Packing a suitcase often becomes a stress factor, especially under time pressure. To ensure you don't miss anything on vacation, you have to think of everything important from the start.
Is everything ready? With the right suitcase packing, everything stands or falls, because with good organization you can also fit more inside. Want to avoid wrinkled clothes? Then the right folding technique will help you. Learn in this article which ones there are and with which technique you can store your clothes wrinkle-free. To benefit from this, you have to pay attention to which items you store on which side of the suitcase. Not only will your clothes thank you by not getting pressure creases, but you also support the stability of the suitcase.
But how do you pack your suitcase correctly? We will tell you.
General
Before we discuss the division of the front and back of the suitcase, we would like to give you some general tips in advance. When packing, orient yourself according to the direction of the weight's effect when the suitcase is standing or lying down. For this reason, we recommend packing heavy items in the lower part of the back towards the wheels. Light items should generally be placed on the upper front side towards the handle. This way, you avoid pressure creases and the heavy items do not crush the light clothing together.
Thus, good organization ensures more space and fewer wrinkles in your clothes.
The back side
The weight of heavy contents at the bottom of the suitcase provides reliable stability when standing. Another advantage of this placement is that the weight does not press down on lighter items, such as clothing, which are more prone to wrinkles and pressure marks.
Examples of these heavy and/or bulky items that you should place at the back include:
- - Shoes
- - Books
- - Thick knitwear / jackets, etc.
- - Large cotton hand and bath towels
- - Toiletry bag with cosmetics and care products (depending on size and quantity)
We recommend placing the toiletry bag in the center inside the suitcase rather than at the edge. This way, glass containers are less likely to break if the suitcase bumps against edges or walls.
The front side
Because of the light weight, the suitcase does not become unbalanced when set down, stands stably on its feet or wheels, and delicate items, such as wrinkle-prone clothing, have enough space.
Examples of these light items that you should place at the front include:
- - Clothing, underwear, socks
- - Hand and bath towels made of thin microfiber
- - Sunglasses in a case
- - Other small items
Pay attention to this arrangement, avoid unsightly creases on your clothes, and you can easily set your suitcase down without it tipping over.
