Pick up packing tips from The Planet Traveller exhibition at the Paragon atrium between Friday and Aug 31.

Apart from luggage collection launches from brands such as Victorinox, Harmann and Briggs & Riley, the exhibition promises travel solution gadgets to help ease packing and luggage security woes.

For business travellers, the Eagle Creek Pack-It system helps keep shirts wrinkle-free and organised during travel.

It can hold up to eight pairs of trousers or shirts in one bag.

Travel sentry approved locks and straps are also available for those who travel frequently to the United States.

The locks enable security personnel to open locked luggage with a master key without breaking the lock.

For people who prefer to travel light, there is even a range of odourresistant T-shirts, singlets and underwear for men and women. The material prevents skin abrasions and takes only three hours to air-dry.

There is also the Belle Hop personal alarm for women travelling alone. The small and inconspicuous gadget blares out an alarm that will send any suspicious persons running in the opposite direction.

For more travel gadgets and accessories, visit A Gateway To Travel Solution, Paragon Atrium, Friday to Aug 31.
