What are travel bags?
Travel bags include soft luggage, travel backpacks and multi-compartment carry bags built for trains, buses and flights. They are a staple for luggage retailers and wholesalers, and a popular branded item for tour operators and corporates.
They are mainly bought by retailers, wholesalers, travel & tour companies, private label businesses and e-commerce sellers, for holiday & leisure travel and business travel.
How to choose travel bags for a bulk order
Decide these four things first — they drive suitability, quality and price.
Trip type
Duffles for weekends and gyms, travel backpacks for mixed transport, trolley bags for heavy luggage.
Capacity
Match litres or cabin/check-in sizing to how the bag will travel.
Hardware
Zips, wheels and handles decide lifespan — specify them along with fabric.
Branding
Woven labels, metal plates and branded pullers suit retail and gifting.
Which material is best for travel bags?
