Plastic reduces wrinkles. Pack hanger garments in dry-cleaner bags. Rolling is a great space-saving and wrinkle-reducing choice for jeans, knits, and socks packed in shoes. Mesh bags keep underwear from being touched when an inspector is able to see into the bag. Create a clothing jigsaw puzzle where no empty spaces remain and items won't shift in your suitcase. |
