Always put heavy items, like books or shoes, in the bottom of the luggage and light items, like shirts, near the top.
Instead of folding your shirts, pants, and other clothing, firmly roll them up to avoid creases. Rolling also saves room in your travel bags, which is a good side effect.

To make the best use of the space in your suitcase and to ensure that your shoes retain their form, fold your socks together and use them or other little items to cushion them.
Remove the cap from the cosmetics bottle or other container, cover the opening with some foil, and then screw the cap back on. The liquid will now always stay where it belongs in the foil!
Never overpack, especially if you’re going on vacation. One or more souvenirs always find their way into a suitcase, so anyone who exceeds the allowed weight limit on the outbound trip and has trouble closing it is guaranteed to pay for excess baggage on the return trip.
