Types of Hard Luggage
Cabin Hard Trolley (20”/55cm)
Airline cabin-compliant hard shell on four spinner wheels. The highest-volume hard luggage SKU in retail and corporate gifting.
Medium Check-In Hard Trolley (24”/65cm)
The standard week-long travel size and the middle unit of a three-piece set.
Large Check-In Hard Trolley (28”/75cm)
Extended-trip and family size, usually with an expansion zip and a full double-side packing interior.
Hard Luggage Set (3-Piece / 4-Piece)
Matched cabin, medium, and large cases sold as a set. The dominant format for Indian retail and festive gifting.
Polycarbonate Hard Luggage
The premium shell — high impact resistance with flex memory, so the case absorbs a blow and returns to shape. Lightest weight per unit of strength.
ABS Hard Luggage
The value shell — rigid, low cost, and colour-stable. The workhorse of gifting and entry-level retail ranges.
ABS + PC Composite Hard Luggage
A PC outer layer bonded to an ABS core, balancing impact performance against cost. Popular in mid-tier retail.
Polypropylene (PP) Hard Luggage
The toughest and most flex-tolerant shell, with the best cold and impact resistance. Chosen for heavy-use and long-life ranges.
Aluminium-Frame Hard Luggage
Zipperless case closed by a locking aluminium frame — the most secure format, with a premium look and feel.
Expandable Hard Trolley
Perimeter expansion zip adding 15–20% capacity for the return journey, on a zip-closure shell.
Anti-Theft / TSA Security Case
TSA-approved combination or fingerprint lock, zipperless frame option, and reinforced corner protection.
Textured / Anti-Scratch Hard Luggage
Matte, brushed, ribbed, or diamond-textured shell finish that hides the scuffs a glossy shell displays after one trip.
Business Hard Trolley with Front Laptop Pocket
Hard case with a front-opening soft compartment for a laptop and documents, for travellers moving between hotel and office.
Kids’ Hard Luggage
Small-format printed shell cases with lightweight construction. Ordered by kids' retail brands and family travel ranges.

Quality Checks for Hard Luggage at BAKKA Bags
Why Luggage Brands, Corporates & Gifting Agencies Choose BAKKA Bags for Hard Luggage
PC, ABS, PP, and composite shells fail in different ways and suit different buyers. We will tell you when ABS is genuinely sufficient for your gifting programme and when it is not — for instance, when a case will be checked in repeatedly rather than sitting in an overhead bin. A vendor who recommends the same shell for every order is quoting, not advising.
Wheel failure is the number one hard luggage return reason. Housings bolted through reinforced shell mounts transfer kerb impacts into the structure; surface-fixed housings transfer them into a crack. This is a cost line we do not remove to win a quote.
A glossy shell looks superb in a product photograph and shows every scuff after one trip. For corporate and wedding gifting, where the recipient’s first impression is the whole point, we steer buyers to matte and textured finishes that still look new after real travel.
In a three-piece set, three cases sit side by side on a shelf and in a customer’s hallway. Shell colour drift between sizes is immediately visible. We lock shell colour references across all sizes in a set and verify finish across random units from each production run.
Cabin limits are measured with wheels, handle housing, and corner guards included — not from the shell drawing. We check the finished unit against the size limits your target airlines publish, so your customers are not stopped at the gate.
We run a 3-stage quality check across material incoming, in-process, and pre-shipment, and provide a pre-dispatch quality report with photographs for orders above 1,000 units. Hard cases ship bulky, so we plan carton cube and set-packing with your logistics team before dispatch rather than after.

FAQs
Cabin 20”/55cm, medium 24”/65cm, large 28”/75cm, and extra-large 32”/82cm, available individually or as matched 3-piece and 4-piece sets.
MOQ on standard shell profiles is 100 pieces per colour and size. A fully custom shell shape requires new tooling and carries a higher minimum — typically 500 pieces per size — plus a one-time tooling cost. Most buyers use a standard profile with fully custom colour, finish, branding, and lining, which achieves a distinct product without tooling investment.
Polycarbonate for premium retail and frequent air travel — best impact resistance with flex recovery. ABS for value gifting and entry-level retail. ABS+PC composite for mid-tier ranges. Polypropylene for maximum toughness and long service life. Share your price point and use case and we will recommend rather than upsell.
Sample: 12–18 working days on a standard shell profile. Bulk orders of 100–500 pieces: 25–30 working days. Orders above 500 pieces: 30–40 working days from sample approval. Custom tooling adds 30–45 days before production begins.
Yes. Options include a moulded emboss in the shell face, a riveted or bonded metal plate, screen print, and full-shell UV or sublimation printing for photographic and pattern designs. Custom-printed interior lining is also available.
