Pack like a pro with storage bags

 

Staying organized while traveling is key to enjoying your trip. To help keep all your things in order, you can use various storage bags. DIMPA storage bags are ideal for storing clothes, shoes, or accessories. These can help you organize your essentials while keeping everything compact. They also come with sturdy handles, making them easy to grab and go.

 

RENSARE bags can store clothes, shoes, or other items like cosmetics and hygiene products so they don’t get scattered inside your suitcase.

PARKLA shoe bags are great for organizing footwear and can fit a pair of large shoes or even two pairs of small ones. They help you pack every shoe you need while saving space in your luggage. 

If you’re looking for a large bag to carry everything from clothes to shoes and pretty much anything under the sun, the FRAKTA storage bag can be your new go-to. Roomy and durable, it is the ultimate travel companion. The best part is it folds flat so you can simply throw it in your car’s trunk or into your suitcase and take it out when you need it.

Keep food fresh even when on-the-go

Nothing says road trip like a lot of packed food! To keep food fresh, pack it in ISTAD resealable bags, which are perfect for sandwiches, fruits, or other snacks. They’re airtight and durable, ensuring your food stays fresh until you’re ready to enjoy it.

IKEA 365+ food storage solutions are perfect for packing larger portions or leftovers. They’re durable, microwave-safe, and can keep food fresh throughout your journey.

Remember to hydrate, too. The IKEA 365+ water bottle is a great travel companion that keeps you hydrated while on the go. Its practical design makes it easy to refill and carry during your trip. 

Traveling to the beach?

If your travels take you to the beach, you need to make sure you have all the right gear. The STRANDÖN series is the perfect companion for a picnic, a day at the beach, or an outdoor concert. Every item in the series is easy to carry and comfortable to use. These colorful and practical pieces are essential for outdoor relaxation.
