Packing cubes are a travel essential that can truly transform the way you pack. But organizing your carry-on isn’t the only thing they’re good for. When you’re not preparing for your next trip, you can still put packing cubes to use at home and in your daily life. Need some inspiration? Check out these packing…
Keep Sheet Sets Together
Even though we love a good mix-and-match moment, it’s best to keep sheet sets together, at least when you’re storing them. That way they don’t get separated and lost, and you won’t have to tear apart the house when you need a complete set. Packing cubes are a fantastic storage solution because they have ample space for one set, if not more. Don’t forget to label the cubes to make retrieval easier. Painter’s tape is removable and perfect for writing on with a permanent marker.
Store Off-Season Clothing
If packing cubes can keep your clothes in check in your carry-on, they can certainly do the same for your clothing at home. They’re particularly useful for storing off-season clothing, keeping your closet free of items you won’t wear. For bulkier winter wear, such as sweaters or coats, you can even use compression packing cubes to create more space in a storage bin.

Manage Cables and Electronics
It’s almost too easy to lose your charging cables, cords, and small electronics accessories. Packing cubes are the perfect tool to keep them organized and in one place. You can even take this a step further and use a different packing cube for each type of electronic, such as one for your phone extras and another for laptop gear. Don’t forget the reusable cable ties to keep everything neat and tidy.
If you’re switching bags often, chances are you’ve left an essential behind, whether it’s a pair of sunglasses or your favorite lip balm. All of that can be avoided by keeping your purse must-haves together in a smaller bag, such as a packing cube. That way, you can easily transfer everything you need from one bag to the next.
