Sebright Industries, American Tourister In Joint Ventureure

Leading Trash Compactor Manufacturer and Luggage Maker Set To Challenge Airline Carry-On Weight Limits

Sebright Industries, the nation’s leading industrial trash compactor manufacturer and luggage giant American Tourister today announced a joint venture to produce the world’s first piece of carry-on luggage that compresses its contents to 1/270th of their original size.

Built of high-tensile steel, Kevlar and rip-stop nylon, the bag will enable travelers to pack an entire 1-bedroom apartment in a conveniently sized travel-bag that will fit in the overhead compartment of most airplanes.

Early wheeled-luggage prototypes were stable, but unwieldy

The bag comes with wheels for easy airport navigation but, like all wheeled-bags, will tip over whenever you’re in a hurry. Weighing a streamlined 797.2 pounds, the bag has been known to pin small children when it tips, requiring you and at least three other travel companions to rescue anyone under three years of age.

The bag does come with the following TSA-approved warning label:

Caution: Contents of overhead bins may shift during flight. Remove bag carefully. Avoid comas; do not drop on head.

Passengers are still required to carry gels, liquids and plastic explosives in a separate plastic zip-lock bag.
