Packing Cubes by Peak Design: organise your travel bag with ease
Packing a travel bag is often a tough job, as you always want to take more than will fit in the bag. Once you have finished weighing up which items you want to leave at home, the next difficulty arises: keeping the contents of your bag well-organised during the trip. If, after a while, the contents of your travel bag have become a mess, you are not alone.
Which storage pouches belong to the Peak Design Travel Line?
To tackle the common dissatisfaction of a messy travel bag, Peak Design has created the Travel Line. This line consists of various backpacks and duffel bags, supplemented with practical Cubes and four types of pouches, each with its own function. Photographers can safely carry their cameras in a Camera Cube, while the Packing Cubes are ideal for neatly packing clothes.
These storage solutions make it easy to organise your travel bag and keep it organised. They fit perfectly in a Peak Design Travel bag, but you can of course use them in any travel bag.
What Peak Design Packing Cubes and Pouches are available?
Packing cubes - Organise and keep your clothes tidy in your travel bag
Camera cubes - Organise and protect your camera gear
Tech pouch - Store all your loose cables
Wash pouch - Compact and water-repellent toiletries bag with hook
Shoe pouch - Store your shoes cleanly and compactly

Packing Cubes with compression zipper - Organise your clothes in your travel bag
The Peak Design Packing Cubes with compression zips are indispensable for anyone who wants to travel organised. These handy storage bags are available in Small and Medium sizes and help you pack your clothes neatly and keep them wrinkle-free.
The Packing Cubes are available in Charcoal (dark grey), Sage (sage green), Ibis (bright orange-flamingo), Ocean (blue) and Eclipse (dark purple).
By using different coloured pouches, you can easily create a smart layout. For example, use a small green Packing Cube for socks and underwear, and a blue one for swimwear, pyjamas or accessories such as a belt or hair straightener.
By organising your bag with Packing Cubes, you always have an overview, save space and never have to search for loose items in your luggage again. Unpacking at your destination is also faster, because you simply put the cubes in the wardrobe. They are perfect for both short trips and long journeys.
What fits in a Peak Design Packing Cube?
Peak Design Packing Cubes come in two sizes: Small and Medium. What fits inside depends on whether you have compressed the cube with the compression zip or not.
In the examples below, the storage bag has been compressed.
- Small - handy for underwear, socks, pyjamas and T-shirts.
- 7 T-shirts + 3 pairs of socks.
- Pyjamas + 5 pairs of underwear + 5 pairs of socks.
- Jogging trousers + sweatshirt.
- Bikini/swimming trunks + pyjamas + 4 pairs of underwear + 4 pairs of socks.
- 10 to 12 T-shirts.
- Medium - useful for T-shirts, shirts, blouses and trousers.
- 4 jumpers + 2 T-shirts
- Thick jumper + jogging bottoms + 2 pairs of shorts + 1 pair of jeans.
- 4 T-shirts + 2 pairs of jeans + 2 thin jumpers
- 20 to 24 T-shirts
Create a compact package with the compression zippers
Both formats have a compression zip. Pack the cube, close it and then zip up the compression zip. This turns the storage bag into a neat, compact package that fits easily into your bag – for example, in your hand luggage.
Two compartments - separate clean and dirty clothes
The Packing Cubes have an additional advantage: two separate compartments. Handy for separating clean and dirty clothes. During your trip, you will naturally fill one compartment with items from the other. This keeps your luggage organised and fresh.
Ultra Light Packing Cube – organise loose items clearly
In addition to the standard Packing Cubes for clothing, there are also Ultra Light Packing Cubes. These are incredibly handy for keeping all the other loose items in your bag organised.
The Ultra Light Packing Cubes are available in three sizes: Small, XSmall and XXSmall. You can put anything in them, from small items to awkwardly shaped objects.
Examples of use:
- Camping: a small first aid kit, mosquito repellent, sunscreen, pocket knife and other accessories.
- Travelling: keeping chargers, cables, adapters and small electronics together.
- Daily use: neatly storing toiletries, make-up or small office supplies.
Camera Cubes V2 - Organise and protect your camera gear
The Peak Design Camera Cube V2 is available in the following sizes: X-Small, Small, S-Medium, Medium, Large and X-Large. These handy storage cubes are designed to protect your camera kit and keep it in place in a Peak Design camera bag. For photographers, the Camera Cube is definitely the most essential storage cube of all the Travel Line pouches.
Small Camera Cube
Medium Camera Cube
Large Camera Cube
How much camera gear fits in a Peak Design Camera Cube V2?
The contents of the Peak Design Camera Cubes vary depending on the size. The Camera Cube Small fits at least one camera body with a medium-sized lens, or a compact drone kit. The Medium and Large Camera Cubes can obviously hold more equipment. Think of multiple bodies, extra lenses, or larger accessories. Thanks to the flexible layout, you will rarely run out of space.
What does Peak Design mean by a “Unit”?
How many of these storage cubes fit in your bag depends, of course, on the size of your duffel bag or travel rucksack. Peak Design indicates this in “units”. The size of the Small cube is 1 unit, a Medium cube is 2 units and the Large cube is 3 units. So if your camera bag can hold 3 units, you know exactly which combinations you can make. Camera cubes cannot be stacked on top of each other, as is possible with the Package cubes and other pouches.
Creating layouts with movable partition walls
After unzipping the cube, you will see that the flap has subtle ridges. These make it easy to bend or roll up the flap, giving you quicker access to your gear. Each cube comes with a set of removable dividers. The number and type of dividers included varies depending on the size. These Camera Cubes make travelling with photo, video or drone equipment a lot easier.

Securely fasten the Camera Cube in your travel bag with C-clips
The Peak Design Camera Cubes V2 are tailor-made for the bags in the Peak Design Travel Line. You can also use them in other brands of backpacks or duffels, but then you miss out on the advantage of the C-clip system.
The outside of the Camera Cubes has loops that allow you to easily attach the included C-clips to the inside of a Peak Design bag. When placing the Camera Cube in your travel bag, always secure it at four points. With the Large Camera Cube, this is even possible at six points. This keeps the cube securely in place and prevents it from sliding around while travelling.
Using Peak Design Anchor Links
The cubes also have loops to attach the famous Anchor links. This way, you can carry the storage cube in combination with a Peak Design Strap as a shoulder bag. This comes in handy at locations where you are not allowed to enter with a large backpack, such as museums. It is also great if you don't want to leave your precious camera gear in the dormitory of your hostel or in the locker at the train station. The Camera Cube provides excellent protection for your gear against shocks and bumps, but not against theft!
Tech Pouch - store all your loose cables
The Tech pouch comes in two sizes: regular and small. You can choose from several colours: black, charcoal (dark grey), Kelp, Ocean, Coyote and Eclipse. This attractive pouch has lots of compartments for neatly storing your charger, power bank, smartphone, SD cards and all kinds of other cables and accessories.
"This beautiful pouch has a lot of compartments to keep all your accessories in orderly fashion."
These types of accessories are often sensitive to moisture. Because the exterior of this pouch, including the zip, is weatherproof, your belongings will stay nice and dry in the Tech Pouch.
A bonus feature of this pouch are the loops for attaching your Anchor on the left side. With the help of the Peak Design Strap, you can transform it into a compact shoulder bag for everyday use. This is especially useful when you are travelling and don't want to take your entire travel backpack with you.
Wash Pouch (small) - compact and water-repellent toilet bag with hook
When travelling, you cannot avoid bringing a number of toiletries with you. The Wash Pouch is designed specifically for this purpose. This convenient water-repellent toilet bag is available in black, Coyote, Ocean, Kelp, and Eclipse. Initially, the Wash Pouch was only available in one size, but with the expansion of the Travel Line, a smaller version is now also available.
Which toiletries fit in the Wash pouch?
The standard Wash Pouch offers enough space for all your toiletries, from shampoo to electric razor. The compact version (small) is ideal for minimalist travellers who only take the essentials with them.
Inside, you will find several mesh pockets to keep your belongings organised, such as:
- Toothpaste and toothbrush
- Shampoo and shower gel
- Deodorant
- Other toiletries
A smart detail is the separate compartment with magnetic closure. Here you can store your toothbrush, for example. Although the compartment closes securely, a toothbrush holder remains the more hygienic choice.
Keep your toilet bag clean and hang it up conveniently
The interior dividers can be easily cleaned under the tap in the unfortunate event that your shampoo bottle leaks. Or simply to freshen up your toiletries bag when you get home. Finally, there is a hook hidden in a compartment on the outside. This allows you to hang the Wash Pouch on another object: shower curtain rod, shower rack, towel rack, etc. This is no longer unique to toilet bags, as it is very practical when there is no (clean) surface available to put it on.
Shoe Pouch - store your shoes neatly and compactly
In the Shoe Pouch you place - you guessed it - your shoes. At least one pair of shoes fits in one pouch. At least, because you can often fit a second pair in there too. Make sure the tops of the shoes are turned towards each other, or the soles towards each other. That way, the sole of one shoe will not dirty the other.
"At least, because it is often possible to put in a second pair."
This airtight foldable bag is made from a single piece of very sturdy nylon and has a sturdy zip to close it. The Shoe Pouch has loops for Archor Links as well as loops for the c-clip system. Because shoes are often heavier (and bulkier) than the rest of your gear, it is wise to secure them to the inside of your bag with the C-clips. Of course, you don't have to put shoes in it; you are free to decide for yourself what to put in this handy bag. The Shoe Pouch is available in Charcoal (grey), Sage (sage green) and Eclipse (purple-red).
Packable Tote V2 - sturdy, lightweight, foldable carrier bag
The Peak Design Packable Tote V2 is a durable foldable carrier bag. The carrier bag is made from a single piece of recycled ripstop 70D nylon fabric. This means there are fewer seams that can tear if you overfill it. And what about the robust zip closure that ensures the contents cannot roll out of the bag?
In addition to being handy when travelling, it is also an ideal bag for your daily shopping, storing your drawing supplies or simply taking your lunch to the office. Not in use? Then fold it up compactly.
The tote also has a water-repellent coating. So all your belongings stay nice and dry when it rains. If you turn the bag inside out, any damp contents, such as a wet towel, should keep the condensation inside.
Available in Charcoal, Ibis, Ocean, Eclipse and Sage.
