The CALPAK Packing Cubes Set (5 Pieces) covers a medium or large suitcase with one purchase. It includes two small cubes at 12 x 9.25 x 3.25 inches, a medium cube at 15 x 11.5 x 3.5 inches (9.8 L), a large cube at 16.75 x 12 x 3.5 inches (11.5 L) and a 13 x 10 inch water-resistant envelope (3 L) for toiletries or damp swimwear. Each piece is polyester with mesh panels to show the contents, and the cubes have carrying handles and an organizing label. CALPAK sells the set in more than 15 colors and prints and offers personalization for $25 per piece. The list price is $68; CALPAK's Black Friday sale cut it to $54.40 when we checked, but the color we viewed was marked final sale with no returns or exchanges. There is no compression zipper, so this set keeps a suitcase tidy rather than making room.
