Carry-on backpack vs. carry-on suitcase
Carry-on backpacks are a practical and versatile option for travelers. In contrast to conventional suitcases, they offer more flexibility and freedom of movement. A well-designed backpack allows you to keep all your essentials close at hand while keeping your hands free. Whether you're traveling by plane, train or bus, a carry-on backpack is an essential accessory for modern travelers.
When choosing, there are several important factors that should be considered. Here are some points to help you find the right backpack for your needs:
Size and weight of the carry-on backpack
If you plan to use your backpack as carry-on luggage, it's important to pay attention to airline size and weight restrictions. Most airlines have specific carry-on luggage requirements, so your backpack should meet the requirements to avoid problems when boarding. Make sure your backpack is the right size and not too heavy to be accepted as carry-on luggage.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide uniform information about the permitted size of your hand luggage backpack due to many different airlines with their own regulations. Many factors, such as the fare you booked, can determine the size and weight of the carry-on backpack allowed.
Carry-on backpack dimensions
The Paper & Sons kraft paper backpacks are perfect as hand luggage backpacks due to their dimensions. Many airlines allow one piece of hand luggage measuring a maximum of 55 x 40 x 20 cm and weighing between 8 and 10 kg. Our feather-light kraft paper backpacks (between 300 and 600 grams) are therefore very suitable as they hardly take up any weight for your travel essentials.
