Spec snapshot
A fast engineering view of what matters for sourcing, quoting, and repeatable production.
| Item | Typical | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Travel style | weekender / carry-on / personal item (by spec) | Style defines dimensions, handles, and pocket strategy |
| Access architecture | U-zip / clamshell / top-load | Access system changes zipper length and assembly complexity |
| Durability target | regular travel / heavy travel / rough handling | Defines fabric grade, base reinforcement, and hardware selection |
| Pocket architecture | minimal / organizer heavy | Pocket count and lining are major cost and assembly drivers |
| Typical MOQ | 300–800 pcs | Depends on custom fabrics, branding, and hardware options |
Carry-on sizing guidance (by market)
Travel bags should be designed around common cabin constraints and real packing volume. Final compliance depends on the carrier, but design targets reduce returns.
| Market | Typical cabin limits | Bag size target | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| USA (typical) | varies by carrier | carry-on and weekender proportion targets | Confirm target carriers; define tolerance early |
| EU (typical) | varies by carrier | compact carry-on proportions | Budget carriers often require smaller profiles |
| UK (typical) | varies by carrier | carry-on and personal-item profiles | Personal-item programs benefit from rigid dimension control |
| Asia (typical) | varies by carrier | lighter weight focus | Weight limits can be more sensitive; define total weight target |
Scenario benchmarks
Travel bags are spec’d from the scenario: airport handling, hotel transitions, and packing behavior. This table keeps the design on-track.
| Scenario | Typical load | Design focus |
|---|---|---|
| Weekend city trip | 2–3 outfits + toiletries | easy access + clean finishing + carry comfort |
| Business travel | laptop + documents + change of clothes | organization + premium look + stable hardware matching |
| Adventure travel | mixed gear + frequent packing | abrasion control + base reinforcement + zipper durability |
Capacity & dimensions reference
Standard size options for travel bags. We can also customize dimensions to fit your specific gear.
| Volume | Typical Dimensions | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 25L - 35L | 50 x 26 x 26 cm (typical) | weekend and gym crossover |
| 40L - 55L | 60 x 30 x 30 cm (typical) | carry-on weekender travel |
Materials & fabrics
Material choice drives performance, durability, finishing, and target price point.
| Fabric | Waterproof | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polyester / nylon | water-resistant options | varies | Flexible for travel bags with stable hand-feel. |
| 1680D ballistic nylon | water-resistant | varies | Abrasion control for heavy travel and premium positioning. |
| TPU coated fabric (by spec) | water-resistant to waterproof | varies | Easy cleaning and stronger weather protection. |
