Whether you’re going on vacation or attending a business conference, your suitcase is one of the most important things you’ll bring.

Your suitcase is essentially a small version of your life when you’re traveling. Figuring out what to pack can be difficult enough, but actually packing a suitcase is an entirely different matter.

What’s the best way to store your toiletries? Is it better to roll items or to fold them neatly? Can you really fit everything in one suitcase?

You’ve come to the right place if you want to know how to pack a suitcase. Read on for our short but helpful guide on how to properly pack a suitcase.

Utilize Pockets

If you want to pack your suitcase efficiently be sure to take advantage of all of your pockets.

Pockets that are located inside of your suitcase are a great place to store toiletries and breakable items. You’ll know where they’re at if you’re in a hurry, and they’ll be protected from damage by surrounding clothing.

If you have extra clothes like underwear, undershirts, or pajamas, considering storing them in outside pockets. You never know how the people managing luggage storage are going to handle your bags. Keeping soft items that you don’t mind having a few wrinkles in outside pockets can add a little extra protection for fragile items and save your space.

Pack Shoes First

Your shoes are going to be one of the trickiest items to pack. They’re often one of the bulkiest clothing items you’ll need, you won’t want to get their well-worn soles on your clean clothes, and they aren’t in a simple shape like a square or circle.

If you want to save yourself a headache when you’re packing, be sure to stow away your shoes first. Wrap them in a plastic bag to ensure that you don’t accidentally get any dirt or grime on your clean clothes.

Do you need a different pair of shoes as soon as you reach your destination? If so, try to place your shoes in the corner of your suitcase so you can easily open it and get what you need.

Roll, Don’t Fold

You’re used to folding your clothes neatly when you’re at home, but when you’re packing a suitcase it’s best to use a different method.

Tightly rolling your clothes up can give you extra space in your suitcase. If you take special care with rolling and packing, it’s possible to store clothes without having to worry about wrinkling them.

Get Creative

Sometimes it can seem like it’s impossible to fit everything in your suitcase. If you’ve followed this guide and still need room to pack, it’s time to think outside of the box.

Are you going somewhere in the winter? Instead of packing your heavy winter coat and snow boots, consider wearing them when you travel.

This is a great time to take advantage of carry-ons and purses. If your bags are large enough you can easily fit a few extra shirts or even a pair of shoes.

Know How to Pack a Suitcase, Know How to Travel

Once you know how to pack a suitcase, you’re ready to go on your next adventure. As long as you maximize your space and think about different ways to store items, you’ll have an expertly packed suitcase.
