What Is PC Luggage？
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).
Durability
This is where polycarbonate’s innate robustness comes to the fore. The material has an abnormally high tensile strength (so much so that it’s a key component of bullet-proof glass), meaning it can be subjected to large amounts of pressure without breaking. This ensures your possessions remain protected inside. Not only that, but polycarbonate travel cases also have a long shelf-life. Some even come with a lifetime guarantee, so they represent great investment pieces over time.
Flexibility
Although the benefit of having a ‘flexible’ suitcase isn’t immediately obvious, bear with us for a moment. While polycarbonate shell luggage appears rigid, when it absorbs shock it can sometimes cave in, causing an indentation. Such is the material’s elasticity, however, that it can be easily returned to the original shape with force. Leaving the case looking as good as new.
Lightweight
Any seasoned traveller knows that the lighter the load, the easier the journey. And one of polycarbonate luggage’s main USPs is that it’s extremely lightweight, especially in comparison to other plastic suitcase materials (e.g. ABS). This translates to increased mobility and less strain on the body. Not to mention that with increasingly draconian suitcase weight restrictions and expensive fees for going over, having lighter luggage is a real bonus.
Versatility
If you subscribe to the view that variety is the spice of life, polycarbonate travel cases have you covered. Polycarbonate is amorphous (having no definite form) and can easily be moulded by manufacturers into unique shapes.
While polycarbonate is transparent in its natural state, it’s very responsive to dyes and can take on any colour a manufacturer pleases.
Types of PC Luggage
Checked luggage
A checked bag is any type of luggage that’s too large to fit into a plane’s overhead compartment.
This type of luggage typically has zippered compartments, a retractable handle and wheels on the base, allowing you to glide the bag with ease.
Thanks to the large amount of available space in checked luggage, it’s typically used for extended trips or when your list of essentials is longer than most.
Carry-on bag
A carry-on bag is any type of luggage that is compact enough to bring on board an airplane.
With a standard size of 22″ x 14″ x 9″ for most American domestic planes, carry-ons are stored in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you.
You can use a carry-on bag for short trips or even longer trips where you pack light, to avoid the hassle that can come with checking a bag.
Travel tote
Similar to a large handbag, a travel tote is a type of carry-on luggage that has shoulder straps and fits fewer travel essentials, like electronics, make-up and a few pieces of clothing.
Great for weekend trips or when on the road, a travel tote provides quick and easy access to your essentials.
Duffel bag
A duffel bag is a tube-like type of carry-on that comes with heavy-duty straps, zippers and multiple compartments to safely store your belongings.
A duffel bag is often used to carry sports clothing or equipment, but it’s earned a spot as a travel bag over the years. The standard size is just small enough to fit in the overhead bin or under the seat on an airplane. Similar to travel totes, duffel bags are ideal for short weekend trips.
Application of PC Luggage
Place laundry. The most basic function of a suitcase is to store clothes, making it easy to carry and store.
Protect valuables. Many suitcases are equipped with a locking feature to keep your valuables safe.
Place the tool. With the retrofit, the suitcase can be used as a toolbox.
Temporary storage. Temporary storage of household items.
Pet home. Converted into a pet kennel.
Planting flowers and plants. It is used to grow plants.
Components of PC Luggage
Telescoping handle: The telescoping handle clicks up and down into place using a release button. When pushed all the way down flush with the top of the suitcase, the telescoping handle should remain in place with only the rigid handle visible. When the release button is pressed and the handle is pulled, the telescoping handle should pull upwards, allowing the bag to be rolled easily without stooping.
Telescoping suitcase handles may have one or two support pieces. These pieces slip into channels in the bottom of a suitcase, which can usually be felt under the suitcase liner when the suitcase is open.
Button to collapse roller handle: This part is especially important because it allows the repositioning of the telescoping handle. When a button to collapse or extend a telescoping handle breaks, often the pull-out handle has to be replaced or the suitcase repurposed for other uses (such as storage or as a secondary suitcase).
Outer shell: Suitcases have various forms of outer shells.
Carry strap: It could be argued that the most important part of a suitcase. Most suitcases have a carry strap on two sides- the top and t on the side opposite the zipper’s hinge. These carry straps are really important. While you may not handle your suitcase by these handles often (most travelers use the telescoping handle primarily), the carry strap is what baggage handlers at airports, valets at hotels, and couriers for trains, buses, and group tours will use to move your suitcase around. For this reason, this part of a suitcase is important and needs to be especially sturdy.
Combination Lock: Many modern suitcases come with integrated locks.
Spinner wheels: Arguably the most important development in suitcase research and design in the last 50 years, spinner wheels are, in this pro traveler’s opinion, an important suitcase part. Spinner wheels, rather than set wheels (which only roll in one direction), allow you to maneuver around obstacles easily.
Process of PC Luggage
Material selection. First of all, it is necessary to prepare various materials, such as trolley box shell material, lining material, middle plate material, skeleton material, tie rod material, wheel material, etc.
Design. According to the use and function of the trolley box, the size and shape of the box should be designed, and the design should conform to the principle of ergonomics and ensure that it is beautiful and practical.
Crop. Transfer the design to the selected material, mark it, and use the cutting machine to cut the material into the corresponding shape and size according to the design requirements.
Sew. According to the design requirements, the sewing machine is used to sew the materials together, and the stitches need to be fine and tight when sewing.
High temperature pressing. Under the action of high temperature and pressure, the surface material of the trunk is cured to enhance its toughness and compression resistance.
Assemble. Accurately assemble the various parts of the cabinet, including the connection between the cabinet and the lever, the installation of wheels, zippers and other accessories.
Inspection and testing. After the production is completed, the trolley case is comprehensively inspected and tested, including strength, wear resistance, firmness, etc., to ensure that the product quality meets the standards.
Pack. The final step is to pack the finished suitcases to avoid damage during transport and storage.
Pack properly
Overstuffing your bag could put pressure on the zippers or fabric seams, so try to slim down your packing list, if possible.
When you're packing the bag, keep the heaviest items at the bottom of your suitcase near the wheels. That keeps the center of gravity low and reduces the likelihood it will tip over and get damaged.
Assume that any container holding liquid could potentially leak, and pack it in a separate plastic bag to prevent damage to your suitcase (or the stuff inside it).
Fasten down or remove any loose ends, such as compression straps or shoulder straps, before checking your bag.
Store with care
Keep your suitcase out of direct sunlight when you're not using it to protect its color from fading. Store smaller suitcases inside of larger suitcases, make sure that all zippers are closed, and stuff outside pockets with newspaper in order to help the luggage maintain its shape.
If you travel infrequently or have one suitcase that you rarely use, put a large trash bag over it to prevent dust from settling in over time.
4 Tips for How to Clean Polycarbonate Luggage
Thoroughly clean the entire exterior shell
After many trips around the globe, there is a chance that your luggage may have picked up some dirt and dust along the way. Find some time to give your luggage a little TLC with a hassle-free cleaning routine: To clean your polycarbonate luggage, begin by creating a mixture of warm water and dishwashing liquid. With a soft cloth or sponge proceed to wipe off the entire polycarbonate shell with the cleaning solution. Use a clean, dry cloth to remove the excess moisture from the shell.
Remove scuffs and marks
After grazing the pavement or bumping into other luggage overhead, your case can accumulate a few scuffs. When you see one, do not fear, simply use an eraser cleaning pad. An eraser cleaning pad can be used to buff out scratches as well as visible scuffs and marks. Remember to avoid cleaning agents that include acetone, ammonia, and benzene compounds as these may damage your polycarbonate surface and leave a sticky residue.
Wipe down handles and wheels
When cleaning your polycarbonate luggage, do not forget about cleaning the handle and wheels. To clean handles you can simply use a damp microfiber cloth with warm soap and water, all-purpose cleaner, or a disinfecting wipe. You can also use this method to clean off the zipper and the wheels on your bag. In order to fully clean your wheels be sure to spin them on your damp cloth a few times to remove all dirt.
Vacuum and wipe the interior
While making sure the exterior of your polycarbonate luggage is clean, it is equally as important to focus on the interior cleanliness of your luggage. You can easily use the upholstery attachment of your vacuum to clean out the interior of your luggage. Make sure to get into all of the components and pockets in your luggage, so your luggage is spotless and ready for your next trip. Also, if something spills inside your suitcase, water-resistant lining can simply be wiped clean with a mild detergent and water.
Durability is an important factor when selecting luggage, and PVC and PC both offer excellent durability. PVC is a strong and durable material that is resistant to wear and tear, making it an ideal choice for frequent travelers. PC is also a strong and durable material, but it is more prone to scratches and dents than PVC.
Weight is another important factor to consider when selecting luggage. PVC is a lightweight material, making it an ideal choice for travelers who need to carry a lot of luggage. PC is slightly heavier than PVC, but it is still lightweight enough to be easily carried.
Cost is also an important factor when selecting luggage. PVC is generally more affordable than PC, making it a great choice for budget-conscious travelers. PC is more expensive than PVC, but it is also more durable and offers better protection for your belongings.
