4 Tips To Get Everything Into The Suitcase

Is it a real headache for you to pack your suitcase for your next trip? With these simple tips you can make the most of the space and store all your belongings in an orderly manner.

1. Select what you need to store in the suitcase

Before proceeding to pack your suitcase, you need to make an inventory and select the clothes you really need according to the place you are going to travel, season and type of accommodation.

For example, if you are traveling in the summer and your accommodation is going to be an apartment or villa with a washer and dryer, the amount of clothes you need to bring can be considerably reduced. It is important that you inform yourself well about the place where you are going to stay, since some hotels offer laundry service to their guests. In this way, you do not need to bring a change of clothes for each day of your trip.

Try to choose clothes that do not take a long time to dry and that can look good without ironing, so you will not only save space but also time when you are enjoying your vacation.

If you are going to travel in winter, it is essential that you choose the coats you are going to wear very well, since they usually take up much more space. It is also important that you plan in advance the itinerary that you are going to follow during the trip, in this way you can choose the most suitable garments for each occasion.

2. Use the pillboxes

Pillboxes are one of the most useful objects that you can use to plan your luggage. Carrying all your medicines in a carefully identified pillbox will save you incredible space.

Another wonderful feature of pillboxes is that you can use them to keep small jewels that you want to take with you on your trip neatly and safely. In addition, because it is a small, flat object with rectangular or square shapes, it is very easy to place it in any corner or drawer of the suitcase.

3. Save space in your suitcase

Another very practical way you can save space is by storing your socks inside your shoes. To store the shoes inside the suitcase, wrap them individually in a plastic bag and fill in the gaps or empty spaces in it with each pair.

Another interesting option that you can use, especially if it is small shoes, is to keep them together inside a bathing cap, so they will be much more compact and protect your clothes from dirt.

Most people tend to fold all their clothes carefully before packing them, but there seems to be a method that saves a lot more space. It involves wrapping each garment to form a roll as if it were a plane, then placing a rubber band at each end and that’s it.

If you are more conservative and prefer to wear your clothes perfectly folded, you can place a belt in the center of the neck of the dress shirts, in this way you will obtain double benefits: first, the shirt collar will not deform and second, you will save valuable space to store your belt.

4. Less is more

All those little sample containers that you have been given take on a new meaning when you go on a trip. Depending on the amount of time you are at your destination, you can choose to store creams, shampoo, conditioners, perfumes, and more in those little jars.

There are small toothpastes and brushes specially designed for the comfort of travelers. Depending on where you are going to travel, you can also choose to buy these essential items on the spot, such as shaving cream, body lotion, razors and more.

Another very important tip is that you be practical and realistic, take those clothes and objects with which you really feel comfortable and not those that have been in your closet for a long time and you never use them. You should always choose what you really like and feel comfortable with, that is one of the most important keys not only to save space but also so that you can fully enjoy your vacation.
