The history of Crown can be traced back to 1952, formerly known as Ming Tian Leather Goods Factory established in Taiwan, and once established one of the largest luggage production bases in Asia, and the main production base is currently in Zhongshan, Guangdong. Crown luggage was all the rage in the 80s, selling well in more than 40 countries, and was often selected as the designated special bag for the Chinese sports delegation.
Crown does not produce and sell soft cases, and the hard cases are mostly made of PC ABS three-layer composite materials, from the inside to the outside are two layers of ABS and one layer of PC material, which is different from it luggage, which mixes ABS and PC and co-extrusion. There is not much difference between the two in terms of weight, for example, the Crown 20-inch zipper case 5161 weighs only 2.6kg, which is lighter than the IT luggage case 16-1387-02; The net weight of the aluminum-framed hard case, such as the 5188 suitcase, is also between 3.8kg, which is within the acceptable range. In terms of capacity, the capacity of Crown's many 20-inch cabin suitcases can reach 43-45 liters, which is higher than the capacity of 35-38L of general cabin suitcases. Overall, the Crown excels in hard case weight and capacity control.
However, in terms of durability and detailed design, the performance of the crown is relatively inferior. A suitcase made of ABS PC is not as durable as a pure PC suitcase. Aluminum alloy levers are more durable, but some styles only have two gear adjustment levers, which is slightly inconvenient for tall people. Even if the zipper model adopts a double-layer explosion-proof zipper, the combination lock can still be broken by observing the gap in the password turntable, and the security is average. Although the single-row universal wheel (four-wheel) product is smooth and easy to tow, the resistance and noise are small, but the wheel stability is poor, it is recommended to buy two-wheel universal wheel (eight-wheel) products.
The price of crown suitcases is mostly around 1,000 yuan, and the aluminum frame box of the same specification is about 300-500 yuan higher than the zipper box, which is quite competitive in the mid-range suitcase.
