The Best Travel Packing Cubes
Raise your hand, if your luggage goes from being organized at the start of a trip, to looking like a crumpled mess, in 2 days flat. Despite my best efforts, this is my typical pattern, every time I go on vacation.
Trying to fit things back like a jigsaw puzzle, is difficult when everything in my luggage is a different shape. It didn’t occur to me, until recently, how to fix this problem.
By chance, I bought a luggage cube, and quickly realized how genius they are. Why didn’t anyone tell me? Many of my friends travel, but none had been using a luggage cube.
Organizing your belongings in cubes, not only makes things easy to find, but keeps everything wrinkle-free. I used to organize with ziplocs (still do), but they were too flat and small to be used with jeans and sweaters.
And once you buy luggage cubes (or organizers), they will last you for years. I still have my first one, 3 years later and it looks the same as the day I bought it.
They work especially well, if you are selected for extra security searches by airport security. The cubes are easy to search through and there is less embarassment from having your undergarments searched through. I find that airport security are able to search my bag quicker, due to my excellent organizing skills.
To get a good idea of how much you can pack, here’s a rough guide for sizes S, M, and L. (Note: sizes vary by brand).
Small Cube (6 x 10 in) – 3 shirts, rolled up or one week’s worth of undergarments.
Medium Cube (8 x 10 in) – 2 light sweaters and a dress or 5 t-shirts and 2 pairs of jeans
Large Cube (11 x 14 in) – 3 shirts, 3 pants, 2 dresses or 2 sweaters, 1 jacket
Here are a few luggage cubes to get you organized:

Most packing cubes, are one size only. However, this cube gives you the option of expanding it, making it easy to pack more clothing. You can either expand it before your trip, or once you get there.
I find it good for storing socks, and then later expanding it to add souvenirs I’ve purchased, once I’m on vacation. I always leave about 20% of extra space in my luggage anyway, for any souvenirs or food I bring back.
Always under pack your luggage. You’ll want to have enough space for souvenirs.
This organizer is a small size and is 6 x 6 x 2 inches. It expands from 2 inches in height to 5 inches.
The breathable mesh panel on top, makes it easy to find what you’re looking for.
The material is made of nylon and feels sturdy, yet light. It’s a great choice, if you just need one cube, or are trying one out for the first time.

This is another good choice, if you want to bring one packing cube in your luggage. They come in a variety of sizes, but the one pictured is the Large. It fits sweaters, jackets and anything thicker in your wardrobe.
The dimensions are: 17.5 x 12.75 x 3.25 in.

Compared to most packing cubes, this one is more rigid. It doesn’t make a huge difference to me, but if you want a more rigid structure this one is good.

I am a fan of expandable packing cubes and in this set, you get one medium and one large. They are harder to find than the normal versions, but worth it.
The dimensions:
Medium: 8.5in x 11in x 2in(5in expanded)
Large: 12in x 14.5in x 2in(5in expanded)
The nylon material is well made and the mesh screen allows you to find your items quickly.
Because of its loose shape, there is no need to squeeze your clothes into the cube. I find that the less rigid a cube is, the easier it is to pack.
Both packing cubes fit easily into my carry-on luggage.

If you like everything to have its place, this set of four packing cubes fills that need to be organized. It comes with four assorted sized, so you can really fine tune how you organize your luggage.
The four sizes included in this set are:
Small: 11 x 6.75 x 4 inches
Medium: 13.75 x 9.5 x 4 inches
Large: 13.75 x 12.75 x 4 inches
Extra Large: 17.5 x 12.75 x 4 inches
The design is very sturdy and features double-stitching, which reinforces the structure of each packing cube. You won’t have to worry about flimsy cubes that will disintegrate over time.
Adding to the durable stitching, the packing organizers are made of water-resistant nylon that feels durable.
As a bonus, this set also comes with a laundry bag to keep your dirty clothes separated from your clean clothing. I usually use a large Ziploc for this, but this is much better.
So many organizer sets come in standard black or grey, but this set comes in eight colors to choose from. From pink to navy, you’re sure to find a color you like.
Overall, I think this set is an incredible value for the quality that you are getting.
P.S. This makeup bag is pretty and practical.
