    The 137th Canton Fair

    CLK Luggage exhibited at the 137th China Import and Export Fair — the Canton Fair — held in Guangzhou in the spring of 2025, with the luggage and bags zone running in the third phase of the fair.

    For our team, the fair is a fixture on the calendar. We've exhibited consistently across editions, and the 137th was no exception. This time we brought our latest injection-mold frame products and a variety of new design pieces, and the response from international clients was exactly what we hoped: steady booth traffic, long conversations about specs, and serious interest in what's coming out of our factory in Ji'an, Jiangxi.

     

    137th Canton Fair at a Glance

    The 137th Canton Fair was held in Guangzhou in spring 2025. Cases and bags were presented during Phase 3 from May 1 to May 5, alongside textiles, footwear, fashion accessories and travel products.

    For luggage buyers, this phase offered an opportunity to compare materials, structures, components and manufacturing capabilities in one place. It also allowed brands and importers to discuss specifications directly with factories before requesting samples or beginning an OEM or ODM project.

     

    What We Showed

    The injection-mold frame line was the centerpiece — the product family that includes our hard-shell PC cases, aluminum-magnesium cases and wide-trolley carry-ons, all built around reinforced frames and TSA-ready lock integration. Alongside them sat the new design products: fresh colorways, updated hardware and detailing that reflect where the market is heading for 2025–2026.

    Buyers from Europe, the Middle East and North America stopped by to compare shells, check wheels and ask the questions that matter — MOQ tiers, lead times, customization depth. That's the part of the fair that never makes the brochure: the conversations that start with "how much" and end with "show me the sample."

     

    Product Highlights from the CLK Booth

    Injection-molded frame luggage

    The frame structure was developed to provide consistent assembly, clean closure alignment and a defined product shape. For sourcing teams, the important points are not appearance alone, but also frame fit, lock positioning, corner strength and repeatability across production batches.

     

    PC hard-shell luggage

    Polycarbonate luggage offers a useful balance between weight, flexibility and impact performance. Buyers can also develop different colors, surface textures, frame treatments, logos and interior layouts to match their target market.

     

    Aluminum-magnesium luggage

    Aluminum-magnesium models focus on a rigid protective structure and a premium visual finish. CLK's current range includes options with TSA locks, reinforced corners, custom colors and brand details for premium travel and business collections.

     

    Wide-trolley luggage

    A wide trolley layout gives the suitcase a distinctive appearance and can create a flatter packing area, depending on the structure. CLK offers wide-trolley models with options such as TSA locks, silent double wheels and customized materials, colors and branding.

     

    Why We Keep Coming Back

    Exhibiting at the Canton Fair is about more than taking orders. It's the fastest way we know to test our product direction against the real global market — 16+ years of OEM/ODM experience, a 4,672-square-meter factory with five production lines and a 98% shipped-batch qualification rate mean nothing if we're building the wrong things. The fair keeps that honest.

    The 137th edition confirmed our direction. If you're sourcing luggage for your brand, the short version of our booth is this: hard-shell, aluminum-magnesium and trolley lines you can customize from shell to zipper, backed by a factory that's been doing it for over a decade and a half.

    See you at the next one — we'll have new samples.
