Each 18" Packing Folder holds up to 8 to 12 shirts or pants is what they claim. I put 4 pair of slacks and 4 shirts in the bag with no problems at all for room. I am sure it could hold more but that seems to be about all I can get in there and keep the Velcro hooked. This bag can be used as a stand alone carrying bag. I personally put it in my suitcase to protect it even more. It is great for keeping the ironed clothes looking that way on long road trips. I never understood before how unorganized I was until this came into the picture. It is so beneficial and useful.
Now for the bag. It seems to be fairly durable but I would not try over loading it and stretching the stitching. Like any other bag treating it in this manner I am sure it will break down and become unusable. The handle for the bag looks like it is only capable of a few pounds of weight, but that is what it is intended for. The different flaps all fold in and Velcro into place. I am sure after years of use the Velcro will start collecting lint balls, they all do. So take care to keep those cleaned out and this should last for a very long time. Each bag comes with a plastic card showing the proper way to fold shirts to put into the bag. The folding directions may be the most important part of this bag!
If you do a lot of traveling, and you have been doing it without these travel organizers, all I can say is you have been doing it wrong. These things are great for maintaining ironed shirts. I am sure it would work as well with pants or skirts. I would like to thank Dot & Dot and affiliates for sending me this organizer to try out and leave my opinion.
