Compression Packing Cubes

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Compression cubes will  always have 2 zips, can also be used as standard cubes, by using only one zip
  • To pack this type of cube, fold everything in half and if necessary  half again, this gives you a flat item and takes no time at all
  • If you really enjoy packing and have the time, then use my folding for a shelf method…..see my YouTube tutorial Folding Basics
  • Be careful, using the folding technique in a compression cube will crease you clothes more than if you fold them flat
  • Use both zips to make your cube a whole lot flatter
  • Once compressed using the flat folding method, they will stack one on top of the other

      • Start by using my folding tutorials available on my YouTube Channel 
      • If you already use this folding method at home, then just take  your clothes straight from your drawers and put them straight into your cube
      • My folding method works for all sizes
      • If you find you have room on top of your folded clothes, then you could lay a  flat folded shirt on top of them  (don’t forget the collar needs support from it’s fold, so a flat fold is best). You could also add another layer of small items such as underwear, costumes or bikinis
      • Pack the cubes side by side in your suitcase, you probably won’t have any room to double stack as with the compression cubes
      • The beauty of packing in standard cubes is when you get to your destination, just un zip, lift out of your suitcase, pop your lid underneath  and place in a drawer or on a shelf..done!
      •  When coming  home, just rearrange your clean from dirty and unpack in the same way
