As a leading foreign company specializing in luggage manufacturing and supply, we are proud to introduce a game-changing innovation to the global luggage industry: our newly developed PP (Polypropylene) material that enables seamless thermoforming on any existing ABS luggage mold. This breakthrough not only bridges the performance gap between two widely used luggage materials but also empowers brands and manufacturers to expand their product portfolios with unprecedented flexibility—all while retaining the core advantages of PP.
For years, the luggage industry has faced a key limitation: ABS and PP, two of the most popular materials for hard-shell luggage, have traditionally required separate molds for production. ABS molds, widely adopted for their ability to create intricate designs, often tied manufacturers to using ABS resin exclusively—limiting their ability to leverage PP superior properties like lightweight durability, impact resistance, and chemical stability. Conversely, PP molds, while optimized for the material’s strengths, could not be repurposed for ABS, leading to higher tooling costs and slower time-to-market for new designs. Our new PP material eliminates this barrier entirely.
The core advantage of this innovative PP solution lies in its dual compatibility and performance. When used in thermoforming processes—a standard method for shaping hard-shell luggage—it adheres perfectly to any existing ABS mold, whether designed for classic suitcase silhouettes or minimalist carry-ons. This means manufacturers no longer need to invest in new molds to switch from ABS to PP; they can repurpose their current ABS tooling to produce PP luggage, slashing tooling expenses substantially and reducing production lead times by a notable number of weeks.
Beyond compatibility, the new PP material retains all the properties that make PP a top choice for modern travelers. It is lighter than standard ABS, easing baggage weight concerns for frequent flyers; it boasts exceptional impact resistance, withstanding the rigors of airport handling without cracking; and it is non-toxic and recyclable, aligning with the growing global demand for sustainable luggage options. For brands, this translates to a wider range of design possibilities: they can now offer PP-based luggage in the same popular styles, sizes, and details previously only possible with ABS—from matte finishes and textured surfaces to custom colorways—without compromising on quality or performance.
“We designed this material to solve a real pain point for our clients,” said our Product Innovation Director. “Luggage brands want to innovate, but high mold costs and material limitations often hold them back. Our new PP solution lets them be agile—testing new styles, meeting sustainability goals, and delivering better products to consumers—all while keeping costs in check.”
This innovation is now available to our global partners, including luggage manufacturers, private-label brands, and retailers across Europe, North America, and beyond. Whether you’re looking to expand your PP product line, reduce production costs, or create unique luggage designs that stand out in the market, our team is ready to provide tailored support—from material samples and technical specifications to bulk supply solutions.
