear specific outfits, I roll the pieces up together (burrito-style to reduce wrinkles) and pop them into individual packing cubes from there.

As for unpacking your travel cubes?  Travel writer Amanda Woods  says "When I settle into a room I simply put the cells into drawers, unzip the top and voila! Neatly packed drawers with my things. When it's time to move on it takes mere seconds to zip up and go."

Do packing cubes help prevent wrinkles in clothing?

A few brands of packing cubes such as the Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter say they minimise wrinkles, and while they can, a lot of it comes down to the way you pack.

Loose clothes that are thrown into your case tumble around with movement and develop wrinkles.

Organising them into packing cubes keep them in place to prevent this.

By rolling your clothes (as opposed to folding) this can also reduce wrinkles. Avoiding overpacking to give your clothes room to breathe is another great way to prevent wrinkles.

What is the difference between packing cubes and compression cubes?

The main difference between a standard packing cube and a compression packing cube is that compression cubes have a second zip to squish everything down into a smaller size. 

While compression packing cubes are more space-saving, many reviews say they increase wrinkling. Compression cubes are generally more expensive.

If you want a cheaper option, plastic compression bags ( like the Samsonite travel bags mentioned above ), remove air either by sucking it out with a vacuum cleaner or rolling it out. This style of compression cubes seal with a plastic ziplock to keep the air from seeping out.

Do packing cubes make luggage heavier?

Packing cubes are designed to be lightweight, with some of the lightest like the Osprey Packs Ultralight cubes which weigh as little as 16 grams. Hardly a deal-breaker.

However, you might find that an ability to compress more may cause you to pack more (oops!) which is where your luggage might start to tip the scales.

How many packing cubes do I need and what size is best?

If you are new to packing cubes and cells, there are lots of brands that sets with different sizes.

Generally, you will need larger ones for bulkier items like jeans, jumpers and t-shirts and smaller ones for socks and underwear or beach wear.

There are also packing cubes made especially for shoes and sets that include a laundry bag for your dirty items.

A good way to determine the number of packing cubes you might need is to organise your luggage into separate piles. This way you can see how many as well as the sizes that work for you.

From breezy mesh styles to structured options and Amazon gems, the best packing cubes for travel make prepping for your next trip a breeze. Below are the best packing cube sets we recommend.

Bagsmart's compression packing cube set is not only affordable but also high-quality and durable. When it came time to pack our own suitcases, we opted for these. The nylon keeps a soft structure that makes the most of your available packing space while holding the overall shape. We found the medium-size bags to be particularly useful for the bulk of our clothes ranging from tees to trousers and swim cover-ups.

Editor's Review

How satisfying is this to look at? We appreciated the unwavering structure and versatile sizes of these Bagsmart packing cubes.

Calpak's packing cube set is made from high-quality, durable nylon and mesh materials that hold their soft structure when testing. We like that you can personalize each bag—making these ideal for families who need to keep things organized and perhaps separate for different members. This set of five packing cubes also includes a water-resistant pouch to protect your most delicate belongings.

Calpak's softly structured packing cubes allow you to see the inside components while optimizing space.

Two of Calpak's larger cubes are enough to hold a weekend's worth of outfits while making the most of your storage space.

Crafted from a premium nylon mesh, Away's packing cubes are unique from the others that we tested in that they lie completely flat when empty. The material is silky and lightweight but also offers the durability you'd expect from the trusted travel brand. They're already spacious but will effortlessly expand as you fill them.

Whether you're organizing your favorite weekender or carry-on suitcase, Away's packing cubes will keep your space optimized for maximum space.

Away's soft mesh packing cubes are surprisingly spacious and can expand while holding a weekend or week's worth of clothes.

Quince's packing cube set offers the greatest range in terms of the different size offerings. The two larger cubes are ideal for packing ready-to-wear like tops, pants, and sweaters, while the smaller options help bathing suits, socks, and underwear. These also feature a second zipped compression layer to take your space optimization to the next level.

Quince's recycled nylon cubes come in an array of sizes that you can rearrange for a personalized packing experience.

Paravel has graced Oprah's Favorite Things list over the years—including its fold-up backpack in 2022 that can be easily stored in your luggage. The beloved travel brand's packing cubes are made from the same sturdy, water-resistant nylon that comes from upcycled water bottles. The made-t0-fit system ensures that each of the four packing cubes fits perfectly inside your carry-on luggage.
