i tend to combo. i use packing cubes a lot for various things, so that changes it up. -- (edited) - Andie Jul 28, 06:23
Don't pack anything and just buy all new stuff when you get there - makes traveling a breeze -- nm - decline Jul 28, 06:06
If it's a long trip, rolled. It's definitely most efficient space-wise I think (other than using those vac-bags like JenBro mentioned). -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 06:06
folded on its end, kon mari style. -- nm - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 28, 06:01
I learned a cool trick - get giant zip lock bags and put clothing into them separately, remove all air, zip closed and pack into the bag. It not only - JenBro Jul 28, 05:26
Do you iron your clothes when you get to the hotel? -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 05:12
about 5 years ago on a trip to italy, 30 minutes before leaving, I crammed 50% of the clean laundry into my suitcase and hoped for the best. - loosilu Jul 28, 04:37 1

I get more stuff in my suitcase by rolling my clothes. -- nm - Diva Jul 28, 03:21 3
- I get *way* more stuff in by rolling, but I think I may try Andie's packing cubes for the next trip. -- nm - Judge Bane Jul 28, 06:42 2
  - it mostly keeps stuff you only need for a specific purpose out of the way of general stuff. Or if you are in a time crunch for some reason everything -- (edited) - Andie Jul 28, 06:46 1
    - Yeah, I like to be organized, so it would help me, I think. -- nm - Judge Bane Jul 28, 06:57
I mostly fold. in theory your rolled clothes might be able to pack tighter without wrinkling much, but it's such a marginal gain. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 01:49
in theory, yes. There are always a few exceptions. and I only pack men stuff. -- nm* - Peglegpete Jul 28, 00:14 3
- No Yes! Or! -- nm - Max Jul 28, 00:15 2
  - depends on what you are packing and what you are packing it in....roll up suits? a wedding dress? tshirts and swimsuits, socks and jeans? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 28, 00:21 1
    - everything should be stuffed in like a sleeping bag. especially suits. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 01:48
