Paint Swatch Suitcases

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Pantone Universe Luggage Makes Your Travel Experience a Truly Colorful One

— July 14, 2012 — Art & Design
Just when you thought you'd seen these iconic paint chips plastered over some of the most unexpected products, you're introduced to this collection of Pantone Universe luggage. Bold color blocks decorate the wheeled suitcases for a vibrant range of travel gear, all branded with the company's name in white strips along the bottoms.

The rectangular carry cases are ideal canvases to feature the graphic paint swatch patterns. They are typically displayed within the bounds of squares, so leaving pigment-less bands around the bases where one would usually be informed of the tint's name and number.

One of a spectrum of colors is featured on each protective piece of Pantone Universe luggage, wrapping around it to cover the back for easy airport carousel identification.

3. Branded Travel Accessories - Opportunities for disruptive innovation include collaborating with fashion designers and other brands to create limited-edition collections that appeal to a wider audience.
