eli5 does folding a shirt one way over another method change its volume occupied in a suitcase

In: 55

Answer 1

I find that while rolling it doesn’t necessarily make it smaller, it’s easier to pack more into the suitcase.

Be wary though, easy to overfill the bag just because you can fit it. Learned this the hard way with a heavy backpack on a European trip. Had to ditch some items.
