Perfectly equipped for your vacation with a suitcase from myBagFactory
Whether it's a relaxing beach vacation, a business trip, or an exciting city break, the right suitcase is crucial for a stress-free trip. Choosing the right luggage is often more difficult than you think. Size, material, weight, and wheels all play a major role.
At myBagFactory, you'll find a wide selection of high-quality suitcases: hard-shell suitcases, soft-shell suitcases, carry-on trolleys, and entire suitcase sets for frequent travelers. But what should you look for when buying? Here, you'll learn everything about the different suitcase types, materials, and which suitcases are best suited for which trips.
What types of suitcases are there?
Suitcases come in many different styles, suitable for different types of travelers. Here's an overview of the most popular models:
- Hard-shell suitcase : Extremely robust and durable. Perfect for air travel.
- Soft-shell suitcases : Lighter and more flexible. Good for traveling by car or train.
- Hand luggage suitcase : Small, practical and ideal for short trips.
- Trolley suitcase: With 2 or 4 wheels, for easy handling.
- Travel bags with wheels : The perfect mix of flexibility and mobility.
- Luggage sets : Several sizes in the set – ideal for families or frequent travelers.
The choice depends on how you travel and how much luggage you want to take with you. One of our favorite soft-shell suitcases is the Saint-Tropez from FERGÉ. It offers plenty of storage space, and with this set of three, you'll be perfectly equipped.
What is important when buying a hard-shell suitcase?
Not every suitcase is the same. A good suitcase needs to be sturdy, lightweight, and practical. But which features are truly crucial?
- Material : This determines whether the case is particularly sturdy or rather flexible.
- Size & Weight : Hand luggage or checked baggage? The choice depends on the length of your trip.
- Wheels & handle: A trolley suitcase with four wheels is particularly easy to maneuver.
- Security : A TSA lock protects your luggage from unauthorized access.
The material in particular plays a crucial role because it determines how durable and safe your suitcase is.
ABS cases – what's behind this popular material?
ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is one of the most commonly used materials for hard-shell suitcases. It is characterized by its high durability and impact resistance. ABS is used in many areas, for example, in the automotive industry or in the production of safety helmets. But why is it particularly suitable for suitcases?
Advantages of ABS cases
- High stability : The material is extremely robust and resistant to shocks and pressure – ideal for air travel.
- Lightweight : ABS is comparatively lightweight, which is important if you don’t want to overload a particular piece of luggage.
- Scratch resistance : Due to their hard surface, ABS suitcases are less susceptible to scratches than soft-shell suitcases.
- Value for money : Hard-shell cases made of ABS are often cheaper than models made of polycarbonate or aluminum, but still offer excellent stability.

Which suitcase size is right for me?
The size of your suitcase should depend on the length of your trip and the airline's baggage regulations.
- Short trip (2-3 days): A hand luggage trolley with a height of approx. 50-55 cm is sufficient.
- One-week vacation : A medium-sized rolling suitcase (65-70 cm) offers enough space.
- More than two weeks : Here it is worthwhile to consider a large suitcase (from 75 cm) or even a suitcase set for more flexibility.
Especially when traveling by plane, it's important to pay attention to the airline's carry-on luggage dimensions. Each airline has its own rules regarding maximum size and weight.
Which piece of luggage is ideal for air travel?
When traveling by plane, it's not just size that matters, but also stability. Trolley hand luggage or hard-shell suitcases made of ABS are particularly ideal.
Make sure your suitcase has a TSA lock so your luggage can be easily opened during security checks without being damaged.
