The list is grouped the way you pack: documents and money, clothing, toiletries, electronics, and the carry-on bag you keep with you. Around 43 items are already printed, each with its own checkbox, and every section ends with a blank line for the things only your trip needs. Check an item off as it goes into the case rather than when you think of it, and nothing ends up packed twice or left on the bed.

Choose the trip type before you download. A beach trip lists swimsuits, a cover-up, sandals and a sun hat. A business trip lists a suit, dress shirts, smart shoes and a garment bag. A winter trip lists thermal base layers, wool socks, waterproof boots and gloves. The other four sections stay the same in all three, because passports, toothpaste and chargers travel everywhere.

The trip name, the dates, every checkbox and the blank lines are real PDF form fields, so you can fill the sheet on screen and print a copy for each traveler, or print it blank and use a pen. A "Buy before you go" box in the spare space holds whatever you still have to pick up. One page, US Letter or A4.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Pick the trip type

    Beach, business or winter — this is what changes the clothing section. Then choose US Letter or A4.

  2. 2

    Add what the list misses

    Type the trip name and dates, and use the blank line at the end of each section for anything particular to your trip.

  3. 3

    Print or fill it in

    Print at 100% ("Actual size") so lines and boxes keep their exact spacing, or fill the form fields on screen in any PDF viewer.

  4. 4

    Check items off as you pack

    Tick each box as the item goes into the bag, and keep the "Buy before you go" box for what you still need to get.
