When choosing a suitcase, in addition to paying attention to its closure mechanism, here are a few key factors you should keep in mind:

1. Cabinet material

The most important feature of a suitcase is its durability, and the material of the case plays a crucial role. Suitcase materials are mainly categorized into five types: PC, ABS, PC+ABS, PP, and aluminum‑magnesium alloy.

PC is currently the mainstream material for suitcases—lightweight and durable. ABS+PC is a mid-range material that’s perfectly suitable for everyday use, while other materials are not recommended because they’re less durable.

2. Pull rod

The pull handle, another vulnerable component of a suitcase, is also something you should consider before making your purchase.

Trolley handles are typically made of aluminum alloy or steel, with designs available in one‑piece, two‑piece, and three‑piece configurations—two‑piece and three‑piece being the most common. The handle length can be adjusted to suit the weight of the suitcase: a three‑piece design is generally used for 20‑inch and 24‑inch cases, while a two‑piece design is preferred for 28‑inch models. When choosing a handle, opt for an all‑aluminum, built‑in version, as it’s both lighter and more robust. Aluminum alloy is also widely used; it’s lightweight, offers greater rigidity, and is less prone to breaking.

Buying advice: All-aluminum > aluminum alloy > steel.

3. Wheel

The quality of the wheels is crucial; for materials, we recommend TPU combined with steel bearings, as they produce less noise and are more durable.

Buying advice: When it comes to choosing wheels, Aircraft wheels > casters with swivel joints > casters with fixed axles; the former offer superior durability and smoother rolling.

4. Locks

Luggage locks come in two types: Standard locks, TSA‑approved customs locks.
