So, what's the best way to pack as much as you can into the smallest amount of space, and still be able to access every item quickly and easily? You want the Japanese folding method "KonMari". Everything is folded into the same dimensions, then stacked vertically so that you can see everything all at once without having to empty the whole suitcase to find your favourite t-shirt. And if you open your suitcase upsidedown... it won't all fall out!
For suitcases I recommend purchasing the following items to aid your organised packing:
Clothes Storage Boxes
These are fantastic for packing clothes into suitcases, especially children's clothes, being so small get easily lost. Socks & underwear in one, t-shirts in another, leggings in another, jumpers and trousers in another. The beauty is, you can lift out the boxes to store larger or less-used items underneath, like a week's stash of nappies, 4 pairs of shoes, a big coat, beach towel etc. This also helps with easily working out exactly how many days of clean clothes you have left before you have to go and find a laundry machine! You can buy these from Amazon, or just get the IKEA Skubb set for £6. The larger ones are more suited to adult's suitcases.
