ComPact Luggage Design

The ComPact Luggage design solution aims to encourage the use of a luggage rental system by providing a convenient and compact transportable baggage alternative to avoid the storing of expensive and bulky luggage at home which is used once or twice a year. Also avoiding disposal due to infrequent use which may otherwise contribute to the ever growing landfill.

The design allows consumers to travel to and from the airport with easy to transfer hire luggage. This design avoids the hassle of organising return as it’s obtained and returned at the international/ domestic airports.  Whilst the small, flat packed bag design has the ability to be mailed to the consumer immediately once ordered, increase the productivity of the luggage bags rentals and minimising storage capacity for the consumer.

Service

The service is the ability for consumers to participate in luggage hire services with much needed convenience. The service hires out the expensive hard shell casing desired by consumers for the ultimate security and durability needed for the time spent on holidays. The service provides this additional insert luggage design to enrich the systems service in obtaining, returning and storing with a stylish advantage.

Design Critic

This design is made of  polypropylene plastic which has both environmental benefits and social benefits. This material has the ability to be recycled with the light weight characteristic that benefits mailing and transporting for the consumer. It is able to provide the required stiffness for this design and stylish appeal.

The compatibility provides a great advantage for the consumer using this system due to minimum storing ability and neat organisation advantage. The soft but stiff biodegradable material for the main casing allows easy mould ability and flexibility.

The colour scheme is kept corporal, simple and sleek with the subtle detailing linking to its sophistication. This is to say that the baggage made of PC/ABS shell design would replicate this design to act as a family of product for the service system. Same goes for the RFID card that is design with the addition rubber strips on the side to activate the key as a locater for their luggage. This assist in gripping and the contrasting texture allows for durability due to extensive usage due to the sharing system.

This sizing of this design is a small, singular personal usage. This acts as an easy visual indicator for consumers to allocate how much space – small or large bags needed for their use based on the number of occupants traveling. So one is the size for a small bag and 2 bags designs are for a large bag which normally allocates 2 people. The mailing of the is product based on the size acts as a n advantage fitting it’s a standardisers packaging which is seen to be required to reflect the quality of the hired luggage and this specification eliminates the need to produces additional packaging. The shaping allows easy transfer into the hard shells for the security as well as the u zipper making it very accessible to re accessed and filled.
