Packing Cubes

Three things determine which cubes suit you best: how they compress, what they're made from, and whether a set or individual cubes fits the way you travel.

Compression vs. Standard Packing Cubes

Standard cubes organise your clothes into tidy rectangular blocks. Compression cubes go further: a second external zip presses down on the contents and expels trapped air through the fabric weave, reducing clothing bulk by up to 50% compared to traditional packing. That's enough to fit an extra outfit or a pair of shoes into a suitcase that felt full. Rolling clothes before loading them into compression cubes helps distribute pressure evenly and keeps creases manageable. Compression is most effective for bulky, air-filled items such as sweaters, puffer jackets, and jeans; it reduces volume but not weight.

Sets vs. Individual Cubes: What Works Best for Your Trip?

A typical 3-piece set includes one large, one medium, and one small cube, covering most clothing categories in one purchase. Our Set of 4 includes one large, one medium, and two small cubes, making it well suited to 2-to-4-day trips. The Set of 6 adds an extra-large and a second medium, giving you the range to separate clothing types across a one-to-two week trip. If you're packing for two people sharing one suitcase, the Set of 6 lets each person claim their own cubes.

For quick reference, here are the dimensions across both sets:

• Small - 17.5 x 16.5 x 10 cm - best for undergarments, socks
• Medium - 33 x 17.5 x 10 cm - best for folded t-shirts, shorts
• Large - 24.5 x 33 x 10 cm - best for trousers, knitwear
• Extra-large (Set of 6 only) - 43 x 33 x 12 cm - best for jackets, a full week of tops

Individual cubes let you build a system around your specific luggage dimensions or replace a single damaged piece without buying a full set. They also make it easy to organise by activity, by outfit, or by person when travelling with others.

The Benefits of Travelling with Packing Cubes

Built to withstand hundreds of trips, our cubes are a long-term investment in travelling more smoothly. The benefits go beyond tidy packing.

Stay Organised Throughout Your Trip

Mesh panels let you identify contents at a glance without opening each cube. The structured form keeps clothes in their folded or rolled state during transit, minimising shifting and reducing creases. For multi-destination trips, dedicating a separate cube to each location streamlines access and means you never have to unpack everything at every stop. An "arrival cube" pre-packed with your first day's outfit and immediate toiletries is a simple trick that saves real time on check-in day.

Maximise Suitcase Space

Standard packing cubes improve efficient use of luggage volume by 15 to 20 percent by eliminating the dead space that loose clothes create. Our compression packing cubes with dual-zipper system pushes that further, shrinking a bundle's volume by up to 50%. Fill cubes to around 80% capacity before closing the compression zip for the best results. Overpacking may prevent the zipper from closing.
