Suitcases — Polycarbonate 32 items

A polycarbonate suitcase is one of the best options among travelers. In popularity, they have long outpaced fabric counterparts and firmly hold top positions among models made of polymer materials.

Why? It's simple. Polycarbonate is a material that combines an affordable price with excellent performance characteristics. It is pliable, easily formed when heated, resistant to minor damage, and withstands impacts. Of course, if you apply force with a sharp or hard object, you can leave a dent or a cut, but such situations are rare.

But why do prices for polycarbonate suitcases vary so much — from UAH 4,000 to UAH 20,000 and even more?

Choosing a Polycarbonate Suitcase: What to Look For

Many people think it is enough to go by material and color. However, we often hear complaints that a polycarbonate suitcase failed quickly. The reason? Polycarbonate can be virgin or recycled.

Recycled material is made from reprocessed scraps and shavings that are remelted. The result is a material with broken molecular bonds, an uneven structure, and dye impurities.

The biggest manufacturers, such as Samsonite, Roncato, American Tourister, Travelite, Lojel, Epic, and Titan, use only virgin polycarbonate. This ensures high strength and reliability, but also makes such suitcases more expensive.

Another important point is the thickness of the material. If you choose a suitcase that is too light and inexpensive, it may be due to thin shell walls. And reduced thickness always means reduced strength.

Hardware matters

Often it is not the shell of the suitcase that breaks, but its hardware. Wheels, handles, and zippers all have to be of good quality, because these elements bear the heaviest load. Cheap hardware quickly fails, and the suitcase can let you down at the most critical moment — on the road.

Storing luggage

Don't forget: storing luggage in direct sunlight is harmful. Ultraviolet light gradually breaks down the material, even though it may not be visible.

Even if you choose inexpensive models from well-known manufacturers, you can be sure that:

The suitcase is made of virgin polycarbonate.

The hardware is strong and high quality.

You get a guarantee of reliability.
