Every journey, whether a family vacation, a business trip, or the movement of goods across cities, depends on one often-overlooked factor: packaging. While packaging is frequently associated with aesthetics or protection, small, thoughtful improvements can significantly enhance convenience, efficiency and sustainability throughout the travel ecosystem. Karthik Venkataraman, CPRO, VeTravel – Vernost and Bernard Corraya, General Manager (India), Wego, shared small packing changes that can make every journey easier.
Pack according to your itinerary rather than just in case
Planning outfits and essentials based on your destination, weather, and activities helps reduce overpacking and keeps luggage lighter.
Check your airline’s baggage policy before packing
Bernard Corraya said, “Weight limits and cabin baggage allowances vary by airline, and reviewing them in advance can help travellers avoid excess baggage fees and last-minute repacking at the airport.” Karthik Venkataraman highlighted that for businesses, the impact is even greater. Optimised packaging reduces shipping volume, improves storage efficiency and lowers transportation costs.
