Expandable Short-Trip Suitcase is a hardside suitcase combining a compact travel format with a zippered expansion gusset. The gusset adds packing depth when extra space is required, while the standard configuration keeps the case within its base dimensions.

A typical 20-inch configuration uses an ABS, ABS+PC or PP shell, four 360° spinner wheels, a telescopic handle, zipper closure and a divided interior. The format fits weekend travel, short business trips and other travel programs requiring flexible packing capacity.

Expandable Structure
Expansion Gusset
A perimeter zipper opens the gusset around the main compartment and increases the usable packing depth.
Standard Depth
With the expansion zipper closed, the suitcase retains its base depth for routine short-trip packing.
Expanded Depth
Opening the gusset creates additional internal space while keeping the wheel layout and main shell structure unchanged.

Shell Material Options
ABS
ABS provides a rigid molded shell with a practical balance of weight and forming characteristics for short-trip luggage.
ABS+PC
ABS+PC combines ABS and polycarbonate materials within the shell construction, providing a different balance of rigidity, flexibility and surface characteristics.
PP
PP provides a lightweight shell option with higher material flexibility and suitability for molded luggage structures.
Material selection can be matched to the required shell thickness, weight range, surface finish and product specification.
