Many people think that a suitcase can hold things and just buy one to use. In fact, the material of the wheels, the material of the box, and the size all affect your user experience.


(1) Fabric material. The materials used for making luggage fabrics include natural leather, synthetic leather/synthetic leather, fabrics (Oxford cloth, canvas), hard plastics (ABS, PC, PVC), etc.

Natural leather: Comfortable to the touch, of noble quality, not scratch resistant, not wear-resistant, and not waterproof.

Artificial leather/synthetic leather: The texture imitates natural leather, which is not scratch resistant, not wear-resistant, has poor waterproof effect, and the coating is prone to peeling over time.

Oxford cloth: easy to wash and dry, lightweight, soft to the touch, good waterproof, and durable.


Canvas: Tight and thick, with a firm and wear-resistant feel.

ABS: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene copolymer, made of lightweight, flexible, hard material, corrosion-resistant, able to withstand large impacts, waterproof, not scratch resistant, and prone to scratches.

PC: Polycarbonate, heat-resistant, impact resistant, waterproof, flame retardant, with good mechanical properties, is a material with outstanding properties in hard plastics.

PVC: Polyvinyl chloride resin, resistant to impact, impact, waterproof, wear-resistant, smooth surface, but heavy weight, and has a plastic odor.


(2) Walking wheels. There are two types of luggage wheels: directional wheels and universal wheels. Universal wheels are further divided into 4-wheel universal wheels and 8-wheel universal wheels (aircraft wheels).

The directional wheel can only move forward and backward in one direction and cannot turn 360 ° freely. The biggest advantage of directional wheels is their firmness and durability, making it easy to handle even uneven road surfaces.

The universal wheel can rotate 360 ° freely with your footsteps, allowing you to walk upright and easily push bulky suitcases. However, the low firmness of the universal wheel makes it difficult to resist rough handling! Double row universal wheels are also called airplane wheels because they resemble the wheels of an airplane.
