Shacke Pak vs eBags! Quality construction, Great design, EXCELLENT ZIPPER…made me a BELIEVER in PACKING CUBES. Pros:- Quality build- Excellent zipper quality and durability- Strong seams- Lightweight- Open netting design allows for visibility of contents and easy compression- Attractive but simple colors and design- Comfortable zipper pulls- Comes with sack to carry all the packing cubes and can alternatively be used as a travel laundry bag- 4 packing cubes for the price of many competitors offering 3- Excellent customer serviceCons:- Nothing major at the moment, but I am starting to notice after a few months of use that some of the seams appear to be stretching a little too far and am concerned that it may tear after a while- The plastic spring cord lock used on the sack that carries all the packing cubes (I used the sack as a “dirty laundry bag”) broke after a monthPersonal Experience:Ask me a year ago whether I would ever have packing cubes and I would have scoffed at you and declared that it was illogical to try to save packing space by using packing cubes that forced the cube shape. Now…I’m a believer!!Packing cubes have changed the way I packed forever. Not only does it organize everything I pack (underwear, socks, pajamas go in one; shirts and pants go in another, etc), it allows me to pack 2-3 times more than I used to be able to because you are able to squeeze everything into a packing cube and then zip it up. Packing cubes don’t add any appreciable weight to your luggage because they are so lightweight anyway. And for longer trips, I simply take out my packing cubes from my duffel bag/suitcase and they serve as drawers for all my travel items.In terms of Shacke Pak specifically, I referenced in my “Pros” why I think Shacke Pak is generally superior to other brands. In particular, I received one packing cube that had an issue with the zipper that resulted in the zipper handle breaking pre-maturely. I contacted Shacke Pak and customer service immediately sent me a replacement packing cube without any hassle. I am very pleased with the customer service and it has given me some measure of confidence that they will continue to take care of their customers in the future.**Update: I also own two sets of eBags packing cubes (you can read my other reviews) and have had the opportunity to compare them directly to Shacke Pak. In all honesty, both brands make exceptional packing cubes and you really wouldn’t be disappointed either way. But to be nit picky, I will share a few of my observations:- Shacke Pak uses a material with a matte finish compared to the more shiny honeycomb design of eBags. The Shacke Pak material stretches ever so slightly, whereas the eBags material has very little give. As a result, it appears that the material eBags uses is slightly more durable, but Shacke Pak looks slightly more premium.- Shacke Pak uses hidden stitching beneath the zippers, whereas eBags uses a double stitched design in most places. After owning the Shacke Pak packing cubes for about a year, I am noticing that the hidden stitching under the zipper pulls a little more and actually becomes visible when I pack the cubes tightly. This concerns me slightly and makes me question the long term durability whereas eBags’ double stitched design seems to hold strong regardless of how tightly I pack the cubes.- The depth of Shacke Pak packing cubes is .75″ to 1″ more, so you can pack more.- The zipper pull handle (not the zipper itself) on one of my packing cubes from Shacke Pak fell off after one month. I contacted Shacke Pak and they immediately sent me an entire new packing cube. Shacke Pak demonstrated excellent customer service, but at the same time I am a little concerned that something like that happened so quickly in the first place. Since then, I have had no issues with my two sets of packing cubes from Shacke Pak. I have had no issues with eBags in terms of the zippers or zipper handles in the 6 months that I have owned them.- Shacke Pak packing cubes gives you 4 for the price of approximately 3 from eBags. Also, Shacke Pak includes a pouch with the packing cubes that can be conveniently used as a dirty laundry bag when you’re travelling. You seem to get a little more for your money with Shacke Pak.- Zipper quality for both is excellent, as they both use YKK zippers.- Overall: You can’t go wrong with either and each brand has slight advantages over the other in a few areas. I personally think eBags is slightly more durable, but that Shacke Pak is slightly more attractive and gives you a little more for your money.Conclusion:If you are looking for a high quality and durable set of packing cubes for travelling, you really can’t go wrong with the Shacke Pak set. The price is reasonable and you get 4 packing cubes for the price of what most competitors charge for 3. I have not had any real issues with quality or durability (I travel and use these a lot, but I will update my review in the future), and Shacke Pak has already demonstrated to me that they have excellent customer service. I also think the Shacke Pak packing cube set provides one of the most stylish designs compared to the others out there.**I have included a picture of one my packing cubes when it is packed tightly showing what I mean about the hidden stitching being stretched and visible. This concerns me a bit.

This group of travel packs is so well made, outstanding! Just ordered a second one for a traveling family member. You can’t go wrong with this,

Incase you didn’t get the message from the title, I LOVE these packing cubes! I just got back from Hawaii and used them to pack. My husband asked me, “why do you need to pack your clothes inside of something that your going to pack inside of something else?” I DON’T KNOW!!! Why do I??? Well, here’s my crazy reasoning.1. It looks neater. And because of that I think my clothes didn’t wrinkle as much.2. It’s so much more organized. All my bathing suits and coverups went in one cube. All my shorts and tops in another. All my husbands clothes went in a cube. When we got to the condo we just pulled out the cubes and either hung the clothes up or put them in the dresser.3. I could fit more in, or at least I think I did!4. If you have to live out of a suitcase on vacation packing cubes will make it so much easier to find things rather than having one big pile of clothes.5. These were very nice quality. I filled them pretty full and had full confidence that the zippers would hold.6. I liked that there’s a strip of see through material so you can see what’s inside.7. The laundry bag and shoe bag is nice to have too.8. These would be great to use to store clothes in under my bed too!I’ve included pics off my cubes all packed up for Hawaii. Some people said there’s had a smell so when I got mine I just unzipped them and let them air out for a couple of days before I used them.I can’t believe how excited I was to use them and how excited I was to open and unpack once I got to my destination. My husband still doesn’t get all the hype but I think their great!

These are ideal when packing for a long trip. The mesh on top enables one to see what is inside each of the bags. There are various sizes to pack and separate different clothes. The only reason that they get 4 stars is that I have tried to find a means to reach out to the company to see if they are machine washable but have been unsuccessful. No phone number, no email; concerning.

These were purchased for a 2 week international trip as an addition to some other packing squares I already owned. When they arrived and were unpacked, they were not that impressive. While the quality seemed great, they looked small and not all that usable. I considered returning them, but I’m glad that I didn’t.I wear size XL or XXL clothes and typically they take up a lot of room in a suitcase. I didn’t think they would be able to hold everything I wanted so I pulled my other squares as well. I was totally wrong about how much they can hold! I was able to fit about 8 shorts, 10 t-shirts, underwear for 10 days, a pair of jeans, swim trunks, a hat, and a pair of shoes in these squares, nothing else needed, and I didn’t even use the drawstring bag – that was used for laundry during the trip. The clothes were all rolled, so they weren’t very wrinkly on arrival, but the biggest improvement over previous trips was the amount of space left in my suitcase after putting all the squares in there. They were also used for short overnight trips as well, which makes them doubly useful. You can fit enough clothes for 2-3 days in the large square and throw it in a car, or backpack, for easy transport. You could even just carry it easily due to the handle on the top.I bought four sets for my family, and they were all just as good, no issues with quality. I’d thoroughly recommend them if you have a need for any sort of packing. They work really well for long trips, short trips and anything in between.

Whether you’re a roller or a folder, these organizers keep all your clothes in place where you packed them! I didn’t think I would be as impressed with these but I decided to order them a day before my flight for same day delivery and received them a few hours after ordering – what an age we live in!While they are not necessary, the convenience these organizers provide make them worth purchasing. I always organize my clothes when I pack my suitcase but over the course of a trip, all my different articles end up mixed up and jumbled together from pulling stuff out and stuffing things back into the suitcase.Having separate cubes for different types of clothing maintains order in the suitcase and saves me time when putting an outfit together, ultimately giving me more time and energy to enjoy my vacation or trip. It also makes it super easy to take everything out of the suitcase and put it into the wardrobe/drawers – something I’ve never done before but felt confident doing since there was a protective layer around my clothes. The shoe bag and laundry bay are awesome, too.Veken also included a little pamphlet on suggested ways to fold or roll your clothing in case you’re a complete noob. To those complaining about the durability, you should be realistic about what you’re receiving for a 6 piece set at this price point. Don’t manhandle them and you’ll be fine. Get these! At a fraction of the cost of other brands, they are a great way to try packing cubes.As an aside: I read reviews pretty thoroughly and I noticed people commenting on those “hairs” they found in their bag. If you look closely, you can see that those fibers are bent in the middle, looks like bristles from a brush or cleaning device so that answer from the company actually makes sense.

Very lightweight and keeps my clothes organized. I don’t have to worry about my clothes spilling out into the floor.

I was preparing for a 10 day road trip and knew we couldn’t all pack suitcases and hope to fit in the car. So I decided to use a duffle so it could be smushed. But 10 days in a duffle could get messy fast. I found these packing squares and I was pleasantly surprised at how much they held. If you’ve ever read one of my reviews, you’ll know that I’m not a petite person. Large person means large clothes. But these bags held everything. And it comes with a bag to store a pair of shoes and keep from getting your other stuff dirty. It also comes with a small laundry bag.All in all, this was a good purchase. They worked well for keeping me organized during a long trip. They look nice. And they held a good amount. I’ll definitely get some use out of these in my future travels.

Useful. I used these on a recent trip, and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to not using cubes! It seriously helps keep everything organized and accessible. I like that they give you so many different sizes and different pouches. The material is definitely thin, and I wouldn’t say it’s high quality. But it does the trick and I’ve had no issues after a week long trip.

They work out good for me on my vacation I only use them one time so far but I will be using them again in Oct and Dec so I hope they hold up it was easy to put my things in and find what it needed by looking at the tags that I put in the little pocket they have on there and I had more room in my suite case for other things and they are helpful to organize and keep things organized I got a set for my husband and myself they work out for us so for I was able to put a good bit in the case and the zipper held up

I always thought these were a joke, but saw a presentation online about how to pack. Ordered these and left on a weekend trip 2 days after receiving. I used a large duffle bag and couldn’t believe how nice it was to have my clothing organized, to be able to get things out of bag and not worry about the surface I was putting them on, and to keep several pairs of shoes in a separate bag. Just wish the bag for soiled clothes was bigger. My friend was so impressed, she was going to order her own set when she got home.

I have three sets of packing cubes, each from different sellers/ makers when we first started our van life journey. These are BY FAR my favorites. The fabric quality is very high – they are thick and durable, the stitching is solid, and the frosted plastic front is flexible, not brittle, so it doesn’t get scratched or torn. But by FAR the star of the show is the zipper. The zippers on both our other sets have had some trouble ranging from annoying to destroyed, but not these guys. They slide along smooth as you please, and it’s been almost two years. I even recently flew via Frontier and of course I wasn’t paying for luggage – so I took the largest one of these packing cubes, packed it with items and a smaller one of the cubes, and slid it into my tote bag as my personal item. Worked like a charm and packed two weeks of clothes and other items with no issue. If you’re looking for an excellent set of packing cubes, these guys are perfect.

I’ve been wanting to try packing cubes for a while, but they’re all priced so high and I never went on a big enough vacation to justify spending money on them, so it always felt like I could get by without them. I’m moving abroad soon and for a while I’ll have to live out of my suitcase, so I thought it was time to give these a shot. So far I love them and I wish I’d had them sooner; it’s so convenient to know exactly where everything is and not have to dig through my bag. These were affordable and they look nice and feel like decent quality, so I’d recommend

Where have these bags been all my life?! Each bag has pictures of what would fit inside. I used these as guides while packing. Everything fit in nicely. Placing them inside my suitcase was a breeze. When I arrived at my destination I found everything as I had packed it and best of all there were no wrinkles! The shoebag held 2-3 pair of shoes. My young grandson found that it held all his little toys while staying in a hotel. I’m ordering another set for my husband. No more messy suitcases!

These cubes held clothes for a winter day, for a family of four. Each day separated made packing and unpacking a breeze.

perfect. I have had this set for several years I have used all sizes multiple times. I received my first set as a gift and thought I may never use it because I thought I traveled well without the extra bags. Later, when I wondered how I had ever traveled without them, I gifted a set to someone who initially felt the way I had.Now, we both find these bags essential. The sizes are perfect for clothes, make-up, medicines, etc. and make each item easy to locate without rifling through a suitcase.They are very light, they take up very little space when empty, they are durable, they wipe off easily with a damp cloth, the zippers are sturdy, and the mesh top lets one see the contents and yet is sturdy enoughnot to snag.I have not written a review this lengthy about any other product. The price is incredibly low for the quality. If there were a ten star option, I would give the bags ten stars.
