Folding vs rolling clothes?
Just curious if rolling your clothes actually prevents wrinkles more so
than "folding" them does..... when packing for a trip?
Im trying to determine if the Eagle Creek Pack It cubes are worth buying.
Or just better to roll clothes

We have been using the Pack It system for several years and believe it prevents
wrinkles on most clothes. You need to follow the directions for folding the
clothes for placing them in the cubes. There are some items which will wrinkle
no matter how you pack them.

Professional stylists are most likely also staying at a place with an
iron....and many more stars than most of us.
IMHO, rolling evenly spreads your wrinkles; folding contains them to fewer
areas.

I've tried both and neither seems to prevent wrinkles more than the
other -- they're just different kinds of wrinkles.

I've never found any difference on trips where I unpack upon arrival, then
repack before I leave. But if you're repacking frequently, or never really
unpacking at all (i.e. bus trip with many one-night stops), rolling results
in fewer wrinkles. I think this is because, if your suitcase is full of
rolled clothes, you disturb fewer things when you're trying to get one set
of clothes out.

Either way--however, when packing the duffle bag in the service, we always
rolled all the clothes. Now when packing we put things in plastic bags,
the kind you get at the super market--2-3 shirts, sweaters underwear etc..
This makes it very easy to find something, compartmentizing everything and
makes it very easy to take a lot of things out and repack without
disturbing the whole suitcase.

Used with some sort of bag, either a 3 gallon zip lock or an
eagle creek kinda thing, folding creates "creases". Rolling tends
to create "wrinkles". FWIW, creases probably scream "tourist",
wrinkles... oh, I dunno... "slept in these clothes"?

Re: Folding vs rolling clothes?
I'm a roller. I find if you take your time to roll carefully you get fewer
wrinkles than you might think. I also find that rolling somehow seems to
compact the items more so I have more room in my suitcase. I do, as others
suggest, use plastic bags to compartmentalize most things in my suitcase.
I now purchase a lot of clothing made of microfibre or tactel which is very
comfortable, dries in a few hours for hotel room washes, packs very light,
and any wrinkles fall away with a 3 minute steam in a hotel bathroom.
I use one 29in samsonite hardsided suitcase. I call it the "black hole". It
goes everywhere and has protected and transported a myriad of items from
clothing to fine art glass with no troubles.
Good thread...

I've always used one of these, but it seems that I won't be able to do the
same for my next trip to the States. :-(
Mine has a number combination lock rather than a key's one, and with the new
TSA recommendations that suggest to keep the luggage open for inspection,
it's not a good idea to use the combination lock. I don't want to see my
suitcase with its locks broken in the airport carousel once I arrive at
destination.

So dont spin the dials, leave the combination lock open.

Yes, but what if any of the dials is inadvertently moved by someone handling
the suicase? Does anyone know if the screenings are always done in presence
of the luggage owner? Because if it's so, I can gladly open and close the
suitcase before and after the operation, but if I hand over my suitcase and
it's revised afterwards, there are chances of the dials being moved, what
will end in broken locks.

I think it depends on the airport. When I flew our of Allentown PA earlier
this year (a small city) they did it while I was standing there. In San Juan,
I wasn't around. I would say most airports it is not in your presence.
