Abstract

A luggage case (10) includes a main packing door (20) that has defined two volume pockets. A volume pocket (26) extends across the top of the packing door and a second volume pocket (38) across the bottom and major portion of the packing door. Elongated panels such as inverted U-shaped panel (22), elongated panel (40), and a second elongated panel (30), all include a stiffening foam layer which, together with door panel (28) and rectangular panel (34), define an overall truncated pyramid shape on the main access door. A single textile divider panel (44) separates the first and second volume pockets a minimum amount of material or sewing being required.
