Shacke Packung - Packwürfel 4er Set – Reiseorganisierer Mit Wäschebeutel (Aquamarin)

This is a must have for saving storage

Schön und praktisch. Gut vernäht und die Reissverschlüsse laufen flink.

Ich liebe Sie bei jeder Reise. Einfach zu packen, dann mit dem Reißverschluss komprimieren und verstauen und man spart mindestens 20 % Freivolumen im Koffer.

I read an independent review of these and then found on Amazon more favourable reviews and purchased on their recommendations. They are perfect, well made, good fabric and zips and a mesh top so that you can see what's inside. I prefer these to the compression type. I liked them so much I bought another set as a gift for someone else. An easy purchase and fast shipping - would highly recommend.

Well made, great value and they work.

I don't usually write reviews as soon as I open a product, but in the case of my new Shacke Pak packing cubes, I decided to just go ahead and do it. First impression: I love them! The color is beautiful, they appear to be very well-made, the zippers have cool pull covers on them, the mesh windows are great for seeing what is packed inside, and the little black handle for carrying is a nice touch. These are my first packing cubes, so I have nothing to compare them to, but my husband has been using cubes from eBags for years, and said that my new ones appear equal in quality. Even the literature that came with, is nice and thoughtful. They provide you with a nice sturdy almost-laminated "Quick Start Guide" with tips on how to use your new cubes to pack for 3 days, 5 days, and 10 days. Also they invite you to watch their tutorial videos and an interactive trip planner provided on their website. Very nice, and so rare these days. (I do question their claim that you need to register online, in order to secure your product warranty. I stopped registering for warranties years ago unless it's a major purchase, because I found that it was just an excuse for these companies to get your email address and start sending you spam. According to all legal authorities, you don't have to register for any product warranty to be in effect. I'll take my chances on a $40 purchase!)I realize, however, that they still need to stand the test of time. I read a 1-star review here that said they pretty much died by hand-washing in cold water, and that may be true. But honestly, I see no reason at all to wash them right off the bat. That reviewer said they smelled "plasticky," but I smell nothing at all. Maybe the slightest hint of new plastic smell, but only if you really stick your nose on them and try hard to smell something. And this is coming from someone who is extremely sensitive to scents. I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, and I can smell chemicals a mile away. My 8 new bags are sitting on the floor here, right next to my desk... I can't smell a thing, even though they are only about 2' away from me. Believe me, if I smelled anything obnoxious, they would be going back. So I don't see the need to wash these anytime soon, except maybe the laundry bag after each use (which I didn't even realize I was getting, so thank you!).For years, my husband has been trying to convince me of the virtues of these packing cubes. He travels for business, and I'm always amazed at the small "overhead bin" bag that he brings on week-long trips. Even accounting for sex differences in luggage requirements, it seemed to me that he was traveling unusually "light," but he always attributed it to the great organization he achieves in his packing, via cubesAfter going away recently for a girls' weekend, I decided that my inefficient packing habits just have to change for my next trip, which is in August. I get to my hotel on Friday afternoon, after packing in what I thought was a thorough and efficient manner. We were slightly rushed because we were starving, and I made an attempt to quickly find another belt to wear, and a change of top. Of course, no matter how organized I think I am, I can never find the one thing I need most, and end up rifling through my entire suitcase to find it... and bye, bye organization! (Not to mention being panic stricken over having left my jacket in the back seat of my husband's SUV when he dropped me off at the hotel with my girlfriend, after picking her up at the airport... which meant that I had to rifle even harder to find an extra layer to wear, once I discovered that).The rest of the weekend, I felt like a total disorganized mess, and I vowed then and there that I'd never travel again without cubes. So I'm really looking forward to my first experience with them. I also purchased one especially made for devices etc. It was so difficult figuring out where I packed all the little cords, my power bank, adaptors... It felt like I spent half the weekend searching for stuff!!So I bought this 4-pack and the "slim" 4 pack in the same color... which should take care of all my packing needs. I debated about the slim ones because some people really disliked how small they are, but I disagree with them. I think these slim ones are just perfect for small items such as bras, panties, hair ties, socks, belts, scarves, bathing suits, slips, nylons, etc. In fact, they came with a list of suggested uses which are spot-on. You could fill one with power bars if you are going on a long plane trip, and keep your family from starving to death if you get stuck on the tarmac. You could use one for sandals and flip flops. I don't find them particularly small, and I'm sure they will come in handy! (Maybe if they were the ONLY ones you bought, they might be too small and a bad purchase. But as a supplement to the larger set, they are just perfect.)

I had a friend recommend packing cubes when she heard my husband, two year old, and I were going to Europe for two weeks and staying at 6 different hotels. I looked at a variety of options when typing in "packing cube" and finally decided on the Shacke Pak brand and Bago brand.I chose the Shacke Pak brand because I liked that it offered four different sizes and it being my first time purchasing these I wasn't exactly sure what sizes to get. I also liked that with Shacke Pak it came with a laundry bag, which definitely came in handy, because there were times we got rained on all day and with our full packed trip and we didn't have time to find a washer and dryer, so it was nice to separate some of our dirty clothes in the laundry bag. I also really liked the biggest size that it came with and was able to pack almost all of my clothes in just the biggest size for a two week trip!The reason I chose the Bago brand was because I liked that you had the option to choose all of one color or two different colors. I also liked that it came with 6 organizer bags which I used to put our liquids in, incase they leaked. The organizer bags are a lot thicker than your regular ziplock bag, which is what I have usually used, so these will last a lot longer, and there are multiple sizes, so I could separate our toothbrushes and paste in one and soaps and lotions, etc. in another. I also used them to put chargers and adapters in, so they were all together.Overall, between the two brands, as far as durability goes, I honestly didn't notice much of a difference. They are both really thin and light, so they don't take up any extra room in your suitcase! We had them packed full, (especially on our way home) and we didn't have any problems with them! They served their purpose and if or when I need more I will definitely purchase again! Shake Pak was a little more expensive than Bago. I believe I paid $21.99 for Bago and $29.99 for Shacke Pak. I really like the biggest size that came with Shacke Pak, the Bago ones I purchased only offered two sizes that were the two middle sizes offered from this Shacke Pak purchase.Also, I should mention, I purchased brands different from what my friend recommended because these were half the price and honestly, I loved both of them and thought they were very durable. I can't say enough good things about packing bags and I don't know how I ever lived without them! We took one big suitcase, because with a toddler, we needed one person to have free hands when traveling between hotels. In our big suitcase, we packed all four of the Bago bags, and then the 3 biggest Shacke Pak bags. So, that's 7 packing bags, stuffed clear full in one big suitcase for a two week trip across Europe. We each used two bags, and then used one bag for liquids and accessories like chargers. And on our way home, we had the laundry bag half way full, with the 7 bags clear full and we were still able to zip our suitcase up! Also, each bag comes with a handle, and we packed them so the handles were on top, so we could grab our bag out of the suitcase by the handle!On our way across Europe we picked up many souvenirs that we rolled up with our clothes, so we were able to fit even more stuff in our suitcase! These were so convenient too, because each of us had a different color, so when we needed something, rather than making a mess of the whole suitcase trying to find it, we would grab the color of bag for that person! Prior to this, I would end up repacking the suitcase every time we moved locations, so, if you are debating whether or not to get Packing Bags, I would recommend you make the purchase! These are a time saver and space saver! It is so convenient to just grab your bag and put it in the dresser at the hotel, rather than all of your clothes, and they beat repacking your suitcase every time you move locations, or even just when you're leaving to go home.Overall, the Shacke Pak brand was great, we liked the variety of sizes (especially the biggest size) and that it came with a laundry bag. Lastly, if you haven't purchased or used Packing Bags before, I would highly recommend them! They are amazing!
