This debate seems to be everlasting, from the very first time such innovations in packing were introduced up until the present day. Some might, for instance, argue that folding clothes preserves the essential shape of the item in a way that rolling does not. Equally, a detractor might retort that such a belief is unfounded. Logic does, in fact, suggest that rolling puts fewer creases into the original article of clothing. Even still, the best way to roll clothes for packing is to fold them into a rectangular shape to begin with, thus eradicating any extremist answers to this debate on both sides. Sadly, there has not been much academic or scientific study into the particulars of this debate, so we must draw our own conclusions and act accordingly.
