I’m Ken McKaba.

I've been a software engineer my whole life. I got a degree in business and co-founded a small successful software company.

I dreamed up the ShelfPack while I was on a long business trip, digging through my luggage day after day. I envisioned shelves to make my gear easier to see and get at.

The idea really intrigued me and at home I started tinkering with it, dismantling old luggage for parts and even sewing shelves myself.

I experimented with multiple variations and took the prototypes I made on business and family trips. I lent them to friends for their trips and my wife traveled through Europe with it. The idea evolved and improved.

With encouragement from friends and family, I found someone to make them for me, a well-established luggage source that has built products for many major brands.

I got a small booth at the 2015 Travel Goods Show in Las Vegas and unveiled the ShelfPack. It created quite a stir. The show had hundreds of booths, all the major brands, and thousands of products. I was thrilled when the ShelfPack won the ‘Buzz’ award for the best new product of the year.

Since then, there has been national press coverage from Fox News, the Travel Channel, CNBC and more. Distributors, catalogs and stores are lining up to carry it.

There hasn’t been a major innovation in luggage since rolling luggage came along in the 1980’s. Be among the first to own a ShelfPack.
