Whether you’re packing a suitcase for a long holiday or trying to fit everything into your hand luggage to save money, arriving at your destination to find all of your garments creased can mean some unwanted ironing. However, an expert claims to have discovered a method that not only cuts down on space – it also stops your clothes from creasing.

The method is dubbed “the sushi method” due to the way in which you fold your clothes. According to experts from Online-Bedrooms, the method involves folding the outermost clothing items around smaller clothes, creating a bundle.

Nic Shacklock from Online-Bedrooms said: “Packing for a holiday doesn’t have to mean dealing with wrinkled clothes.

“By choosing the right fabrics and using clever packing hacks, holidaymakers can ensure their clothes don’t look a mess when they unpack at the hotel.

“When you arrive at your destination with clothes that are ready to wear, you save time and stress, allowing you to start enjoying your holiday immediately.

“Packing carefully is especially important if you’re attending a special event during your trip, but even if you’re not, it’s always nice to look your best while you’re out and about, whether you’re sightseeing or going out for meals.

“There are simple ways holidaymakers can pack wrinkle-free such as rolling or bundling up their clothes or utilising packing cubes and tissue paper.”

When it comes to the sushi method, Nic explained: “The sushi method involves bundling the clothes around each other to keep the outermost layer of clothes wrinkle-free. This method is effective because the outermost clothes are spread out across the surface of the bundle, rather than getting squished.”

However, it’s also important not to over-stuff your bag. Not only can overpacking lead to unexpected fees at the airport, it can also damage the condition of your belongings.

“Remember to pack light to give your clothes space and hang your clothes up immediately to allow wrinkles to fall out naturally,” said Nic.

“The first thing to consider is choosing materials that are less likely to crease in a suitcase. If possible, try to avoid wrinkle-prone fabrics such as linen, silk and cotton, and opt for synthetic materials such as lycra, nylon and polyester.”
