Are you a seasoned traveller but get bogged down each time by all that messily packed baggage?
Here are some tips to strike a balance in your packing escapades!
PACKING CLOTHES:
If you think you should be packing your clothes neatly by folding your clothes like you would do in your cupboard, you could be wrong. They will only crease more.
Instead, you could roll all your clothes, that is, put each piece face down, have the sleeves folded back and then the entire item gets rolled from the bottom.
Another way is for two pieces to be laid, one on top of the other, with the bottom over the other pair on the top. The other one should then be taken and folded onto the top. This will help the clothes crease less and give them some cushion so that there are less creases or wrinkles, especially in between the folds.
FOR DELICATE PACKING
For expensive and delicate clothes that need a lot of care tissue paper could be used. Place tissue paper on top of each item and roll it, with the tissue paper inside. Additional sheets of tissue paper can be placed in between each piece of clothing, to lessen the chance of creasing.
BOOKS PILED UP ARE A NO-NO
If you have books to carry, do not lay them, one on top of the other – instead, spread them across the bag, to avoid problems.
