Suitcase cover with owner's photo

Anyone who has flown on a plane with luggage at least once in their life will remember how tiring it is to wait for a suitcase at the baggage belt after queuing at passport control and a long flight. Not only are there a lot of bags, but many of them are similar in size and color. No one wants their luggage to be taken by another passenger by mistake.

There are many ways to make your suitcase stand out: a special tag, stickers and stickers, a bright ribbon on the handle. But the most convenient and functional option is a case with your own image.

What is this “trick” and what is it for?

The cover is a kind of “bag” with holes for handles and wheels, which is pulled over the suitcase and completely covers its surface. This accessory has many advantages:

• it will help keep your luggage safe and sound. This is additional protection of property in the event of accidental opening of the suitcase lock, as well as its parts from dirt, abrasions, scratches and other damage.After the trip, the cover can simply be washed;
• individual design will help you easily recognize luggage from dozens of others;
• saving money on packing your bag at the airport. There, the film wrapping service costs about 300–500 rubles. By purchasing a cover, you will not have to pay several times for the same procedure;
• disguising an old and shabby bag as a new accessory;
• it can be selected to suit any size of suitcase, any image can be applied;
• it will allow you to stand out from the crowd and show your originality.

What kinds of photo cases are there?

To make the case, stretch fabrics are used to stretch it without much effort, but so that it fits snugly to the surface of the luggage. The most commonly used are spandex, supplex and stretch.

The dimensions of the product depend on the manufacturer, but usually three sizes are offered: small, medium and large (S, M, L). Some companies make cases tailored to the individual measurements of your suitcase.

As for the choice of photographs to be applied to fabric, it depends only on the wishes of the buyer. The most unusual and fun option is a case with a personal image - a photo of the owner’s face. Such a personalized item will be absolutely unique, and its owner will never get lost among other travelers.

Other images can be applied to the fabric, for example:

• company logo for employee travel on business trips;
• sports team emblem for flights to competitions;
• any other picture of the customer’s choice: animals, plants, favorite city, abstract patterns and much more.
