The Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder not only lets you fit more in your suitcase, it also prevents that wrinkled-tourist look that has yet to become fashionable. With a department store folding board, the Eagle Creek Pack-It Folders organize your clothes in a way that lets even the most anal-retentive traveler rest easy. The Pack-It Folders' silver inner linings repel stains and water and clean up easily. The 18-inch folder holds 8-12 items, and the 20-inch holds 12-15 items (depending on the bulk of the clothes). Once you use a Pack-It Folder, you won't leave home without it.
Bottom Line: Leave the wrinkles at home and save tons of space.
I know that there are some reviews on here that say these don't work, that they aren't worth it. I would beg to differ. I use this all the time to pack nice pants and shirts (not t-shirts and such), and it works wonderfully to keep the clothing neat and wrinkle-free. It also helps to compress things a little; to me, using these help the clothes to take up less space.
To use: Buy the appropriate size. Fold everything nicely while packing. If it was wrinkled going in, it'll come out wrinkled. There's a nifty folding board included. If you use it, it not only helps the folding, but your clothes will fit perfectly. Cinch down, smoothing out as you go.
Pack-It cubes and folders turn anyone into an organized, efficient packer. You can actually find stuff without sifting through everything in the bag, and everything stays put, unlike using just compressor bags, which annoy me by slipping and sliding everywhere.
If you're a fold-the-clothes kind of person, use folders. If you're a roller, use cubes. I use both; folder for bulkier items (really bulky items go in compressor bags, THEN into folders), cubes for lighter rolled up items. (If it's a 30-day or less trip, one folder does it if I'm packing my Contourwear wardrobe items or other tech fabric clothing.)
Folders are especially great for things that you either want to keep unwrinkled (what are you doing packing things that will wrinkle, anyway?) or that are slightly too bulky or complicated to roll into a cube.
I also use the board included with the folders to fold items that I'm going to roll into the cubes so they're all a uniform width.
I travel 2 - 3 weeks out of each month and had simply resigned myself to unpacking, ironing or doing the cheap steam (leaving the hot water on in the bathroom for 10 minutes and letting the clothes hang in there overnight) for the rest of eternity. Then I bought a couple of the Pack-It Folders and wow...what a difference. I swear my clothes came out looking better than when I packed them! The clothes were simply all in one place, easy to get to and find and didn't need a lot of "after-travel" maintenance. I will definitely be buying more of these in all sizes.
I don't really know why everyone likes these. For me, they take up quite a bit of space in my carry-on and the shirts come out wrinkly anyway. I would rather just roll the shirts up and stick them in a eagle creek cube.
My folded shirts measure nearly 12" so does this mean I should order the medium pack-it folder? How much does it weigh? Does it also work for t-shirts or are they best rolled and put in a cube?
The folder comes with a folding board so you will fold the shirt around the board..The Medium will hold up to 12 pieces of clothing. For T- Shirts, I would roll em and put them in cubes....Good luck!
Working in Mexico for a month. Traveling once/twice per week all over the country. Having an organized suitcase is key. THESE rock. I used one for dressy clothes, one for work clothes and one for everyday clothes - so no need to dig through the WHOLE suitcase. the 18 inchers are the best size.
I will be traveling/working in various parts of Mexico for a month and was looking for a way to organize for a fast-moving but extended trip...These are excellent!
I think there could be more info. to suggest which size people should buy. I bought the large one, and it's just too big. Sure I can fill it with other clothes but then everything is still wrinkled. I do like the small one for shirts best. The med size is good for other tops etc and fits into my carry on suitcase too.
but the large...is just too big. Too bad you can't return after using once!
I didn't exactly know if I needed it when I ordered the Pack-It Folder, and when it arrived in the mail I first thought - oh, that's big and quite heavy, I might send it back. When test packing, I took the heavy plastic folding thing out of the folder, folded about 8 pieces of clothes neatly and put them in and oh, I was happy. Everything neatly stacked in my travelling backpack, and it fit perfectly in the back of the big compartement. During my trip, I loved to just pull the folder out, take a fresh top out and put it back in the bag - it was so much easier to pack than if I had everything loose in the bag. This will come along on my next trip for sure! And I might even get another, smaller one.
This is the best packing accessory ever. I love it. It keeps my shirts, pants and shorts wrinkle free and organized. It seems to make more room in my travel bag as well. I think I could take just this and my toothbrush next time and be set.
I have used the Pack-it folder for years. I travel a lot and love to use a rolling duffle bag. Duffle bags certainly aren't good for keeping the wrinkles out of clothes. I use the Pack-it folder for clothes I need to keep wrinkle free and it works like a charm and I still have the convenience of over stuffing a duffle bag.
The small size is really perfect for packing your usual shirts and pants, and I use the medium for larger items like sweat shirts and light jackets. everything stays in place and comes out exactly the way i put it in -- unwrinkled. to own, is to love.
I give this an A+ for organizing to travel without checked bags. I used the medium sized one which fits into a computer-case carrying bag. (This allows me to go straight into a business meeting without having anything that looks like luggage - just my briefcase and a computer-case bag. The computer case bag has a hidden handle and discrete rollers, which means I can stack my briefcase on top and roll it through the airport, but hide the long handle and carry it by hand when I need to look more "in the office"). However, it doesn't do too much for preventing wrinkles - ironing is still needed at the destination point.
I loved using the pack-it folders on a recent three week trip to Europe with my nine year old daughter. I usually really struggle to stay organized when traveling from hotel to hotel, practically unpacking and re-packing everything at each hotel. With the folders, I just put the dirty clothes on the bottom of the pile in each folder, and took clean clothes from the top. And the clothes were much less wrinkled than when I packed suitcases in the past without using the folders.
My daughter used two 15 inch folders - one for tops and one for pants and shorts. I used one 18 inch folder and two 20 inch folders - the 18 inch primarily for tops, one 20 inch for pants and capris, and one 20 inch for sweatshirts, jackets, etc. for both of us.
When someone said the 20 inch folders are just too big, I think it really depends on your size. For me, the 15 inch folders are way too small. I'm very tall and wear plus size clothes, so the 20 inch folders worked great for most of my clothes. But for a woman who is petite to average height and weight, the 20 inch folders would definitely be too big. The folders are a wonderful product!!!
