Which type of trolley bag or suitcase should you choose?
The range falls into five kinds of wheeled bag, and the right one depends on who will carry it and where it will be seen. The sizes and materials below come from the product pages, so you can compare like with like before you ask for a quote.
| Type | Examples in the range | How the logo goes on | Suits |
| Hard-shell cases | ABS trolley Alaric (20-inch, 30 L, four colours), Lexicon Frequent Flyer Hardside Carry-on (polycarbonate, 34 L), Pegasus Hardside Large | Transfer or print on the shell, or an engraved plate where the product includes one | Client gifts and executives, because the shell protects the contents |
| Soft-side cases | Samsonite 72H DLX Rolling Weekender (nylon, 34 L, 2.1 kg), Synergy Softside Medium, Artic 600D RPET Trolley | Embroidery, print or transfer on the fabric | Staff travel and conferences, where outer pockets matter |
| Folding suitcases | Rollink Flex Earth (the medium is 60 L and folds to 8 cm), Collapsible Suitcase | Print or transfer on the shell | Hotel stays, delegate packs and anyone short of storage space |
| Luggage sets | Wenger 3Pc Terrain Luggage Set, Lumen Hardside Luggage Set, 2-Piece Trolley Set | One design across each piece | Incentive trips and prizes |
| Cooler and shopping trolleys | Glacier Cooler Trolley (16 L, 600D polyester, insulated), Trolley Shopper (600D nylon, folds flat) | Screen print or transfer on the fabric panels | Markets, community events and retail promotions |
For most corporate jobs we'd pick a cabin-size hard-shell or soft-side case. It gets carried through the terminal instead of disappearing into the hold, so the logo is seen more often, and a name-brand case such as a Samsonite or Wenger gives the gift a value the recipient recognises before they read your logo. Airlines set their own cabin limits, so check the dimensions on the product page against the airline your people fly with before you order.
If the trip is a weekend rather than a week, a branded duffle bag or a backpack may suit better, and the Samsonite Cityvibe 2 Mobile Office is closer to a rolling work bag, so have a look at our computer bags if the main load is a laptop. Cases and cooler trolleys also pair well with luggage tags in the same colour.
How do you put a logo on a suitcase?
A hard shell cannot be stitched, so the method follows the surface. Our artwork team confirms the final method and position on your proof, but these are the usual choices:
- On soft-side nylon and polyester cases, embroidery gives the most lasting, upmarket result, and suits a simple one or two colour logo without fine detail.
- For a full-colour logo on a case, a DTF transfer keeps small detail and gradients, and it is where we would usually start for a hard shell.
- On cooler and shopping trolleys in 600D polyester, screen printing is hard-wearing and works well on larger runs, with a setup per colour.
- Where a product includes an engraving plate, as the ABS trolley Alaric does, the plate carries the logo without marking the shell.
- The Suitcase Cover can be sublimated, which dyes a full-colour design into the stretch fabric and covers any case in four sizes from 19 to 32 inch.
Product pages offer one, two or three decoration positions, and the logo is sized to the space the case allows. Vector artwork gives the cleanest result, though if all you have is a low-resolution logo our artwork team can help.
Ordering trolley bags and suitcases
There's no minimum order, so a team can order six cases as easily as sixty, although each order carries a one-off logo setup, which means the price per case falls noticeably from around ten. You'll see a free digital proof before anything is made, and production only starts when you approve it. Luggage that we make to order usually travels by sea and can take up to about six weeks, while stocked cases are decorated in house and some orders are ready the same day. Freight is quoted separately because cases are bulky, and some products show quantity pricing on the product page, with your quote confirming the branded price.
Who buys branded luggage, and what do they get from it?
Incentive trips and client gifts are the classic use. A case is used for years rather than weeks, and it goes through airports, hotels and conference lobbies where your logo is seen by people who travel often, which a mug on a desk never manages. Book early if the gift is for Christmas, because production slots fill from September and sea freight needs the time.
Staff onboarding and travel kits are another good fit. A new consultant who gets a branded carry-on, a luggage tag and a notebook in one box feels part of the team from the first trip, and our kitting service packs the pieces together for you.
Events use the lighter end of the range. A cooler trolley or folding shopping trolley handed out at a market, a council community day or a retail promotion gets reused every week, so your logo travels to the shops and the park long after the event ends.
