Frequently Asked Questions

Why should you use packing cubes for travel?

The best travel packing cubes are designed to help you keep your clothing and accessories organized while protecting them during travel, preventing wrinkles and dirty laundry from affecting your clean clothes. Packing cubes also compress your clothing, allowing you to pack more within the same suitcase.

What is the difference between packing cubes and compression cubes?

All compression cubes are packing cubes, but not all packing cubes are considered compression cubes. A compression packing cube offers greater compression than a traditional packing cube because it has an additional zipper that is used to compress the air out of your clothes. However, a traditional packing cube is designed more for organization and separating items.

How do I choose the right size packing cubes for my luggage?

The right size packing cubes for your luggage largely depends on the size of your luggage or carry-on, how much you’re packing, and the types of items you’re bringing. For instance, if you have a lot of large, bulky items, you might choose to pack primarily with large packing cubes. On the other hand, the best packing cubes for carry-ons may be smaller.

Meanwhile, packing cube sets with various sizes are ideal for most situations because they can help you separate hoodies and sweaters from smaller items like socks and t-shirts.

What features should I look for in the best packing cubes?

The best packing cubes offer some level of compression to help you pack more items in your suitcase or carry-on. The fabric used to create the packing cubes should also be lightweight and breathable, and your cubes should not make your luggage much heavier. In addition, you might look for features that protect your items from humidity or moisture.

Eagle Creek’s packing cubes are designed to help you pack smarter, stay organized, and fit more in your suitcase. Whether you’re traveling the world or going on vacation, we offer the best packing cubes for carry-on and checked luggage. Shop our collection today.
