Seasoned travellers have revealed a game-changing packing technique that promises to transform your holiday prep: rolling clothes instead of folding them.
This surprisingly effective method not only saves precious luggage space but also helps prevent unsightly creases in your garments. Forget struggling to zip overstuffed suitcases or arriving with crumpled outfits - this clever approach could be your ticket to stress-free packing.
Why Rolling Beats Folding
The science behind this hack is simple yet brilliant:
- Rolled clothes take up less space than folded ones
- The technique naturally minimises creases during transit
- It allows for better visibility of all packed items
- You can fit more into your suitcase without overpacking
How to Master the Art of Rolling
Follow these easy steps for perfect packing every time:
- Lay each garment flat on a hard surface
- Smooth out any existing wrinkles
- Fold sleeves or pant legs inward if needed
- Roll tightly from one end to the other
- Pack rolled items vertically in your suitcase
Bonus Packing Pro Tips
Combine rolling with these expert suggestions for ultimate packing efficiency:
Sock stuffing: Place rolled socks inside shoes to maintain their shape while saving space.
Layer strategically: Start with heavier rolled items at the bottom and progress to lighter ones on top.
Use packing cubes: These organisers work brilliantly with rolled clothes for compartmentalised packing.
Next time you're preparing for a trip, ditch the traditional folding method and give rolling a try. Your suitcase (and your clothes) will thank you!
