ULTIMATE GUIDE TO HARD COVER LUGGAGE MATERIAL (2023) 

Are you in the market for a new hard cover luggage? With so many materials to
choose from, it can be overwhelming to determine which one is right for you.

In this ultimate guide, we'll break down the differences between some of the
most popular hard cover luggage materials on the market, including ABS, PP, PC,
ABS/PC Composite, PET, and aluminum, to help you make an informed decision.


FIND THE LUGGAGE MATERIAL THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS

Make comparison between ABS, PP, PC, ABS/PC Composite, PET, and aluminum

ABS (ACRYLONITRILE BUTADIENE STYRENE)

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a common thermoplastic polymer used in
hard cover luggage. It is lightweight and durable, but not as strong as other
materials. Due to the non-flexible nature of ABS, these suitcases have a higher
tendency to develop cracks in the hard case. ABS is also prone to scratching and
scuffing. ABS luggage is usually the most affordable option, with prices ranging
from $50 to $150.

PP (POLYPROPYLENE)

PP (polypropylene) is another lightweight and durable material. It is known for
its resistance to impact and temperature changes, but not as durable as other
materials. PP luggage is slightly more expensive than ABS, with prices ranging
from $100 to $200.

PC (POLYCARBONATE)

PC (polycarbonate) is a premium material used for hard cover luggage. It is
extremely lightweight, yet strong and durable. The first thing that you would
probably notice is that a PC luggage is really flexible, which makes it much
more resistant to cracks and durable. With that said, the weight difference is
only very minimal (only 12% heavier than the lightest luggage plastic –
polypropylene). No doubt that PC is the material of choice for many high-end
luggage brands, and for good reason. Prices for PC luggage typically range from
$200 to $400.

LAX Bric Collection is made with German Bayer Makrolon® Polycarbonate Hard Shell
material, it is a triple-layered hard shell technology built for extra (or 3x
extra) durability. This lightweight yet durable shell lets you pack and protect
even more.


ABS/PC COMPOSITE

ABS/PC Composite is a blend of ABS and PC, offering the benefits of both
materials. The combination results in a more durable and lightweight luggage
option, while still being scratch-resistant. This material is somewhat durable
(not as durable as polycarbonate, but more durable than regular ABS).Prices for
ABS/PC composite luggage range from $100 to $300.


PET (POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE)

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a newer material used for hard cover
luggage. It is eco-friendly, as it is made from recycled plastic bottles. In
terms of durability, it’s comparable to ABS, which means that it isn’t really
too durable. PET is a great option for those looking for an eco-friendly luggage
choice. Prices for PET luggage range from $100 to $250.


ALUMINUM

Aluminum is the most durable material out of all and scratch-resistant. However,
it is the heaviest material used in luggage (37% more than polycarbonate) and
not as impact-resistant as other materials. As aluminum luggage is easily dented
and expensive, it's not as popular as polycarbonate for luggage. Aluminum
luggage is often associated with luxury brands and a sleek, stylish look. Prices
for aluminum luggage typically range from $550 – $1500, with an average price of
$1148.

LUGGAGE MATERIAL FOR THE FREQUENT TRAVELLERS

When it comes to choosing the best hard cover luggage material, we recommend
polycarbonate. It offers the best combination of durability, strength, and
lightweight design. It is also scratch-resistant, making it a great option for
frequent travelers. While PC luggage may be more expensive than other materials,
the added durability and longevity make it a worthwhile investment.

In conclusion, choosing the right hard cover luggage material is an important
decision when it comes to traveling. Consider your needs, preferences, and
budget when making your choice, and keep in mind the advantages and
disadvantages of each material. With this ultimate guide, you'll be
well-equipped to make the best decision for your next adventure.
