About this document

A packing list puts the whole trip on one page: each item with its quantity, its category, and — the part memory always drops — which bag it actually goes in. Tick the Packed box as things go into the suitcase, and the blank boxes are your to-do list at a glance.

When to use it

  • You pack the night before and always land missing one category — chargers, meds, or the swimsuit.
  • The household splits things across a carry-on and two checked bags and nobody knows what went where.
  • You take the same kind of trip regularly and want a reusable list to print each time.

Getting it right

  • Assign the bag as you write the list, not as you pack — that's when you notice the carry-on is overbooked.
  • Group by category (documents, clothes, toiletries, electronics, health) so a glance shows what's thin.
  • Print two: one for packing at home, one for repacking the hotel room before checkout.

It's your trip on paper, not a travel guide — it doesn't suggest what to bring, check airline rules, or know the weather.

Common questions

How is this different from the grocery list?
Different job: the grocery list is organized by store aisle for one shopping pass; this one is organized by bag and category so nothing is left on the bed.
What does the Bag column mean?
Where the item travels — carry-on, checked, backpack, the car door pocket. Naming it while listing is what prevents the airport surprise.
Can I reuse it for every trip?
Yes — download a blank one and photocopy it, or keep your filled version and re-download with tweaks per trip.
