How to choose a suitable suitcase when studying abroad?



Whether traveling abroad or studying abroad, suitcases play an extremely important role in this journey to the destination. Especially for international students who have lived abroad for the first time, they will start to organize their luggage one or two months before departure, and they do n`t feel much when they make a list of purchases. It is only found in a box: it ca n`t fit! In order to prevent everyone from starting to worry before going abroad, we collected the size, material and use scene of the suitcase to provide you with some reference.

01

What is the appropriate size of the suitcase?

In the end, what size luggage should be purchased according to the regulations of the airline you booked. The requirements of different airlines are not the same, you need to go to the official website to check the size limit after confirming the ticket. Some airlines can bring one box on board and one box to check, and some airlines require that only one box be checked.

The International Air Transport Association IATA's official standard stipulates: the sum of the three sides of the boarding case should not exceed 115CM, and the sum of the three sides of the shipping box should not exceed 158CM, so it is recommended that the babies should prepare two boxes, one 20-inch boarding case, one Oversized 28 or 29 inch shipping box.

Baggage weight also needs to comply with airline standards. Theoretically, the box must be light in order to load as many items as possible to avoid being overweight, so do n`t choose those suitcases that are said to be inlaid with steel plates to look cool. You will cry when you are overweight. The extra charge for extra luggage is very high expensive......



If you are going to buy two suitcases, it is recommended to put valuables or things that are heavy in the small suitcase. The shipping box can hold daily necessities such as clothes and debris. The heavier items are not suitable for large suitcases.

02

How to choose the luggage material?

Luggage can generally be divided into two categories: soft cases and hard cases.

Common materials for soft boxes are canvas, nylon, EVA, leather, etc. The advantages are light weight, strong toughness, and beautiful appearance, but their waterproof, compression, and impact resistance are not as good as hard boxes, so they are more suitable for short trips, or as Carry on the case with you.

The hard box is a rigid trolley case, including ABS (styrene polymer) box and PP box (injection molding), PC, thermoplastic composite material box, etc. Most of the hard boxes are high temperature resistant, wear resistant, impact resistant and waterproof , The characteristics of compression, so the hard box is more suitable for long-distance travel, especially as a shipping box.

Of course, we can't tell whether it is a soft box or a hard box on the basis of one sentence. Different materials have different characteristics.

The biggest advantage of ABS hard box is moisture and pressure resistance. So even in rain and snow, there is no need to worry about the items in the box will get wet and wet, but the box itself does not have a great degree of expansion and contraction. It is suitable for storing valuables such as cameras and cameras. Even if the box is impacted by outside, the contents in the box will not be easily damaged. PP boxes are similar to ABS boxes.

The biggest feature of EVA soft box is its small weight, that is, the box body is lighter in weight, and the box body has a certain degree of expansion and contraction. It can hold more items than ABS and PP boxes of the same specification.

Pay attention to the details of choosing a suitcase

1. If you are going to the United States, you must remember to choose a suitcase with TSA customs lock. Because during customs inspection, the box will be opened with a TSA key for customs inspection. If the box does not have a TSA customs lock, the password lock of the box should be opened in advance before accepting the inspection, otherwise the customs will force a broken lock inspection!

2. Packing straps are recommended for oversized luggage. First, it can reduce the burden of zippers. It can protect the box from excessive damage during violent consignment. Second, it is easy to identify the box. Picking a personalized strap is more conspicuous than the luggage tag, so you do n`t have to worry about messing with the luggage. It happened.

3. It is better to have one luggage tag. Remember to put your name and address inside the box, and also attach a label with your name and address on the outside (this label can be taken at the airport), not only for anti-random use, but also to ensure that others take your wrong The box can find your contact information and return it as soon as possible.

4. It is the best condition to fill the suitcase. Some people may worry that the box is too full and it will break the zipper, but in fact, for the suitcase, it is the best support state. If it is a soft box, it is fine. If you buy a hard box, the cousin is really It `s recommended to fill your box full, so as to give enough support to the box. If you are worried about the contents of the box being squeezed, you can wrap the items you need to protect with clothing, which can offset most of it The bumps and squeeze from the outside world.



5. The material of the luggage information bar needs attention. Many people like to use plastic luggage strips, but the problem is that the luggage strips must be kept clean and have clear contact details on them. When checking in at the airport, the paper information strip at the counter is very useful.

6. Tie rods and wheels are very important accessories. When choosing a suitcase, you must strictly confirm the quality of the trolley and wheels of the suitcase. You can pull out the lever, press it with your hand to check the strength of the lever, and press the lever with one hand. The stem should be deformed or bent. The wheels must be sturdy, preferably replaceable universal wheels, so that they can be replaced if they become damaged in the future.

Having said that, the cousin will not recommend the luggage brand to everyone. As long as you know your needs, then the right luggage brand is not difficult to find. Finally, let me say one more thing. Even expensive suitcases can be broken after a few years of use, so it `s good to meet your inner price-performance ratio when buying suitcases.
