travel size

Pocket-friendly product format

Travel size describes products packaged in small containers that comply with airline carry-on restrictions or fit easily in luggage.

The term applies especially to toiletries—shampoo, lotion, toothpaste—sold in miniature bottles: I picked up some travel size sunscreen at the airport.

The compound functions as an adjective: travel size deodorant.
