I am getting back into the desire of traveling more again in my life. Taking my wife on some road trips across the country is in the works. We took a drive from Ohio to Nevada about nine years ago. I wish we had the ShelfPack suitcase with us, it would have made packing so much easier.
Let me start off by saying it was a pleasure to get a chance to review this suitcase from ShelfPack. They believe in their product and if you have questions, they take the time to answer them to your satisfaction.
So what are the 4 reasons you are going to love this suitcase? 4 separate shelves that can be used to organize your items in a neat and efficient way.
You can use a shelf for men’s socks and underwear. You can use the next shelf for a woman’s bras and panties. Next shelf you can put a man’s pants and shirts, and lastly the last shelf you can use for her pants/skirts and shirts that she is going to wear.

Coming out of the box, everything was easy to set up. I unzipped the suitcase and the top of it is a webbed fabric that stays in place standing up. Lifting the handles up on the inside of the bag was a breeze. Just press the buttons in the middle of the handle and lift. The four shelves hang on the two extended handles that were raised and there you go, organized and ready to start your vacation or business trip.
There are also 4 large zippered pockets on the outer shell of the suitcase. One that goes about half way down the length of the outside, and the 3 external ones as well. You can put electronics in there, medicine, toiletries and so much more.
When I was doing research on the ShelfPack, they had an excellent idea. Once the shelves are lifted out of the suitcase, either hanging from the handles, or in a closet in the room. You can now use the bottom for clothes you have already used and then just put the shelves in on top when you are done with whatever is left. Will make laundry a breeze when you return.
The material that the ShelfPack is made of seems very durable and easy to clean if something was to get on it. The zippers are firm and did not seem loose at all. I am very pleased with the construction of this bag. The only downside I can see about the bag is that it is slightly heavier than other suitcases. This is because of the structure inside the bag that makes it work so well. After using it some I found that I got used to it, but the weight of it did not hinder me from enjoying the practicality of it.
My thoughts are this is the perfect bag use if you might be tired of packing two separate bags on previous trips that you have made. This is also great for that single traveler who might have 2-3 weeks of traveling to do, and you need and extensive wardrobe to accompany you. I can see my wife and I using this for some time while we take on the world!
Check ShelfPack out on Facebook and Twitter as well.
This suitcase might make the perfect gift idea for that student heading off to college for the first time, or that person who loves to do a good deal of traveling and might need something that can take most of their wardrobe in one bag.
So how many pieces of luggage do you currently travel with? Wouldn’t it be nice to condense some of that down? What do you think is your favorite feature of the ShelfPack Suitcase?

My husband and I travel frequently and this bag would be perfect. I am afraid to use the drawers in the hotel for fear of bedbugs coming home with me. This would keep everything organized and easily accessible.
ellen beck says
I dont get to travel much but if I did, I would really like this. I like how it is shelves and unlike a suitcase, you dont have to go digging around so much disturbing other things or trying to remember where you tucked something. This just makes sense.
Rhonda Best says
This is an awesome idea and great review.
Tom Shewbridge says
Thank you!
Lynne B says
This is a novel product. I’ve never seen this before. I can see how this would be helpful if you’re traveling and don’t want to use hotel drawers.
Amber Ludwig says
This is seriously awesome!! I love it because I never use drawers in a hotel so instead of digging like crazy through a suitcase I could have my own shelves!!
Anna Mitchell says
Wow this looks like a really great suitcase!
Dawn Lopez says
WOW Tom! This suitcase is nothing short of amazing. I definitely need one of these in my life!
Linda Manns Linneman says
This is so nice. I have never seen anything like this before. I am in need of a suitcase. Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless
Tom Shewbridge says
I love mine!
Lauryn R says
Wow, this is such a great idea! I am surprised that no one has thought of it before. As someone that has traveled and lived out of my suitcase A LOT, I can definitely appreciate this one. The built in shelves would be so handy, as I never unpack unless I am staying over a week. And even then, this would make it so you don’t leave anything behind on accident, which is always a concern of mine. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
Tamra Phelps says
That is a pretty good idea. I have to admit I hadn’t seen anything like it before. I’d try it.
Sohair says
This is fantastic never seen it before
Ashley Chassereau Parks says
This is such a cool suitcase!! This would be amazing for traveling with my hubby and kids! All our stuff gets mixed up and hard to find… I think this would solve that problem!
denise low says
I think this is really cool. So much room in this suitcase.
Deb E says
What a unique suitcase and I would certainly consider it a good investment If I was a frequent traveler. It looks like it could make your travels so much easier. I have a wonky wrist and need wheels on many of my storage things but this has so many more great features.
Renee Rousseau says
The ShelfPack suitcase is such a clever invention! I love it for the time saving ease of unpacking and how easy it is to stay organized and find things so easily!
Sarah L says
What a clever invention. Would be great to travel with.
donna porter says
I love this suitcase. This would be perfect for me since I take lots when we travel. I never knew this type of luggage existed!
Holly Thomas says
This would have been perfect for my husband when he was traveling all the time for his job.
tammy ohagan says
At first glance I thought this was a crazy idea. How many times do you go to a hotel that does not have enough storage for one suitcase worth of clothing? But then I though of a use for me. When I have to travel to many places in a short time I usually will not unpack my suitcase. I’ll just set it on that folding suitcase thingy, and live right out of it. This would be nice to just set down, pop up, use for a day, collapse then leave to next port. This could be a nice time saver. However I wonder A. How much weight it adds, and B. how much space do you sacrifice.
Tom Shewbridge says
Hi Tammy,
Thanks for your reply. It is slightly heavier than most suitcases, but that is to allow for the framing that allows it to do what it does. As far as space, it has a great deal of it. I had a hard time filling it on my last 4 day road trip.

Shane A says
Wow this is an amazing invention! I’d love this. I’d rather use this then the hotel racks.
Edward says
This is so cool. It. would be great for vacations/traveling.
Richard Hicks says
This is a really neat suitcase and something I would consider buying
Lisa says
A place to put our belongings on shelves. During traveling and not having to move to drawers. This is a great suitcase.
Cynthia R says
This is a great idea! We often travel and find hotels have inadequate drawer space or closest. Either that or you don’t think it’s very clean in the drawers and don’t want to use them. It being slightly heavier doesn’t bother me but it is still pretty pricey…
Anne Marie Carter says
Wow! This is an amazing suitcase! Everything is so organized and handy. I have to get it for my husband.
Kimberly Flickinger says
I need one of these to simplify my life when it comes to packing for trips. Thank you for sharing your review.
Sandy Klocinski says
Awesome idea! This is so cool! It’s been awhile since I traveled but this would have made it much easier

This would be a great thing for me,I tend to take a lot with me when I’m away from home,this has room for it all! Two thumbs up from me
Cynthia C says
What an innovative design! Looks like they thought of everything.
Marti Tabora says
As soon as I saw this I was in love with it. This is so awesome. It would be so nice to have this when travelling to keep me from digging through my entire suitcase to find one item.
Tom Shewbridge says

It will do just that, help you keep organized. Thanks for the comment, have a great day!

This is such a neat suitcase! The shelves make it super easy to see what you have packed.

Dana says
Wow. I’ve never seen a suitcase that opens up to shelves! This is like having a dresser with you. I never unpack when I oh on vacation and with this I wouldn’t feel as guilty about it.
Tom Shewbridge says

Thanks for your review! I am very impressed with the ShelfPack Suitcase. It’s been quite some time since I last traveled, but I can see how having this available would have made my travels so much nicer. I love the shelves to keep your items organized. It’s almost like having a mini dresser with you!
