Packing Clothes in Plastic to Prevent Wrinkling

Wrinkles are caused when clothes sit on top of each other and press in on the small folds in the material. This can be avoided by wrapping your clothes in plastic and then placing them in a plastic bag. The plastic allows the clothes to slip around and prevents them from getting lodged in one area of your suitcase. Taking the time to pack your clothing this way will save you time on your trip, since you won't have to iron your clothes again at the new destination.
