Unfortunately, we currently do not offer individual packing cubes, and this is because of a number of reasons:
- We think about, plan, and decide according to how we can best help travelers and backpackers. With this, we found that sets of 4 and 7 are the ideal sizes to help you best organize your things. A packing cube each for your shirts, trousers, and underwear; a laundry bag which doubles as a day bag; plus, even a waterproof compartment to enable you to store wet belongings safely.
- As a small start-up, offering sets are also more financially feasible for us. At Travel Dude, we highly value functionality, quality, sustainability and fair working conditions, all the while making sure our products don’t break the bank — yours, as well as ours.
- If we start offering individual packing cubes right now, we would have to increase the price of each cube so we can account for production and logistics.
- We would also need to invest more financially, which we currently and unfortunately cannot do.
- An alternative to keep selling at a low price would be to stop using high-quality recycled materials (like many big corporations), but that is something that no longer mirrors our values.
Now, you may wonder why we can’t just re-pack the sets we already have to create a custom set for you. Here’s why:
- Our packing cubes are already packed in our production hall in sets of 4 and 7. They are then shipped to our warehouse where your orders get fulfilled from. Re-packing them would mean: (1) additional service to do so would be required; (2) waste could be generated from tearing original packaging; and (3) there would be unsold leftover packing cubes.
In an ideal world, we would, of course, love to sell our packing cubes individually and in various set sizes and colors. But at the moment, we highly take into account what’s best for us as a small company, what’s best for our customers and most especially, what’s best for the environment.

Not only highly recommended for backpackers, but also if you simply travel with your suitcase. The compression zippers work great and you can pack a lot very space saving. I’m a standard size 14, so my clothes are not tiny. I had 2 Turkish towels, 3 shorts, 2 trousers, a skirt, dress, jumpsuit, swimsuit, 2 blouses and loads of vests and tee shirts( too many, didn’t wear them all). Also had underwear, nightdress, shoes and a pair of socks. I like the wet clothes bag great if you want that last swim before packing to come home.

Great for any trolley, bags or backpack.
Everything in order with a lot of space saving.
Very very useful the cube with wet and dry separation. I bought other sets for Christmas gifts.
