Organizing Your New Expandable Backpack

At Junyuan, we’re a bunch of self-professed design nerds – and we’re obsessed with pocket design. The Junyuan design team was very intentional when designing each pocket in the Junyuan Backpack, testing different objects (cell phones, headphones, laptops, etc) to ensure that the bag functioned beautifully.

And one of our favorite things to talk about is how team members and Junyuan packers organize and pack their Junyuan Pack. We’ve had a few Junyuan packers write in and request tips for organizing their laptop backpack, so we’ve each shared our packing tips below.

Do you pack unique items in your Junyuan Pack? We’d love to hear about it! Share your packing photo on Instagram or Twitter, and be sure to tag @qzjunyuan.

Top Packing Tips for an Organized Knack Pack Backpack

Before we talk about what we put in each pocket, we wanted to share some common mistakes people make when trying to pack an organized backpack:

Organization Tip #1: Assign Pockets for Regular Items

Do you find yourself having to dig through a bag multiple times to make sure you have all your items? Save time (and stress in the morning!) by packing the same thing in the same spot. “Keep your everyday things in the same pockets whether you’re travelling or going to work. Never move them around and they’ll always be where you need them to be.”

Organization Tip #2: Packing Sequence

“Start packing stuff with fixed shapes first (e.g. electronics) and then add the stuff you can bend and manipulate (e.g. clothes.),” shares Zeke. “Start with the big stuff and then add the small stuff later. Keep in mind that using space in one compartment might take away space from another one, so packing this way ensures the optimal use of space.”

Organization Tip #3: Packing an Organized Backpack for a Work Trip or Vacation

“Roll, roll, roll!” shares Keith Bristol. “I roll everything and use our compressible packing cubes to save on space. If I pack shoes, I pack the lightest shoes that can compress.”

Adds Chad, “Pack the heaviest items at the bottom of the travel compartment: it’s easier on your back to carry. I also make sure to bring the dust bag that came with my Junyuan Pack as a laundry bag. I always leave it stashed in one of the mesh pockets.”

We loved this video! Here’s what she had to say about her new Junyuan Pack and packing cubes: . “Had some serious fun packing today for my trip this weekend. Wouldn’t it be be nice for your stuff to pack itself. Good thing I’m a wizard. Ignore the string it’s not there I’ve been working with @qzjunyuan to make some cool content. As a girl with over 20 backpacks this is truly one of my favorites look how much stuff I fit in there, and there is more space! I’ve been trying to de-clutter my life and the knack pack is replacing 5 backpacks.” . #sheisnotlost #passionpassport #womenwhoexplore #seeyououtthere #carryonbag #womenwhotravel #onebaglife

Bonus Tip #4: How to Avoid Overpacking

“Before I start packing, I lay all my stuff on the bed and ask myself ‘Do I really need this’” shares Zeke. “It’s tempting to bring everything you think you might need, but traveling light makes the experience so much more enjoyable. And unless you’re going to a remote location, you can always buy anything you want at your destination.
