This is a simple tip, but it can really help when you are away from home, especially with little children, big children too! Because my children are mostly teenagers who pack for themselves, it is easier if they all have their own bag. These duffel bags are great because even though they are compact, they will easily hold a week's worth of clothes for each person, that is, if you pack them tightly. I think the best way to do that is to roll your clothes.
I have the kids lay out one whole day's outfit like this picture above. Pants/shorts on the bottom, then the shirt, underwear and socks. Start at the waistband and roll everything into a tight roll, just like you would a sleeping bag.
I usually just put the roll into my bag at this point, but it really helps if you add a rubberband around the roll in the middle, especially for kids packing. Then their rolls will stay tight and they can pull out several to decide which outfit they want for the day, without unrolling everything.
