一、出張用スーツケースは何L必要?容量の目安を比較

For a two-night business trip, the luggage you need is fairly simple.
For most people, the following is the basic set.

  • Change of clothes (shirts and underwear, enough for 2-3 days each)
  • Laptop and charger
  • Document/Business Card Case
  • Toiletries and gadgets

This amount will easily fit into a suitcase of around 30-40 liters .
Choosing an unnecessarily large size can make it difficult to handle while traveling, leading to fatigue during business trips.

出張日数 目安容量 サイズ 主な荷物
1〜2泊 30〜40L Sサイズ スーツ・着替え1〜2日分・PC・書類
3〜5泊 40〜60L Mサイズ スーツ・着替え3〜5日分・PC・書類・洗面用品
1週間前後 60〜80L M〜Lサイズ スーツ・着替え1週間分・PC・書類・資料多め

出張と観光旅行の違い

When choosing a suitcase for a two-night business trip, the following three points are important:

① Carry-on size <br>For business trips involving frequent travel by bullet train and airplane, a carry-on size that doesn't require checked baggage is overwhelmingly convenient.
You can start moving immediately upon arrival, preventing wasted time.

② Lightweight and easy to maneuver <br>Since I often walk long distances in airports and train stations, a model that is lightweight and has quiet, smooth-rolling casters is ideal.

③ Practicality of being usable while standing upright <br>In hotel rooms or while waiting before a meeting,
Front-opening design and an easy-to-organize storage structure make a big difference.

二、2泊出張におすすめのスーツケース選び

2泊出張の荷物量

For a business trip lasting five nights, the amount of luggage required is significantly different from that for a two-night trip.
At a minimum, you will need the following items:

  • Change of clothes (shirts and underwear for 5-6 days)
  • A spare suit or jacket.
  • Laptops and peripherals
  • Complete set of documents and materials
  • Bathroom and personal care products
  • Souvenirs and additional materials for the return trip

Therefore, if the capacity is less than 40-60L , you tend to run out of storage space.
Using a suitcase that's too small makes packing and unpacking difficult, increasing stress during business trips.

2泊出張で重視したいポイント

When it comes to suitcases for a five-night business trip, stability and storage capacity are more important than lightness.

① Designed with ample capacity <br>Assuming that you will have more luggage on the way back,
We recommend models with expansion features or box-shaped models that are easy to pack.

② Durability and stability of the frame <br>For a five-night business trip with long-distance travel and frequent checked luggage,
The structure is resistant to external impacts, giving you peace of mind.

③ Function to reduce stress during travel <br>As the weight increases,
- Casters with stoppers and highly quiet running performance are essential features.

三、5泊出張におすすめのスーツケース選び

5泊出張の荷物量

  • 2-3 suits
  • 5 days' worth of clothes
  • Laptop and tablet
  • Chargers and cables
  • Documents, materials, business cards
  • Toiletries
  • Additional items for overseas business trips (passport, voltage converter, etc.)

Estimated capacity: approx. 50-70L

For a 5-day business trip, you'll need enough capacity to store both clothes and work essentials.

Additionally, for overseas business trips, consider choosing a bag with extra capacity, as you may acquire souvenirs or additional documents on your return journey.

5泊出張で重視したいポイント

① Storage Capacity

For organizing and storing belongings for a five-night trip, models with ample dividers and pockets are convenient.

A dedicated laptop pocket is particularly reassuring when traveling.

 

② Expansion Feature

If you anticipate an increase in documents or souvenirs on your return, models with an expansion feature allow you to increase the capacity.

You can use it compactly on the way there and expand it on the way back.

 

③ Durability

For long business trips, with frequent airline check-ins and long-distance travel,

choosing highly durable materials (polycarbonate or ABS+PC) provides peace of mind.

 

④ Caster Performance

For a five-night business trip involving frequent long-distance movement at airports and stations, quiet and stable casters are important. Models equipped with brand-name casters, such as those made by HINOMOTO, are recommended.

五、ビジネス出張におすすめのNew Tripスーツケース

2泊出張に最適|New Trip 0702 Plus

When choosing a suitcase for business trips, the main points that can be confusing are:
The problem is that you choose a hotel without being clear about how many nights you can stay.

  • For a two-night business trip , you can carry it on board and travel efficiently → New Trip 0702 Plus
  • For a 5-night business trip , you can manage both work equipment and clothes. → New Trip 0501

In this way, simply considering the number of business trip days as a criterion will naturally narrow down the optimal model.

For short business trips, "lightness and speed" are important, while for medium to long business trips, "storage capacity and ease of use" are important.

Choose the one that best suits your business travel style.

It will definitely reduce travel stress and improve work efficiency at your destination.

六、よくある質問(FAQ)

Q1. 2泊出張と5泊出張、同じスーツケースを使いまわせますか?

A1:はい、Mサイズ(40〜60L)を選べば、2泊の時は少なめに詰め、5泊の時は満杯に詰めることで、両方に対応できます。拡張機能付きモデルなら、さらに柔軟に対応できます。

Q2. 出張用スーツケースで最も重要な機能は?

A2:フロントオープン機能です。出張先で急にPCや書類を取り出す場面が多いため、全体を開けずにサッと取り出せるフロントオープンが非常に便利です。次いで、ストッパー機能も電車移動が多い出張では重宝します。

Q3. 機内持ち込みサイズで5泊出張は可能ですか?

A3:荷物を最小限に抑えれば可能ですが、スーツや書類が多い場合は難しいです。機内持ち込みサイズ(約40L)は2泊程度が目安です。5泊出張ではMサイズ(50〜70L)を預け入れる方が安心です。

Q4. 出張用スーツケースは観光旅行にも使えますか?

A4:はい、使えます。特にフロントオープン機能は観光旅行でも便利です。ただし、観光旅行ではお土産などで荷物が増えやすいため、拡張機能付きモデルがおすすめです。

Q5. スーツがしわにならないパッキング方法は?

A5:スーツは専用のガーメントバッグに入れるか、スーツケース内で平らに置き、上に柔らかい衣類を重ねるとしわになりにくくなります。また、到着後すぐにハンガーにかけることで、しわを最小限に抑えられます。
