Packing Cubes FAQs
What are packing cubes?
Packing cubes are lightweight, zippered bags or pouches that help you stay organised when you are travelling. They make it super easy to transform your luggage from a disorganised mess into a neatly organised one that sparks joy. They help to keep clothes compressed (saving you space), as well as saving you time trying to find particular items, as everything has its place.
They are not necessarily cube shaped, coming in a variety of shapes and sizes. Essentially, they are a packing system for organising your suitcase. They are also known as packing cells, compression cubes or travel organisers.
Do packing cubes really help?
Whether you’re a frequent traveller, the casual holiday traveller or a backpacker, there are many ways that packing cubes will make your travels easier.
- Packing cubes will save you space
- They will make packing and unpacking easier
- They will keep your packing sorted and organised

How do you use packing cubes?
- Using packing cubes is quite straightforward. Think of packing cubes like the drawers in your wardrobe.
- Simply group and sort your packing according to your preference.
- Place items in appropriate size cubes, zip them closed and place the cubes inside your luggage.
- It's really that easy.
What size packing cubes do I need?
This is an important question and a difficult one to answer. Some people travel very light and can fit two weeks’ worth of clothes in a couple of small cubes. For the rest of us, the answer will vary depending on where you’re going and how long you’re going for. Clothes for a week at the beach will require less cubes than a week in the snow.
Our 3 piece compression set or 4 piece starter set is a good way to experience packing cubes and get a feel for the sizes and their capacity. The 4 piece set will suit most people for a long weekend (3-4 days worth of clothes). We have also created bundles to cover you for longer. Most larger suitcases (70-80cm) will fit our 10 piece bundle, and should cover one person for a couple of weeks. You may even have a few cubes left over for dirty laundry or keeping a change of clothes in your carry-on.
How many packing cubes do I need?
As with the question above about what size packing cubes are needed, the number of packing cubes you need will also depend on how you pack, where you’re going and how long for. We have put together this handy guide showing how many packing cubes will fit into different suitcase sizes.
