What material is good for the suitcase? There are many materials for the suitcase, such as Oxford cloth material, PU leather material, canvas material, ABS material, cowhide material, PVC luggage, PC luggage and so on. suitcases can be divided into leather suitcases, soft suitcases, and hard suitcases. Let’s take an inventory of suitcases of different materials!
What materials are the suitcases made of?
Cowhide
The cowhide suitcase is the most expensive material. In terms of cost performance, it is also afraid of water, abrasion, pressure, and scratches. However, as long as it is properly stored, the case is very valuable, and using genuine leather is not environmentally friendly.
PU leather
As the name implies, it is made of artificial leather pu material. The advantage of this case is that it is very similar to the cowhide material, and it looks high-end, but it is not afraid of water like a leather case. The disadvantage is that it is not wear-resistant and not strong enough, but the price is low.
PC bags
It is the most popular hard case in the market now, with anti-drop, impact resistance, waterproof, wear-resistant, fashionable, it can be said that it is much stronger than ABS material, it is the strongest in the case, the surface is smooth and beautiful, the biggest feature is “light” .
Oxford cloth
This material is similar to nylon. The advantages are wear-resistant and practical. The disadvantage is that the material of this suitcase is the same. It is difficult to distinguish luggage at the airport, and it is relatively heavy. However, there is no need to worry about the damage to the box when checking in. It is still the same as the original, the suitcase made of Oxford cloth will wear out with the use of time, and it may appear very old after a few uses.
Canvas
This kind of suitcase material is not very common, but the biggest advantage of canvas is that it is wear-resistant like Oxford cloth. The disadvantage is that the impact resistance is not as good as that of Oxford cloth. The color of the canvas material is very uniform, and some surfaces may be brighter. It looks good, but as time goes by, there is an old and unique sense of vicissitudes.
ABS
This is a relatively new material. ABS is a relatively popular fashionable suitcase material. The main feature is that it is lighter than other materials, the surface is more flexible, rigid, impact-resistant, and better protects the items inside, although It doesn’t feel very firm to the touch, but it is actually very flexible. The average adult has no problem standing on it. It is more convenient to clean.
PVC luggage
That is to say, the hard case, like a tough guy, is anti-fall, impact-resistant, waterproof, wear-resistant and fashionable. It can be said that it is much stronger than ABS material. It is the strongest in the case. Worry about scratches with rough handling. The biggest disadvantage is that it is heavy, about 20 pounds at every turn. Generally speaking, many airlines limit it to 20 kilograms, which means that the weight of the box accounts for half.
