Softside luggage includes suitcases, travel bags,
garment bags and other travel goods. Highly trained workers carefully
construct the bags from components cut to size with the aid of
computers. It is a complex task to incorporate the double-stitching,
reinforced corners, self-healing zippers, integrated handles and
wheels, fashion detailing, and hand-finishing which are so
characteristic of Samsonite® soft luggage.
Hardside luggage includes hard suitcases, attaché
cases and beauty cases. The
manufacture of hardside luggage requires considerable investment in
engineering, Know-how and skilled personnel. Hardside cases are
produced using either injection molding or vacuum forming. Both
processes use molds created by computer-aided design. In injection
molding, high-pressure jets force pellets of polypropylene into a cool
mold. In vacuum forming, flat sheets of heated ABS plastic are pulled
across cool molds under a vacuum.
