Place Everything in One Carry-on Bag by Bundling the Clothes in a Bundle
Everyone loves the idea of ​​lightweight packaging, but carry-ons can fill up quickly. To prevent all of your clothes from wrinkling, try folding them into one giant knot.
This tip is somewhat similar to the Skivvy method , but instead of folding one piece of clothing, you fold all of your clothing together. In a few steps, the guys from Primer magazine put a week more things in one carry-on bag. This is how you do it.
Use your carry-on bag as a guide. Align the waist of one pair of pants with the edge of your carry-on bag. Take another pair of pants and align your waist to the other edge. Keep doing this with all your pants, then start with your shirts.
Line up the collar at the hem at a 90-degree angle from the pants. Take another shirt and line it up on the opposite edge. Also raise the collar so that there are no wrinkles. Once you’ve strategically piled everything up, start dumping.
Fold the shirts up from one edge of the suitcase to the top. Continue folding, adding shirt sleeves from time to time, until you have one huge stack of folded clothes.
Then put your shoes and toiletries in the bottom of your carry-on luggage, stack them and zip them up. It may seem like a lot of work, but it is probably about the same as adding everything traditionally.
Obviously, your mileage will vary depending on how much you bring and how large your carry-on baggage is. My favorite way to travel light is to take as little clothes as possible and book a place with a washer and dryer. But this is not always possible. The primer method is a reliable method for traveling at moderate ease. You’ll want to check out their full post, which is full of details and tips on how to prevent wrinkles from appearing.
