Maximize Your Luggage: The Benefits of Using Packing Cells

Whether you are adventuring near or far away, the use of the right gear can make all the difference to your travelling experience. An easy and useful stress reducer to ensure you have your gear organised by using packing cells. These are a staple for The Urban Gear team when they are travelling, taking road trips or even for day adventures. Here are a few reasons packing cells are the ultimate accessory for any adventure.

What are Packing Cells?

Packing cells are lightweight, zippered fabric storage that comes in various sizes and materials to suit different gear. They are typically made of durable materials like nylon or mesh, allowing you to see the contents inside without having to open them. By using packing cells, you can organise your clothes, shoes, toiletries, and other items, keeping everything in its place during your travels.

Space Efficiency

Packing cells help you make the most of your luggage space by compressing your clothes and reducing bulk, allowing you to pack more efficiently and avoid overpacking. Available in various sizes to accommodate different items, allowing you to maximize space in your luggage. The variety of sizes allows you to truly customize your packing and create the most organised luggage for your trip.

Rectangle Packing Cells: Available in sizes ranging from extra small to large. This style is best for tops, bottoms, and dresses. Our team usually opts for the medium size for the majority of the clothing.

Long or Tube Packing Cells: Great for socks, underwear, and miscellaneous clothing items. Typically, these can tuck along the luggage handle dip in the bottom of the suitcase.

Organisation

Packing cells are a fantastic organizational tool for travellers. They enable you to neatly categorize your belongings by type, outfit, or location, making it effortless to locate items without having to sift through your entire suitcase. This feature proves especially beneficial for individuals embarking on trips with multiple stops in varying climates. By utilizing packing cells, you can stow away items that won't be needed until later in a separate cell, ensuring they don't clutter your immediate necessities. Furthermore, packing cells allow you to separate your clean clothes from soiled ones, keep shoes separate from garments, and organize toiletries distinct from other items. This organisation simplifies the process of finding essential items within your suitcase while on your travels.

Wrinkle Reduction

Packing cells can help keep your clothes wrinkle-free. The clothes won’t have room to move around, so whether you fold or roll they will have fewer wrinkles than if you threw them into the bag without. We recommend the roll method to further compress the clothing for additional space.

Time-Saving

Since packing cells are essentially your dresser drawers while travelling, there shouldn’t be too much rummaging around to find your swimmers or socks. Being able to grab the packing cell with the right gear in it will save you time and allow you to enjoy your trip with less frustration. By using packing cells, you can access specific items without unpacking everything. Simply pull out the cell containing the items you need, keeping the rest of your belongings neatly organised.

Versatility

Sharing a suitcase is made easy as packing cells come in a variety of colours. Couples can easily see whose gear is whose and if you're a parent, each of the kids can easily grab what colour is theirs. Packing cells can also be used for activity-specific adventures. Pop your swim or water gear in the mesh variety for full breathability

Protection & Discretion

Packing cells provide an extra layer of protection for your items and for those personal items you’d rather keep private. This is good for security checks or if you have delicate clothing that you don’t want damaged in baggage handling.

Eco-Friendly & Stress Reducer

These are reusable and multi-purpose. Use them in your every day to bring to the beach, on hikes, gym, and even in your drawers at home. Ultimately, packing cells can reduce the stress associated with travel. Knowing that everything has its place can bring peace of mind, allowing you to focus on enjoying your journey.

Packing cells are a simple yet effective tool that can transform your travel experience. They’re not just about organisation; they’re about making your trip smoother, more enjoyable, and hassle-free. Overall, packing cells are a game-changer when it comes to efficient packing. By using these handy compartments, you can maximise your luggage space, stay organised, and keep your belongings in order throughout your travels. Whether you're a frequent flyer or a casual traveller, investing in packing cells can make your packing process smoother and more enjoyable. So next time you’re preparing for an adventure, consider giving packing cells a try – your future self will thank you. Happy travels and organised packing!
