1. When purchasing luggage, choose a product with the appropriate size and material based on your personal needs. Hard-shell suitcases generally offer resistance to high temperatures, abrasion, impacts, water, and compression; their rigid exterior protects contents from crushing and impact, though they typically have a fixed internal capacity. Soft-sided suitcases provide more flexible storage space, are usually lightweight and durable, and often feature an attractive design, making them better suited for short trips.

2. When in use, the parts of luggage most prone to damage are the telescoping handle, wheels, and carrying handle; these should be carefully inspected at the time of purchase. To choose the appropriate handle length, consumers can ensure it allows for smooth pulling without requiring them to bend over. After repeatedly extending and retracting the handle dozens of times, verify its quality by confirming that it still slides in and out smoothly and that the locking mechanism operates reliably. When examining the wheels, turn the suitcase upside down so the wheels are off the ground, then gently spin them by hand to check for free rotation. The wheels should turn freely, with a snug yet not overly tight fit between the wheel and axle. Opt for rubber‑made wheels, which are quiet and wear‑resistant. Most carrying handles are made of plastic; high‑quality plastic is typically resilient, whereas inferior plastic is hard and brittle, making it more likely to break during use.

3. When selecting a soft-sided travel suitcase, first check that the zippers slide smoothly, with no missing teeth or misalignment; ensure the stitching is even and straight, with top and bottom threads matching perfectly, and without any skipped or loose stitches—skipped stitches are common at corners and curved areas. Next, inspect the interior and exterior for defects, such as broken warp or weft threads, snagged fibers, or tears in the fabric. The same inspection procedures apply to components like the telescoping handle, wheels, and locks as when choosing a hard-sided suitcase.

4. Choose well-known merchants and brands. High-quality luggage typically pays close attention to detail, with tasteful color coordination, neat stitching, evenly spaced stitches, no loose threads, smooth, flawless fabric free of bubbles or exposed raw edges, and shiny metal hardware. Opting for reputable sellers and established brands ensures better after-sales support.

5. Check the label markings. Products manufactured by reputable manufacturers should clearly indicate the product name, product standard number, specifications and model, material, the name and address of the manufacturer, inspection marks, and a contact telephone number, among other information.
