Whether traveling by boat, plane, train, bus or taxi you will want to be reassured your personal fragile belongings and expensive electrical goods are protected and safe when carried inside your luggage. Because of its amazing impact resistant properties many of the major luggage manufacturers have discovered that polycarbonate is ideal for shielding personal effects packed inside luggage. After all, one of the many uses of polycarbonate is manufacturing bullet proof glass.

With technological advances and modern manufacturing techniques, polycarbonate is now widely used to make fashionable luggage world-wide. Also, with the latest design trends polycarbonate luggage is becoming increasing popular with many consumers who want to travel with modern looking luggage that is long-lasting and looks stylish.

Polycarbonate can best be described as a thermoplastic material that is durable, lightweight and cost effective. To meet the travel requirements of passengers, polycarbonate luggage sets can be manufactured in different sizes and colours with the latest functional features such as 2 or 4 in-line skate wheels and convenient telescopic recessed pull-handles that help make traveling stress free.

Also, because luggage made from polycarbonate is lightweight it is ideal for taking on a long vacation and therefore generally easier to lift onto a hotel bed or a baggage X-Ray check area at airports when required without too much trouble. By having a lightweight bag also means less weight you are carrying, which can help having to pay a penalty for exceeding the weight allowance at an airport check-in.

Although polycarbonate is a very tough and an impact resistant material it also has other properties such as the ability to bend and flex without splitting or fracturing which makes it perfect for use in the manufacture of hard sided luggage. For example, when your luggage leaves your possession it is not always handled gently or sedately and can be treated roughly when tossed onto trolleys, into baggage rooms and onto baggage carousels at airports. Travelers who have a polycarbonate hard-sided bag in transit should therefore feel a lot more comfortable about the safety of any delicate item that has been carefully packed inside one of these bags.
