Travel with as few pieces of luggage as you can by efficiently packing your suitcase. Arrive at your destination with clothes as crisp as possible. Bypass the need for an iron when you just need to enjoy your trip and not worry about taking care of wrinkles. Read on for some ideas that will help you efficiently pack your suitcase.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Select the proper size suitcase that you will require to hold the necessities for your trip. Instead of cramming everything into one bag, explore the idea of using two smaller bags.

  2. Step 2

    Pack coordinating clothes that can be mixed and matched. This will cut down on the number of pieces of clothing that you need to take with you.

  3. Step 3

    Roll knits instead of folding them. They will be easier to tuck into nooks and crannies in your bag. This style of packing also produces less wrinkles.

  4. Step 4

    Keep track of what the weather will be at your travel destination. By having an idea of what kind of clothes you will need, you can cut down on the amount of clothing you need to pack.

  5. Step 5

    Take travel size toiletries on your trip to save space in your suitcase. If your space is extremely tight you can buy these items when you arrive at your destination.

  6. Step 6

    Tuck your airline tickets, identification and any medicines you need in your carry on bags. If your luggage doesn't make it to your final destination, you will have the necessities and can go shopping for the rest of the items you will need.
