Travel retail (duty-free and airport shops) requires specific design logic focused on weight, durability, and multi-functionality.
Design Requirements:
TSA Compliance: Ensuring scissors have rounded tips or blade lengths under 4 inches to meet international flight security standards.
Weight Optimization: Using hollow-core handles or aircraft-grade aluminum to reduce the “shipping weight” and the weight in a traveler¡¯s carry-on.
Magnetic Closure Systems: Instead of zippers that can snag, many OEM travel sets now use high-strength magnets to ensure the kit stays closed under the pressure of a packed suitcase.
