Travellers who like to pack light can save even more space with a backpack so compact in size it is no bigger than a pack of snack size chips, according to PAKItToMe Backpacks.

The light weight but sturdy eco-wise backpacks fold out to a generously sized pack with adjustable straps, side pockets and a front pocket with a keychain to safely attach your keys to the inside.

EnviroTrend and PAKItToMe director and co-founder Janina Byrne said the backpacks are handy for travellers due to its size and capabilities.

“It has saved the day for many travellers who might have lost items from their carry-on luggage going through security which they were able to pop into their PAKitToMe and check in with the rest of their luggage.

Ms Byrne said the light weight packs can hold up to eight kilograms so when you get to your destination it makes a great day pack for your camera, phone and water bottle.

“It’s a secure way to carry your belongings with its two side pockets with adjustable toggle for your phone or drink bottle  and a pocket at the front with a keychain to safely attach your keys to the inside – so even if your bag is slashed your keys won’t fall out.
