Save space in your suitcases with compressible bags!
When you're packing for a trip to Cuba, you always want to bring as much as you can - whether for yourself or to share with your Cuban friends. But between clothes, small gifts, toiletries and all the rest, space quickly runs out...
That's where squeezable bags become your best allies!
What is a compression bag?
Compressible bags (also known as compression bags) are simple pouches in which you store your clothes or items, then remove the air to reduce their volume. Some models close with a watertight zip system, while others use a valve to let the air out manually or with a vacuum cleaner. Result: saves up to 75% space in your suitcase!
Why use them?
✅Optimize every cubic centimeter of your luggage
✅ Bring more stuff without exceeding weight limits
✅Separate clean and dirty clothes on the return journey
✅ Protect your clothes from moisture or odors
✅ Keep your belongings organized and visible
The perfect tip for generous travelers
If you're like me, you love bringing gifts, clothes, school supplies and the like for your Cuban friends. But fitting all that into a single suitcase can quickly become a headache... With compressible bags, you save space without sacrificing what you want to give!
So, are you ready to pack like a champ?
Don't forget: every centimeter you save is another souvenir or gift to bring to your friends in Cuba 💼
