Categorize Your Packing Cubes
Give each packing cube a category so you can easily find what you’re looking for.
Categories could include tops, bottoms, shoes, undergarments, accessories, and toiletries.
Using packing cubes also allows you to edit down what you truly need to bring with you. Once you have your items separated by category, place them in their assigned packing
cubes.
If you’re wondering how to use packing cubes when traveling with little kids, give each
child their own cube. Giving each child a different color packing cube will help everyone easily find their belongings.
Use Differently Sized Cubes
Since all your belongings are different sizes, you’ll want to get different size packing cubes to help make the packing process easier. Typically, you can fit several pairs of
undergarments in small cubes and 6-8 bottoms, up to 10 shirts, or 3 bulky sweaters or
sweatshirts in large cubes.
Strategize How You Stack
After your items are inside each cube, you're ready to arrange them inside your suitcase. Pack the cubes into your bag from largest to smallest, starting with the widest packing cube and placing it in the bottom of your bag or suitcase. Fit any smaller packing cubes around it and on top of it so you have better visibility for each cube.
With a little bit of reorganizing and shuffling, they should fit neatly within your suitcase. Just make sure the zipper on the packing cubes is always upright so you can easily access your cubes and see all your items at once when you arrive at your destination.
