No, rolling your clothes does not make your suitcase heavier, as the physical mass of the clothing remains constant regardless of its shape. However, rolling is a far more efficient use of space than traditional folding, which can lead to a "density trap" for travelers. Because rolling compresses the air out of the fabric and allows you to fit significantly more items into the same volume, it becomes much easier to accidentally exceed the airline's weight limit. For example, a suitcase that looks "half-full" when folded might be within weight limits, but if you roll your clothes, you might fit 30% more garments into that same space, pushing a 20kg bag up to 26kg. To manage this, experienced travelers often use packing cubes in conjunction with rolling to organize their gear and frequently use a handheld digital luggage scale. Essentially, while the technique of rolling itself adds zero grams to your load, the result of being able to pack more efficiently often tempts travelers into overpacking, resulting in a heavier bag at the check-in counter.
