How to Fold a Tie for Travel?

The best way to pack a tie for travel is to roll it, not fold it. Rolling prevents creases and wrinkles while keeping your tie compact and protected.

Here's the rolling method: Lay your tie flat and fold it in half lengthwise, matching up both ends. 

Starting from the narrow end, tightly roll the tie into a cylindrical shape. Place the rolled tie in a ziplock bag or inside a clean shoe in your luggage to prevent it from getting crushed.

For frequent travelers, a tie travel case is worth the investment. Most cases hold 2-6 ties and include pockets for tie bars and cufflinks. They keep your ties flat, organized, and wrinkle-free.

If you prefer flat packing, fold the tie in half end-to-end and layer it between folded shirts. This works best when your luggage contents won't shift during travel.

Never pack a knotted tie, it creates permanent creases. When you arrive, hang your tie immediately to release any minor wrinkles. For stubborn creases, hang the tie in the bathroom while showering, the steam naturally smooths the fabric.
