Maximize Space, Minimize Hassles

Why take two bags when you can take one, or a suitcase when you can take a carry-on? Ziploc Space Bags work by compressing their contents as much as 50 percent, so you can pack more in less space.
After the Ziploc Space Bag is filled, the patented closure system ensures an airtight seal. Air is then manually rolled our pushed from the bag through the one way valve, compressing and "shrink-wrapping" the contents. Ziploc Space Bags can double packing space and protect against dirt, bugs, moisture and odors.
An important feature of Ziploc Space Bag products is transparency, a feature that can speed items through airport security checks and reduce the potential for invasive searches of checked luggage. Airport security personnel can get a clear look at belongings packed in Ziploc Space Bag products without directly handling them.
Road-tested and ready for take off, Ziploc Space Bag products make the perfect packing accessory for checked luggage, carry-on size bags and road trips.

Here are a few more packing tips to speed you on your way:

• In larger suitcases, use Ziploc Space Bags to compress and organize the contents.
• Use separate bags to group underwear, socks, scarves, tee shirts, nightclothes, sweaters, dress shirts, jeans, slacks—in whatever combinations work best for you.
• If traveling with children, use Ziploc Space Bags to hold complete outfits or to separate each child's clothing so they can easily find their own items and dress themselves.
• Take along some empty Ziploc Space Bags to hold dirty laundry and keep the rest of the suitcase contents fresh and clean.
• Use a Ziploc Space Bag to hold film, extra batteries and other items you want kept waterproof and easy to find.
• Don't pack your valuables; carry them with you.

For short trips, avoid checking your bag altogether. With the help of Ziploc Space Bags, you can fit a week's wardrobe into a carry-on.

• Select all your clothes in a simple scheme of one or two colors.
• Choose items that will do double duty.
• For business, take only one suit.
• Choose opaque nightclothes so you do not need a robe.
• Call ahead to your hotel to see what amenities are already offered in your room; you may not have to pack that hairdryer or travel iron.
• Make sure you don't have any "security contraband" that you'll have to give up at the checkpoint, and that will slow you down.
• Stick to no more than three pairs of shoes, including casual. Instead of slippers, throw in an extra pair of socks.
• Use travel-size toiletries or transfer your favorites into smaller unbreakable bottles. Leave room in each for liquids to expand, and gather all of them into one airtight, waterproof Ziploc Space Bag to avoid leakage.
• Keep your prescriptions in their originals bottles

Whether checking items or carrying on everything, put your name and phone number or email inside every piece of luggage. Do not include your address.
A few items that take up little space, but can come in very handy: extra batteries, small flashlight, earplugs, small alarm clock.
One more option for traveling lighter….take along some clothing items that are ready to be retired, then jettison them after one wearing en route.
