The Benefits of Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are nothing new in the travel world, but those who haven’t already jumped on the bandwagon have no excuses not to make their packing process more organized and more visually friendly. Here are just a few benefits of these packing wonders.

Organization

Packing cubes come in all shapes, sizes and colors, which makes it easy to identify what is what when you’re rifling through your luggage. You can buy dedicated shoe bags, toiletry bags and bags just for sweaters, and often you can buy complete sets of cubes that are all different shapes so you know that when you pull out the medium-sized rectangular cube, you’re pulling out your t-shirts.

Breathability

Some packing cubes feature mesh on one side, which not only makes it easy to see the contents if you have cubes of the same size, but also lets your clothes breathe and air out. And if you need one without mesh to conceal your dirty laundry, there are cubes for that, too.

Flexible Packing

Thanks to the flexible material of most packing cubes, they can bend and fit into luggage however necessary. If one cube isn’t full, you can simply fold over the non-packed part to create space for another cube.
