Packing Cubes and Luggage Organisers – Keeping Your Luggage in Order
With packing cubes and luggage organisers, you can pack your suitcase efficiently and find everything right away. The lightweight packing pouches separate clothing, shoes, tech and toiletries – no more chaos in your suitcase. At Markenkoffer.de, you'll find packing cubes from Samsonite, Osprey, Eagle Creek, Thule and Sea to Summit.
What types of packing cubes are available?
Classic packing cubes
Lightweight packing pouches made of nylon or polyester with a mesh panel for ventilation and quick identification of contents. Available in sets of 3–6 pouches in various sizes. Ideal for everyday use and as a basic setup for any suitcase.
Compression packing cubes
Compression packing cubes feature an additional zip that pushes the air out of the pouch, reducing volume by up to 50%. Especially valuable for cabin luggage travellers who need to make the most of every centimetre. Osprey and Eagle Creek offer particularly well-designed solutions here.
Shoe bags
Separate bags for shoes protect your clothing from dirty soles. Water-resistant material prevents moisture from spreading to other items of luggage.
Laundry bags
For worn clothing on the return journey. Odour-proof materials keep fresh and worn laundry separate – particularly handy on longer trips.
Tech organisers
Dedicated compartments for charging cables, adapters, power banks and headphones. Elastic loops and padded compartments protect sensitive electronics. Essential for business travellers.
What size for what purpose?
A good packing cube set consists of 3–5 pouches in various sizes:
- Small (approx. 25 x 18 cm): Underwear, socks, charging cables and small items
- Medium (approx. 35 x 25 cm): T-shirts, shirts and trousers – the most commonly used size
- Large (approx. 45 x 35 cm): Jumpers, jackets and bulky items of clothing
- Extra-narrow (approx. 35 x 12 cm): Perfect for ties, belts or rows of socks
Tip: For a cabin luggage suitcase (55 cm), 3 medium cubes plus one small one are enough. For a large suitcase (75+ cm), we recommend a 5- or 6-piece set.
How to pack correctly with packing cubes
- Roll instead of fold: Tightly rolling clothing saves up to 30% space and reduces creasing
- Heavy items at the bottom: Place heavy cubes (jeans, shoes) on the wheel side of the suitcase
- Make use of compression: Fill compression cubes first, then close the outer zip
- Colour coding: Use different colours for different family members or clothing categories
- Fill the gaps: Tuck small cubes and socks into the spaces between the larger pouches

Frequently asked questions
What are packing cubes and what are they used for?
Packing cubes are lightweight packing pouches made of nylon or mesh that bring order to your suitcase. They sort clothing by category (tops, trousers, underwear) into separate pouches – so you can find everything right away and your suitcase stays tidy. Particularly useful when changing hotels frequently and for travellers living out of a suitcase.
What are compression packing cubes?
Compression packing cubes have an additional zip that pushes the air out of the pouch, reducing volume by up to 50%. Ideal for cabin luggage travellers who need to make the most of every centimetre. Recommended models are available from Osprey, Eagle Creek and Sea to Summit.
What size packing cubes do I need?
A good set consists of 3–5 pouches: small (25 x 18 cm) for underwear and socks, medium (35 x 25 cm) for T-shirts and trousers, large (45 x 35 cm) for jumpers and jackets. For cabin luggage, 3 medium cubes are enough; for large suitcases, we recommend a 5-piece set.
Which packing cubes are the best?
Eagle Creek is considered a pioneer. Osprey offers the lightest compression cubes. Samsonite cubes match Samsonite suitcases perfectly. For value for money, we recommend Travelite sets. The right choice depends on whether you prioritise lightness, compression or durability.
How much space do packing cubes really save?
Classic packing cubes don't save space but create order. Compression packing cubes, on the other hand, reduce volume by 30–50% by pressing out the air. The biggest space saving comes from combining rolling (instead of folding) with compression cubes – fitting up to 30% more clothing into the same suitcase.
Can I also use packing cubes in a backpack?
Yes, packing cubes are excellent for travel backpacks and hiking backpacks. They are especially essential for top-loader backpacks without internal compartments, as they help structure the contents. Ultra-lightweight models from Osprey or Sea to Summit are specifically designed for backpackers.
