Both types of cube keep a suitcase organized. The difference is what they do to the clothes inside.
Standard packing cubes are zip pouches that split a bag into categories, such as tops, underwear, shoes and small items. They keep things sorted and easy to find, but they do not make clothes smaller. Our 7-Piece Packing Cube Set is this kind: seven standard zip pieces, not compression cubes (less2lug.com/products/l2l-packing-cube-set).
Compression cubes add a second zip that you close after packing, which squeezes the contents flatter. They help when a bag is full of bulky items like sweaters, but squeezed clothes can crease more, so they suit casual clothes better than suits and dresses. Our 3-Piece Compression Packing Cubes work this way (less2lug.com/products/l2l-compression-cubes).
Which to choose: if your problem is finding things, choose standard cubes. If your problem is fitting everything in, choose compression cubes. Many travelers use standard cubes for most items and one compression cube for bulky knits.
