How to pack a suitcase properly

Packing a suitcase is a task that can be easy or difficult depending on the efficiency of the method used. You could easily complicate it by being impatient and not taking the time to carry out the process in a systematic manner.

If you're the type of the person who gets overwhelmed when there seems to be so many items to pack and not enough space to fit them in, the following tips may be helpful for you.


1)Make a List: Plan out all the items that you want to take with you. Make it exhaustive at first, and then narrow it down based on necessity.


2)Fold or roll?: A common question that many have when packing is whether to fold your clothes or simply roll them up. In actuality, the best way to carry this out is to have a balance of both. Casual clothes should be rolled, whereas those which are more formal should be folded.


3)When it comes to which kind of clothing to pack, wrinkle resistant clothes are the way to go. It’s also good to pack versatile clothing which could maybe be used on multiple occasions in order to save space.


4)Use all the space in the bag: This means utilizing the side zips as well as corners of bags. Items like socks, shoes or other smaller items can be stored in these areas of the bag. Valuable items like electronics can be layered with the clothes.


5)If you are transporting more fragile items, it is always good to take utmost precaution and keep them either on your person, or placed in a container and in turn place it carefully into the bag.


Packing is an activity that a lot of people dislike the most about traveling, but with the right amount of insight, it can be a task accomplished in a quick, and effortless manner.
