Pack Heaviest Items on Wheel Side of Roller Suitcase
This may seem obvious, but when packing a rolling suitcase, place the heaviest items on the side of the suitcase where the wheels are. This will ensure items don't shift (and potentially crush things you'd prefer not get crushed) as well as prevent you from dealing with a top-heavy suitcase that tips over whenever you let go of the handle. -
Place a Rolled-Up Belt Inside Shirt Collar
If you're packing a collared shirt and a belt, try this: roll up the belt so it's the same size as the shirt collar, and place inside the collar. Not only is this a space-saver, it will also prevent the shirt's collar from getting crushed during transit, keeping it stiff and pristine. -
Pack a Mesh Laundry Bag for Dirty Clothes
Before leaving on your trip, toss in a small mesh laundry bag (typically found in dollar stores). It will take up next to no room, but will give you a way to separate dirty clothes from clean ones, and will make unpacking that much easier when you arrive back home.
