Tips related to packing clothes

To reduce wrinkles, fold your garments in tissue paper or wrap them in plastic bags. Wrap several shirts or blouses around a piece of cardboard.
Or place one end of a long garment face down against an inside wall of the suitcase and let the other end hang out. Then lay several shorter items on top of it and fold the end over. Alternate the layers so that the garments cushion one another.
Tuck small items, such as socks and handkerchiefs, into collars and along fold lines.
Don't fold clothes that are going into a duffle bag; roll them.
In a three-section suitcase put the heaviest items in the middle.
Make sure that heavy items are always at the bottom of the bag when the luggage is upright. Don't overfill it.
Put the delicate clothes into a hanging bag first. Centre garments on hangers and bring their sleeves slightly to the front.
Use a dry cleaner's garment bag as a hanging bag in an emergency. Use a child's book bag or a rucksack for personal bits and pieces. On short trips a picnic basket is handy for carrying frequently used items.
