PP(Polypropylene) luggage
Polypropylene shells: what they do differently
PP is a softer, more flexible shell material than polycarbonate or ABS. That flexibility is the point: a PP shell gives under impact and returns, where a stiffer shell can crack. It also takes a matte finish that hides scuffs better than a gloss surface, which matters on ranges that go through high-traffic retail.
Where PP fits in a range
PP usually sits below polycarbonate on price and above basic ABS on durability. It is the material buyers pick when the range has to survive rough handling at a competitive price, and when a scuff-resistant finish is part of the selling story.
