Perfectly equipped for your holiday with suitcases from myBagFactory
Whether it's a relaxing beach holiday, a business trip or an exciting city break - the right suitcase is crucial for a stress-free journey. Choosing the right luggage is often more difficult than you think. Size, material, weight, wheels - all these factors play a major role.
At myBagFactory you will find a large selection of high-quality suitcases: Hard-shell cases, soft-shell cases, hand luggage trolleys or entire suitcase sets for frequent travellers. But what should you look out for when buying? Here you can find out everything about the different types of suitcases, materials and which suitcases are best suited for which trips.
What is important when buying a suitcase?
Not every suitcase is the same. A good suitcase must be robust, lightweight and practical. But which characteristics are really decisive?
- Material: This determines whether the suitcase is particularly sturdy or more 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 manoeuvre.
- Security: A TSA lock protects your luggage from unauthorised access.
The material in particular plays a decisive role, as it determines how durable and secure 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 cases. It is characterised by its high durability and impact resistance. ABS is used in many areas, e.g. in the automotive industry or in the manufacture 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 travelling by plane.
- Lightweight: ABS is comparatively lightweight, which is important if you don't want to overload a particular piece of luggage.
- Scratch resistance: Due to the hard surface, ABS cases are less susceptible to scratches than soft-shell cases.
- Value for money: ABS hard-shell cases are often cheaper than polycarbonate or aluminium models, but still offer excellent stability.
With our CANNES suitcase set from FERGÉ made of ABS, you'll be perfectly equipped for your next trip
What types of cases are there?
Suitcases are available in many variants that are suitable for different types of travellers. Here is an overview of the most common models:
- Hard-shell suitcases: Extremely robust and hard-wearing. Perfect for travelling by plane.
- Soft-shell suitcases: Lighter and more flexible. Good for travelling by car or train.
- Hand luggage cases: Small, practical and ideal for short trips.
- Trolley suitcases: With 2 or 4 wheels for easy handling.
- Travel bags with wheels: The perfect mix of flexibility and mobility.
- Suitcase sets: Several sizes in a set - ideal for families or frequent travellers.
The choice depends on how you are travelling and how much luggage you want to take with you. One of our favourite soft-shell suitcases is the Saint-Tropez from FERGÉ. It offers a lot of storage space and with the set of 3 suitcases you are perfectly equipped.
Which suitcase size is right for me?
The size of your suitcase should depend on the duration of your trip and the airlines' baggage regulations.
- Short trip (2-3 days): A hand luggage trolley with a height of approx. 50-55 cm is sufficient.
- One-week holiday: A medium-sized wheeled suitcase (65-70 cm) offers sufficient space.
- More than two weeks: A large suitcase (from 75 cm) or even a suitcase set for more flexibility is worthwhile here.
Especially when travelling by plane, you should always check the airline's hand luggage dimensions. Each airline has its own rules regarding maximum size and weight.
Which suitcase is ideal for air travel?
When travelling by air, it's not just the size that matters, but also the stability. Trolley hand luggage or hard-shell cases made of ABS are ideal here.
Make sure that the suitcase has a TSA lock - this means that the luggage can be opened easily at security checks without being damaged.

Frequently asked questions about suitcases & luggage
1. are soft-shell or hard-shell suitcases better?
That depends on the type of trip you are travelling with. Hard-sided cases offer better protection for delicate luggage and are ideal for travelling by air. Soft-sided cases are more flexible, often lighter and have additional outer pockets - perfect for travelling by train or car.
2. What is a TSA lock and do I need it?
A TSA lock is a special luggage lock that can be opened by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) without damaging the suitcase. It is particularly important when travelling to the USA, as security personnel are allowed to carry out baggage checks.
3. what are the advantages of a suitcase set?
Buying a suitcase set is particularly worthwhile for families or frequent travellers. A set usually consists of three different sizes so that you have the right suitcase size for every trip. In addition, suitcase sets are often cheaper than buying them individually.
4 How do I look after my case properly?
- Hard-shell cases: Clean with a damp cloth and treat scratches with car polish if necessary.
- Soft-shell cases: Remove stains with mild soapy water and leave to dry.
- Castors & handles: Check occasionally for wear and tear and clean or oil if necessary.
If you need more information on authorised sizes etc., you can find more information in our suitcase guide. However, before you start your journey, check with the airline which sizes are permitted.
