Helps prevent wrinkled clothes.
Excellent organizer. For a weekend trip, I use one folder for each day. For long trips, I use one folder per clothing category --- shirts, pants, etc.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder - 18":
Yes, this is great for keeping business clothes crisp and wrinkle-free while traveling. But the brilliance of this product is the FOLDING CARD. I use it to fold all my laundry. Shirts fold smoothly and compactly and stack beautifully. Now all my clothes fit in my dresser and the drawers are neat and tidy. It freed up room in my closet. I'm less frustrated by the mess and I can find my clothes easily.
No more messy stacks of T-shirts. They are now easier than ever to organize by color, style, or whatever. I couldn't live without this product.
It would be a real shame to only use this product when you are traveling. It's got practical daily use.

I use this product for dress shirts and pants on business trips. This works just as stated. Minimal to no wrinkles. Fits perfectly in my carry-on bag. I have no criticisms. In fact I just ordered a second one for my son.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder - 18":
I've had the Eagle Creek Pack-It folders for several years, and I love using them. It keeps my stacks of clothing in neat stacks, and minimizes wrinkles. I have an old Eagle Creek travel backpack and it fits perfectly inside with room for shoes, toiletries, and assorted stuff. The folders keep my backpack organized, which is important when I sometimes stay in a different place every night.
Towards the end of the trip, I use the folders to sort my dirty and clean clothes. It's nice to keep them separate. The little bit of extra weight of the folders is worth it. I used to roll up my clothes and put them in stuff sacks. Those days are gone!

This is an awesome organizer, especially if you are travelling for business. My husband got it and loves it. He says that there are no creases on his iorned shirts. My father in law was here in Phoenix and he loved it too. I got 2 of these for him when I went back to India and he likes to show off each time he travels : )) Explains the features to everyone but hard to get him share this goody! Very durable and easy to clean. Must have for travellers.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder - 18":
The first time I saw some of the Pack-It products, I thought they were a ridiculous waste of money. Then I received 2 of the smaller cubes as a gift, and I've been hooked ever since. My luggage is organized and I can find whatever I'm looking for, immediately. I own both sizes of Pack-It Folders, 7 of the "old-style" shoe bags, 10 single sided Cubes ranging from one-quarter to double size, 4 double sided half size Cubes, and 8 or 9 Sacs ranging from XS to Large. Most of my Pack-It products are the same color, but it does help to have multiple colors, especially if I need to use several of the same size at the same time. I use the one-quarter Cubes and XSmall Sacs in my purse to keep small items from migrating to the very bottom. I even use Pack-Its in my motorcycle saddlebags because I can pack more into the limited space. My advice? Buy any of these Eagle Creek Pack-It products and you'll never spend another minute of your vacation ironing clothes.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder - 18":
I was skeptical at first but absolutely won over. Now it is second nature to use this. The folder decreases the volume of the clothes and thereby increases room for other luggage contents or allows for use of a smaller piece of luggage and results in less wrinkles when care is taken in packing this properly. However the resulting density allows for packing more into a given suitcase and as a result a 28" wheeled luggage can, when fully packed, weigh greater than the allowed 20 or 22 kg international limit. Since the clothing properly folded and placed in the folder is the most efficient use of the space, the used, dirty clothes can be refolded and placed in the folder at the bottom of the stack separated from the clean clothes by the supplied folding board. This is the source of the only improvement I can think of for this item: 2 folding cards rather than one would be a help. Also, two folders might be better than one for long trips. On a 3 to 5 month sojourn requiring athletic, hiking, business, and casual clothes, I routinely fill the folder with 20 or more items (e.g.4 long and four short sleeve shirts, two pair long and two pair short pants, 5 boxers, one t-shirt, one Lacoste tennis shirt, one bathing suit and one pair gym shorts. When passing through warm and cooler climates, it would be better to separate the two sets of clothes in two folders. The resulting convenience may outweigh the increased use of space and increased weight. Also, when urban tourist backpacking, the folder can be removed from the pack in the hostel making all clothes easily accessible and much less rumpled than the usual backpacking experience. However, prior consideration of the backpack opening and the encroachment of the internal frame on the pack cavity will avoid a mismatch. This is an excellent product.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder - 18":
This packing solution is different from typical packing cubes - each Pack-It has a thin polyethylene sheet on the bottom and a similar size/weight/thickness sheet that is "loose" to use as a folding board. When you are done folding your clothes, you place the loose sheet on top of your folded clothes, and then Velcro the top panels together tightly, effectively sandwiching your clothing between two thin sheets with a fabric wrapper around them. The Velcro system allows you to adjust the degree of cinching to match the amount you are packing.
The beauty of this solution is three-fold: unlike guessing where to fold your clothing, you have a clothing-retailer style folding board with instructions so that each item of clothing (shirts, pants, etc.) is optimally folded both in terms of preventing wrinkles and in terms of space efficiency; your clothing won't shift; and the plastic panels protect your bundle from the pressure or other packed items.
This solution is perfect where you have fairly flat clothing (pants, shirts, etc.) that you must keep wrinkle free. It is unnecessary and inefficient for smaller lumpy items (socks, underwear) and may be overkill for unironed clothing like blue jeans and polo shirts - assuming your luggage has tie-downs or panels.
Where the Pack-Its REALLY shine, though, is when they are used to add some much-needed rigidity to soft-sided luggage (large bookpacks, convertible suitcase/backpacks, duffels, etc.). With soft-sided luggage, the Pack-Its make up for their extra weight by acting as an "endoskeleton" for the soft-sided bag.
Even where the bag doesn't need much help with rigidity - a smaller Pack-It inside a day pack - it works a lot better than a packing cube because the Pack-It won't slump or shift.
The 18" should be your starting size. Unless you are small bodied, it will be hard to make the 15" work. The 20" is for suits, and won't fit some soft-sided luggage.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-It Folder - 18":
I have used both the 15-inch and the 18-inch Pack-It folder, but find the larger size to fold and fit my 16-1/2 x 36/37 shirts better. One can easily fit four long-sleeve shirts, plus another two short-sleeve polo shirts, and a light sweater, as a typical load. Ties can also be loaded between the layers of shirts, to keep them unwrinkled as well. One or two pair of pants then can be wrapped around the closed folder. For those who prefer to travel with an unframed carry on bag, this arrangement provides a "frame" for the case.
