In the luggage industry, the selection of materials is not only related to product quality and appearance, but also directly affects brand positioning and market sales.We as a professional of ABS resin, PC plastic granules, ABS PC material supplier, is often the customer asked.

"Is ABS PC good for luggage?
"What is the difference between ABS, PC, and ABS+PC luggage?"

Today, combined with industry trends and production needs, we will help you systematically sort out the advantages and disadvantages of these three common luggage plastic materials to help manufacturing companies accurately select materials.

1. ABS luggage: An entry-level and economical choice

ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) was a commonly used material for hard shells of suitcases in the early days and was suitable for cost-sensitive product lines.

Advantages:

  ・The material prices are affordable and suitable for the mass market

  ・It is easy to process and form, and has a good surface effect

  ・It has basic impact resistance and wear resistance

Disadvantage:

  ・It has limited toughness and pressure resistance, and is prone to cracking under heavy pressure or violent transportation

  ・It has average resistance to high and low temperatures and is prone to aging due to environmental changes

  ・The overall strength is inferior to that of PC or ABS PC materials

Summary: ABS suitcases are suitable for the entry-level market with obvious price advantages, but they are not suitable for mid-to-high-end products that pursue high durability.

2. PC luggage: Combining lightweight and high strength

PC (polycarbonate resin) is widely used in high-end suitcases due to its excellent toughness and high transparency.

Advantages:

  ・Outstanding impact resistance, capable of withstanding violent handling

  ・The material is lightweight, reducing the weight of the entire box

  ・The surface gloss is high, enhancing the texture of the product

  ・Good weather resistance and temperature resistance

Disadvantage:

  ・The material cost is relatively high

  ・The surface is prone to scratches and requires enhanced treatment

  ・The processing technology requirements are more stringent

Summary: PC suitcases are positioned in the mid-to-high-end market and are suitable for people with frequent travel. They combine quality and appearance standards.

3. ABS PC luggage: A balanced solution between performance and cost

ABS PC material, namely PC+ABS plastic, combines the respective advantages of ABS and PC and has become a widely popular material for suitcases in recent years.

Advantages and highlights:

  ・It is more impact-resistant and has better toughness than pure ABS

  ・It has a cost advantage over all-PC and is economical and practical

  ・It has stable molding and can adapt to various complex design requirements

  ・The formula can be adjusted as needed to balance appearance, strength and price

ABS PC plastic material, with its excellent comprehensive performance, has become the mainstream material choice for mid-to-high-end suitcases, taking into account practicality, durability and cost performance.
