Before starting packing, check what’s the whether at the
place where you are going. This little checking will save you from arranging
extra packing options for clothes which you are not going to need at your
destination.
There are a few steps that you can follow to ensure
convenient and highly effective packing of your luggage.
Prepare a list
If your stay at destination is for a particular number of
days, you need to plan what to wear on what day. The main reason for this
travelling may be an event that you want to participate in. Make sure that the
dress for that event in ready. For normal days, you can choose less number of
clothes if you are sure about the availability of laundry service. Keep an extra
pair of undergarments along with the clothes.
After you have decided what you are going to take with you,
make a list. This list, after getting ready, will provide you a complete
overview of your luggage. With this list in hand, it will be easier to make
further additions of deductions from the luggage where deemed necessary.
Furthermore, this list will provide you an option to do a quick checking
anywhere during travelling.
Put heavy items in
the bottom
The first layer of items at the bottom of shipping box
should consist of heavy and bulky items. That will make the maneuvering of
luggage convenient. In case you have prepared a hand carry suitcase, then the
heavy should be stacked on the top, right under the handle area.
Small items like jewelry, socks, gloves etc. can be tucked
in shoes and purses. That will leave you with the convenience in packing big
items.
Fold the fabric
Believe it or not, rolling the clothes and putting them in
suitcase or boxes wastes the valuable space that could have been used to store
extra clothes. On the other hand, folding makes it easier to set the layers of
clothes and it would give you more space to include something extra in your
luggage.
Packing delicate
items
Breakable or delicate items might get damaged while placed in
the suitcase or shipping box. The typical example of such items is the personal
care products. These products usually contain synthetic fluids that have
natural tendency to ruin other items in the luggage. The best way to keep those
items from breaking is to pack them using padded clothes or boxes. Then, it
wouldn’t be a big issue if you place these items among the rest of your
luggage.
