Calpak states all luggage dimensions in inches on its own product pages. For hardside luggage (Ambeur, Hue) the specifications section explicitly labels the larger figure Exterior, Including wheel, with a separate smaller Interior figure for packing space, so the exterior number already accounts for wheels and handles. For softside duffels and the Terra backpack duffel it publishes a single Dimensions figure since those bags have no wheels. On at least two Ambeur and one Terra product page, an older marketing bullet elsewhere on the same page states a slightly different, usually lower, dimension or weight than the labeled specifications section; the labeled specifications figure was treated as authoritative in this dataset, with the alternate figure noted per bag.
