Airlines set a maximum weight for cabin baggage, and that limit applies to the empty case just as much as to what gets packed inside it, which is exactly where ABS carry on luggage earns its advantage. ABS carry on luggage starts from a lighter shell...

A plain ABS shell and an ABS shell with a polycarbonate film applied over it can start from the same base structure and end up performing quite differently on the surface. An ABS PC suitcase keeps the underlying ABS body largely intact and adds a thi...

Hard-shell luggage buyers usually choose a material before they choose a specific case, and that choice tends to come down to a trade-off between weight, price, and rigidity. ABS hard case luggage occupies a specific position in that trade-off — not ...

Push a two-wheel suitcase and it tilts toward you, pivoting on a fixed axis at the base. An ABS 4 wheel hard trolley does something different — it stands upright and rolls beside the traveler in any direction, which changes the physics of moving the ...

EVA Fabric Luggage Combines Textile Handling With Structured Support EVA Fabric Luggage is gaining attention as luggage developers look for alternatives to fully rigid cases. Its construction combines an EVA-based outer material with a fabric-like su...

Suitcase shells aren't always made from one plastic. Many hard-shell cases on the market blend two resins together to balance cost against impact resistance, which is exactly the step 100% ABS luggage skips entirely. Understanding what that single-ma...

Distributors sourcing hard-shell luggage for the North American market keep raising a compliance question that rarely comes up in other export categories: is TSA-recognized lock hardware actually standard equipment on an ABS luggage set headed for th...

Baggage handlers move suitcases through a rougher environment than travelers ever see, and that reality is exactly why cracking patterns in luggage PP material get so much attention from manufacturers and testing labs. A shell that looks fine in a sh...
