Packing cubes and suitcase organisers – keep your luggage tidy
With packing cubes and suitcase organisers, you can pack your suitcase efficiently and find everything straight away. These lightweight packing bags separate clothes, shoes, electronics 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 bags made from nylon or polyester with mesh inserts for ventilation and quick identification of contents. Available in sets of 3–6 bags in various sizes. Ideal for everyday use and as essential kit for any suitcase.
Compression packing cubes
Compression packing cubes have an additional zip that squeezes the air out of the bag, reducing the volume by up to 50%. Particularly useful for hand 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 clothes from dirty soles. Water-repellent material prevents moisture from reaching other items of luggage.
Laundry bags
For worn clothes on the return journey. Odour-proof materials keep fresh and worn laundry separate – particularly handy on longer trips.
Tech organiser
Special compartments for charging cables, adapters, power banks and headphones. Elastic loops and padded compartments protect sensitive electronics. Essential for business travellers.
Which size for which purpose?
A good packing cube set consists of 3–5 bags in different 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 carry-on suitcase (55 cm), 3 medium cubes plus one small one are sufficient. For a large suitcase (75+ cm), we recommend a 5- or 6-piece set.
How to pack properly with packing cubes
- Roll instead of fold: Rolling clothes tightly saves up to 30% space and reduces creases
- Heavy items at the bottom: Place heavy cubes (jeans, shoes) on the side of the suitcase where the rolls are
- Use compression: Fill the compression cubes first, then zip up the outer flap
- Colour-code: Use different colours for different family members or clothing categories
- Fill the gaps: Place small cubes and socks in the spaces between the larger bags

Frequently asked questions
What are packing cubes and what are they used for?
Packing cubes are lightweight bags made of nylon or mesh that help keep your suitcase organised. They sort clothes by category (tops, trousers, underwear) into separate bags – so you can find everything straight away and your suitcase stays tidy. Particularly handy when changing hotels frequently and for travellers who live out of their suitcase.
What are compression packing cubes?
Compression packing cubes have an additional zip that squeezes the air out of the bag and reduces the volume by up to 50%. Ideal for hand luggage travellers who need to make the most of every inch. 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 bags: 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 hand luggage, 3 medium cubes are sufficient; for large suitcases, we recommend a 5-piece set.
Which packing cubes are the best?
Eagle Creek is considered a pioneer and offers a lifetime guarantee. Osprey offers the lightest compression cubes. Samsonite cubes fit perfectly with Samsonite suitcases. For value for money, we recommend Travelite sets. The 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 they do create order. Compression packing cubes, on the other hand, reduce volume by 30–50% by squeezing out the air. The greatest space saving comes from combining rolling (instead of folding) with compression cubes – this way, you can fit up to 30% more clothes into the same suitcase.
Can I also use packing cubes in a rucksack?
Yes, packing cubes are ideal for travel rucksacks and hiking rucksacks. Cubes are particularly indispensable for top-loader rucksacks without internal compartments, as they help organise the contents. Ultra-lightweight models from Osprey or Sea to Summit are specially designed for backpackers.
