Green Luggage

Hard-sided luggage offers better protection for fragile items and is more water-resistant. It's also easier to clean and often more durable. Soft-sided luggage is typically lighter, more flexible for packing, easier to maneuver in tight spaces and can have exterior pockets for easy access. The decision depends on personal preference and travel needs. Check out our complete comparison guide to hard vs soft luggage.

For cleaning hard-sided luggage, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth to ensure you don't scratch your luggage. For cleaning soft-sided luggage, spot clean with a gentle detergent and warm water. Allow the luggage to air dry completely before storing. For stubborn stains, use specialized cleaning products designed for the specific material of your luggage. If you're looking to clean the interior of your suitcase, you can use a vacuum to remove all crumbs and dust from the interior and exterior of the suitcase.

Yes, TSA allows locks on luggage. At CALPAK we use only TSA approved locks on our products - meaning these locks can be opened by TSA agents using a master key if inspection is necessary, without damaging your luggage. TSA will only open your bag if it sets off an alarm during screening or if TSA considers it necessary to do so. Using a TSA lock allows an easy process to not damage your luggage. Non-TSA locks may be cut off if luggage inspection is required.

The size of suitcase you need depends on the length of your trip and airline restrictions. For carry-on luggage, most airlines allow bags up to 22" x 14" x 9". Perfect for weekend getaways and short trips. For checked luggage, a medium-sized suitcase (24"-26") is suitable for trips between 3-7 days, they provide enough room to carry all essentials like clothes, shoes and toiletries without becoming to bulky to carry. While larger suitcases (28"-32") are better for longer trips or multiple people sharing a bag, or for longer trips up to 2 weeks. You can comfortably pack heavier items like coats and formalwear and still have room for all other essentials. Be sure to confirm luggage requirements with your specific airline prior to your trip.

The best color for luggage is largely a matter of personal preference. There are benefits to both neutral and colorful luggage options. Darker colors like black, navy, or brown tend to show less dirt and wear over time. Brighter colors like pink and metallic or unique patterns can make your luggage easier to spot on the baggage carousel. Consider a color that balances practicality with your personal style.
