Learn how to pack suits, dresses, and shirts in the PackAway Closet to keep them wrinkle-free. Step-by-step folding and hanging tips for carry-on and checked sizes.
Quick answer
Use the PackAway Closet to keep suits and dresses wrinkle-free by folding them with tissue paper and securing them in the garment sleeve before placing them in your luggage. Choose the Carry-On size for short trips or the Checked size for longer journeys.
Why the PackAway Closet beats traditional folding
The PackAway Closet is a travel closet organizer that keeps your garments separated and secure during transit. Unlike packing cubes that compress items, this accessory allows your clothes to maintain their shape, reducing creases and wrinkles.
Its two sizes—Carry-On and Checked—let you match the organizer to your luggage and trip length. The Carry-On size is ideal for weekend getaways or when you're traveling light, while the Checked size offers more capacity for extended trips or bulkier items like suits and formal dresses.
Know your garment types
The PackAway Closet works best for structured garments like suits, blazers, and dresses. For casual items like t-shirts and jeans, packing cubes are more space-efficient. Reserve the closet for items that wrinkle easily or need to look sharp on arrival.
Step-by-step: Pack wrinkle-free with the PackAway Closet
- Lay the closet flat: Unzip the PackAway Closet and lay it flat on a clean surface. Smooth out any wrinkles in the fabric of the closet itself. Check that the closet is fully unzipped to avoid bunching.
- Fold garments with tissue paper: For suits and dresses, place a sheet of tissue paper over the garment before folding. Fold sleeves inward and then fold the garment in half lengthwise. The tissue paper reduces friction and prevents deep creases. Avoid overfolding—if the garment is too bulky, use the Checked size instead.
- Layer items in the closet: Place heavier items like jackets at the bottom and lighter items like shirts on top. Use the internal straps to secure the stack and prevent shifting during transit. Do not overstuff the closet; leave a little room for the zipper to close smoothly.
- Zip and place in luggage: Close the PackAway Closet and place it in your suitcase. Position it on top of other items or in a dedicated compartment to minimize pressure on your garments. Avoid placing heavy items on top of the closet after packing.
- Unpack and hang immediately: Upon arrival, remove garments from the closet and hang them in the hotel closet. Steam or iron if needed—the tissue paper should have prevented most wrinkles. For best results, unpack as soon as you reach your destination.
