Love a holiday! From choosing our next destination to the planning to experiencing new cultures and food - this all adds to the excitement of travelling!

Whether you are a well-seasoned or occasional traveller and your packing for the day, an overnight stay or for an overseas trip, these easy packing hacks show you the most efficient and best way to pack a suitcase or carry-on for the fun times ahead.   

MAKE A LIST & CHECK IT TWICE

Packing list for travelMaking a list will help you to see everything and not forget anything. One-to-two weeks out from your travels, make a list of all the items you 'think' you will need for your travels.   

A few days before you're set to travel, organise your belongings into piles for clothing (shirts, pants, dresses, shoes), accessories (ties, belts, scarves),  electronics (tablet, laptop, charging cords, docks), toiletries (toothbrush/paste, brushes, make-up), and any miscellaneous items. Set your piles out either on the bedroom floor, the spare bedroom, the lounge, or a nook where free space is available. This way, you'll see everything you are taking with you on your trip.

Now, remove at least three-to-five items you think you may need or 'just in case I need it' items, so you don’t overpack, or worse, you're bags are overweight at check-in. If you do need an item, you can always buy it at your destination.

PRO TIP | Remember to pack what you need - no more, no less and take inventory of the remaining items and check it twice

TO ROLL OR TO FOLD?

Rolled and folded clothing in suitcaseTo roll or fold? This is the question! Using a bit of each packing technique is the most efficient way to pack your suitcase. ROLL softer garments (underwear, T-shirts, jeans, cotton garments, and knitwear). FOLD stiffer garments like jackets, blazers, dressy pants and skirts should be carefully folded or laid flat.

If you need more space in your suitcase, then roll your clothes. Make sure that the item is as flat as possible before you roll and that you do not roll in any wrinkles. You can also place these your clothing and items into cotton packing cells for added protection and better organisation.

If you have space in your suitcase or overnight bag, you can fold your clothes. To minimise wrinkles, fold your clothing along the garment's natural seam line.

PRO TIP | If you enjoy being organised (and want to save on ironing time), add acid-free tissue paper, or a cotton shirt between your garments' to prevent wrinkles.

Both techniques work. To pack for your destination, learn what best suits your needs and your luggage as you may find yourself altering between rolling and folding your items to maximize space and minimise wrinkles. 

- LAYER YOUR SUITCASE -

BOTTOM LAYER | HEAVY ITEMS

Hair straightener and hair dryerStart by placing heavy or large items closest to the bottom of your suitcase or bag (the end with the wheels). Items with a hard case or strong structure should also be packed in the bottom layer as this helps create a solid base for your belongings you're about to layer on top. Items include your hairdryer, handbags, shoes, boots and jeans.

PRO TIP | Having a well-supported and solid base minimises the damage of your items while in transit.

MIDDLE LAYER | LIGHT ITEMS

Tidy and organised packed suitcase

The middle layer is generally reserved for your clothing, underwear, swimwear, kids clothes, and miscellaneous items. It's also prime space for your breakables, soft items, large items and souvenirs as this is where your belongings will be most-supported during transit.

| The middle layer essentially creates a 'buffer' or 'cushioning' for support | 

 

 

TOP LAYER | LIGHTEST ITEMS

White cashmere scarf

The top layer is ideal for your delicate and light pieces including scarves, cashmere and items you want to reach for quickly when you land. The top layer is also where you would pack your dresses, suits, pants, jackets, coats, business or event attire, your wedding dress (if it's not with your carry-on). These pieces should be packed in separate Garment Bags for extra protection to avoid any stains, dirt, dust, damage or transit crush.  

 

PACKING CELLS ARE A MUST FOR ANY TRAVELLER

Packing cells and packing cubes are super popular and are a lifesaver for any traveller.

 

Packing Cells | 100% Cotton
Apart from rolling or folding your travel items, packing cells also help segment your suitcase and better organise your clothes, underwear, shoes, accessories and miscellaneous items. You can use a mix of all these packing hacks.

 

These space-saving bags for travel are available in many variations, including mesh, polyester, nylon and cotton fabrics. These nifty bags are so practical that you can take them from your suitcase to hotel drawers in minutes. Everything you need is visible and in arm's reach, so you're not rummaging through your suitcase to find something, saving time.

For example, no one wants dull grey or black packing cells or cubes. Add a pop of colour with Kazzi Kovers 100% cotton green packing cells for your shirts and shorts and the black and white chevron print bag for your underwear. That way, you'll know what is in the bag at a glance, and your items will be protected by breathable, eco-friendly fabulous cotton, with full-zip closure for added peace of mind.

WEIGH YOUR LUGGAGE

 

Digital weight scale
Invest in a portable luggage scale and make sure you weigh your bags 12 - 24 hours before you board the plane. This way, you'll know how close you are to the weight limit, and you'll have time to remove any unnecessary items. If you're close to limit, consider wearing some of the heavier or bulky items on the plane.  

DELICATES AND LINGERIE WASH BAGS

Delicates Wash Bags are also a great way to sort and keep your clean underwear and clothes from your dirty ones when travelling. Whether you're handwashing during your travels, using a laundry mat or hotel service, use quality wash bags to keep your items clean and to minimise lost articles.
