Core Preparation Checklist for Luggage Manufacturing

Core question: What material aligns with your expectations?

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

• Lightweight, impact-resistant, lower cost than PC material
• Economical cases, internal frames

PC (Polycarbonate)

• High compressive strength, lightweight, scratch-resistant
• Premium business cases, frequent check-in luggage

Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy

• Metallic texture, deformation-resistant, high load-bearing capacity
• Luxury metal cases, anti-theft applications

Oxford Fabric/Canvas

• Durable, heavy, prone to aging
• Vintage-style luggage, low-cost customization

Functional Requirements

Smart features:

• Integrated Tech: Smart locks (e.g., TSA-approved), USB charging ports, GPS tracking, or weight sensors.
• Enhanced security: Dual-layer zippers, reinforced lock systems.
• Ergonomics: Adjustable telescopic handles, ergonomic grip designs.

Component Selection

Wheels:

• Types: Spinner wheels (360° rotation), Inline wheels (sturdy for rough terrain) .
• Material: TPU/TPE (quiet, shock-absorbent) or Steel bearings (heavy-duty).

Telescopic handle:

• Material: Aluminum alloy (lightweight, corrosion-resistant) or Full aluminum (high-end durability).
• Other hardware: Zippers (YKK recommended), locks, and corner guards.

Lining Material

Options:

• Polyester (affordable, easy to clean), Cotton blends (soft, breathable), Peach-skin velvet (luxury texture), or Antimicrobial fabrics (hygienic).
• Design tips: Include organizational pockets, compression straps, and waterproof compartments.

Technical Documentation

Required deliverables:

• Structural diagrams: Specify dimensions, weight distribution, and load-bearing points.
• 3D renderings: Visualize aesthetics, color schemes, and functional layouts (e.g., smart lock placement).
• Prototyping: Validate design feasibility through CAD models and physical samples.
