Traveling can be stressful, but if you are well-prepared, you can really help bring that blood pressure back into balance and harmony. Therefore, one of the ways to reduce those travel cortisol levels is to pack very well. So then, today we are going to share the best way to pack a suitcase to maximize space, along with a few quick tips!
First of all, it is time to discuss one of the hot topics when it comes to packing. Whether to fold or to roll up your clothing before placing it into your suitcase. Some people choose to fold and others become professional rollers. Which method is the best?
Well, it is simple science. While folding is extremely easy for many jet-setting packers; however, best way to maximize space is to roll up your the clothes you wish to carry. Why?
Rolling up your fab clothing squeezes air from between folds. So instead of “bloated” space; you actually get to save space. However, there is another great reason to become roller instead of a folder.
You may think that neatly folding your clothes and tucking them safely away into your suitcase will allow them to STAY nice and neat. Yet, that isn’t always the case. It’s been found that rolling your fashions (if done right); can ensure less wrinkling once you land.

What are some other pointers to keep in mind when packing? Of course! Try these:
5-4-3-2-1 Method: This option helps travelers streamline what they are taking with them. Aim to limit yourself to just five sets of socks as well as underwear, four tops, three bottoms, two pairs of shoes and one hat. You can adjust these limits as wish and to coincide with different seasons.
Be Top Heavy: Did you know… that skirts and pants take up more room in your travel bag or case than tops? Therefore, to maximize space utilize the 3:1 ratio. This means for every bottom you pack, pack 3 shirts to go with it. This will instantly increase how many outfit options you have without having to stuff your travel case or bag.
Stuff It!: Do you plan on packing shoes besides the ones you will be wearing on your flight? Well, if you are, use that space too! Try rolling up and stuffing shoes with small T-shirts, socks, any toiletries as well as underwear. Doing this will easily allow you to save some valuable space.
This is Heavy Doc…: Next time you are packing for a trip, let Marty Mcfly be your guide. Remember to always pack from your heaviest items to your lightest. Meaning, place your heaviest items at the bottom of your travel bag or case, and place lighter items on top until you get to your lightest.
Have a great time!
