If traveling is the road, then packing is the road’s toll — and make no mistake, packing luggage before a trip is nothing if not tolling. Whether you’re backpacking the world, a digital nomad, a jet-setting professional or a once-in-a-lifetime honeymooner, packing for your trip can be a daunting experience. From sitting on suitcases to get your belongings to fit to increasingly exorbitant checked bag costs, packing effectively is a headache, while packing ineffectively can be a budget-buster. Fortunately, a set of Compressible Packing Cubes from Kiva Designs may relieve some of the hassle packing seems to cause.

 

Although vacuum-styled packing is not radically new, removing air from an airtight plastic container isn’t exactly practical for frequent travelers. The patented construction by Kiva Designs offers a more practical design to minimize your luggage. By simply filling the mesh-topped packing cubes with clothing, then compressing the clothing by closing the cube with the integrated zipper system, your garments are minimized up to one-half of their original size. Constructed of 60 percent polyester and 40 percent recycled PET material, the compressible packing cubes are ultra-lightweight, durable and extremely convenient for using on the road.

 

Retailing at $25, each set includes three compressible packing cubes: one main cube measuring 15 inches by 11 inches by 5 inches and two secondary cubes measuring 11.5 inches by 7.75 inches by 5 inches. Not only do the compressible packing cubes minimize and organize your luggage, all three tubes only weigh 12 ounces combined. Ideal for backpackers with minimal space or traveling business professionals who prefer to carry-on, the Compressible Packing Cubes from Kiva Designs offer a simple solution to one of the traveler’s most consistent problems. Affordable, convenient and highly effective, the compressible packing tubes can remove the headache of packing and the heartache of airline luggage costs.
