Packing Tip: Bundle Wrapping

I decided to pretend that I was going on a trip and packed. I didn’t actually get a bag and put stuff in it. I just came across this article and wanted to try the packing technique. It’s called bundle wrapping.

And I’ve got to say: what a technique it is! I don’t know about preventing wrinkles because I didn’t keep them folded for long, but it really does reduce the size of the clothes (also I have no qualms about wearing wrinkled clothing).

My packing technique used to be to fold pants as a base layer in the suitcase, then roll anything else and place them on top of the pants. I’m not sure if this really saved me any space, but I’m switching to bundle wrapping.
