FAQ
Can I use this without packing cubes?
Yes. Treat cube labels as bag, pouch, drawer, or suitcase section labels.
What should stay outside cubes?
Keep documents, current-route items, liquids checks, chargers, and anything needed in transit easy to reach. A perfectly packed cube is not useful if you must unpack the bag at security or on the road.
How should I label cubes for a shared bag?
Use labels that help unpacking, such as person, day, outfit type, or laundry. For family or shared bags, person plus category is usually clearer than color alone.
