Front Open Luggage Delivers Unmatched Accessibility Allowing You To Retrieve Items In Seconds Ideal For Busy Airports And Last Minute Needs
Picture this: you are racing through an overcrowded airport terminal with your boarding pass clutched in one hand while holding a hot cup of coffee in the other. The gate agent just announced that final boarding has begun for your flight! Suddenly, it dawns on you—panic sets in—you will have to dig through the bottom of your suitcase because you cannot find your passport! With a conventional suitcase, this scenario would mean opening the zipper on top, searching through layer upon layer of freshly stuffed clothing, and most likely making everything spill out everywhere around you as you look for your passport! Now, let us look at this scenario again using new technology available today. Instead of having to go through all those layers of packed items, you simply stand your “front-open” suitcase upright, hit a button or unclip the latch, and woooosh—the front panel opens like the door to your kitchen cabinet, and everything inside is seen in an organized manner—oh my god! My passport is in the dedicated passport pocket! I take it out in seconds, close the panel, and confidently walk to my gate with my passport in my hand. THIS IS NOT A DREAM OR FANTASY—it is THE FUTURE of front-open luggage. A “front-open” luggage piece offers you maximum accessibility, allowing you to retrieve ANY ITEMS from ANY PLACE within SECONDS—this is perfect for airports and last minute packing and traveling experiences. The way that we travel has changed immensely. Today’s traveler, business or family, has little time and so much to do. Therefore, they require their gear and luggage to be efficient, convenient and accessible. While clamshell-style suitcases are an effective method of organizing your belongings, they usually do not allow for quick access during critical times of your trip—such as when you are boarding a flight. Front-Open luggage solves this issue by making it an accessibly companion instead of just a “storage container.” Designers re-imagined how luggage is built so that the capacity to retrieve items in milliseconds instead of minutes is prioritized, so stressful times in life become less of a hassle to manage and provide for easier transitions into different areas of your life.For the modern-day traveller, the front-open design of luggage allows for maximum accessibility and efficiency, with quick access to travel necessities. The system uses a unique engineering solution to make travel as simple and hassle-free as possible.
The front-open design of luggage is made up of an easy-to-use, well-engineered system. Where most luggage must be laid completely flat and then fully unzipped along three sides to get to the main compartment, with front-open luggage, the front panel of the luggage is constructed from a rigid or semi-rigid material and has its own set of hinges (or is latched shut) on the inside of the front panel. The front panel of luggage makes up approximately 70% to 80% of the front of the luggage case and opens to reveal an \"access compartment\" specifically intended for easy access to those items that are typically kept outside of the main packing area (clamshell opening on the opposite side).
There is also a significant difference in how you use the front-open design of luggage. All of the items in the access compartment are easily identified because of their various pockets (mesh, zippered, elastic, and padded) that allow for easy storage and retrieval of laptops, tablets, documents, chargers, toiletries, and a change of clothing. All of your travel essentials can be stored in one designated spot (the access compartment) where you can easily see and reach for them without needing to open the entire suitcase before finding the items that you need. You have a complete view of the contents in the access compartment as soon as you open the front panel.Transforming the Airport Experience: Increasing the Speed and Efficiency of Airport Operations
Front-open luggage provides a significant benefit when travelling by air due to the high levels of stress associated with travelling by air. At an airport, everything moves quickly, and there is a constant shortage of time. In order to get through security or make it to your gate, having easy access to the items required (for example, your laptop and your liquids) is extremely helpful. When being screened through security, you will no longer need to open your complete suitcase to retrieve either your laptop or your liquids. You are able to retrieve these items quickly, and this allows for both quicker processing of your luggage and allows the people behind you to process their luggage faster as well. Because the front compartment is separate from the main compartment of the suitcase, items placed in the main compartment do not become wrinkled or out of order when you retrieve your laptop or your liquids.
The front-panel access feature also allows for the suitcase to serve as a \"station\" when you are at a layover or waiting for your flight at a gate. When you need to retrieve a charging cable, book, or snack, simply opening the front compartment allows you to do so quickly and easily. If you are a business traveller heading directly from the airport to a business meeting, you can retrieve your presentation folder or blazer in just a few seconds. Thus, when using this type of suitcase, you will have less stress regarding last-minute searches for these items and will feel more in control and prepared for travel.
Front-open luggage changes the mindset of packing and travelling. You will have a better sense of organisation by separating items separately based on how often you use them. The clamshell portion of the luggage is intended to hold apparel, handbags and other large objects and other objects you will not need until you arrive at your final destination. The other area of the luggage (the area that you access from the front) is intended to hold “in transit” essentials. This arrangement serves two purposes: expedites the amount of time it takes for you to access your goods; protects your goods through designated areas versus making you dig through bags to locate them.
The electronics area allows you to keep electronics separate from lotions or cosmetics. By having a designated area for your electronics, in the event of a spill from the toiletries stored there (in a clear bag), you’re providing additional protection to the electronics. The design allows for easy visibility of everything in the area of the open panel. That means you can complete an instant inventory of your items. This feature allows you to ensure you don’t leave something critical at either the hotel or the security checkpoint. Organizing your luggage in this manner allows for quicker packing/unpacking of all items at either end of your trip.
Effectively Utilising Front-Access Luggage: Versatility of Modern Living
While airports are the ideal environments for this type of luggage, the versatility of front access luggage is beneficial for other types of travel, such as road travel, train travel, mobile offices and digital nomads. This area is an excellent fit for those taking a day trip while on vacation, holding a bottle of water, sunscreen, a map, and a camera without disturbing the rest of your luggage. This section also serves as an overnight bag for business travel — carrying everything that is needed for an overnight meeting.
Another benefit of the design of front-access luggage is that you can better distribute the weight of your items. By packing heavier items, like computers and documents, in the front section of the suitcase where they are aligned with the telescopic handle of the suitcase, your centre of gravity will be improved. This improved distribution will offer better balance and manoeuvrability when the bag is upright. Less strain will be placed on you when rolling the suitcase through cobblestone streets, crowded public transportation, or long hallways of hotels. In summary, this layout provides the ability to adapt to the fast-paced lifestyle of today, where the demands of living change very quickly and regular items become obsolete.
In conclusion, front access luggage is not just a trend; it is a response to the increasing demands placed on modern-day travellers. The easy access to your items and the ability to quickly retrieve them at any point along the way, reduces the common frustrations of busy airports and late minute needs. The innovative design emphasising the ability to stay organised while being as efficient as possible and as adaptable as necessary helps you move through your journey with confidence and ease. When time is the most precious commodity, a suitcase that gives you more seconds to spend and less time worrying about lost items is not only a luggage, but an indispensable tool for today’s savvy traveller.
