Packing Tips - Pack Your Suitcase to Thwart Wrinkled Clothes

Roll 'em! Rolling your clothes will help reduce wrinkling.

Here's how I packs, and I'm darn good at making the clothes wrinkle resistant. Take a shirt, in this case a fairly heavy long sleeve shirt, and lay a tee shirt over it. Then roll them both up together in a fairly tight roll.

The principle here is simple: by rolling our clothes we're creasing them less right from the start. We're creating a radius bend and we expect the fabric to recover from such gentle handling with just a bit of shaking out. It works. Try it.
