Most sets arrive in a printed carton that is thrown away within a month, after which the set lives in whatever container is to hand. A set that arrives in a bag skips that entirely: the packaging is the storage, and there is no moment at which the set becomes homeless.
It sounds trivial. It is the single most common reason mahjong sets end up incomplete, because a set without a home loses tiles.
The numeral is printed alongside the Chinese character on each suit tile. A beginner reads a hand immediately instead of memorising 27 symbols first, and picks up the characters by association over the following weeks.
Regular players stop seeing the numerals almost at once, so there is no downside.
Properly portable without being tiny. A full wall builds on a small table, and the printed numerals remain clear at normal reading distance.
3 bag options. In a group where several people own sets, this is the practical way to know whose is whose, particularly when sets travel between houses week to week.
A soft bag protects against dispersal, not against impact. Anything that lands on it lands on the tiles, so a set that lives in a car boot under shopping will accumulate chipped corners in a way a boxed set will not.
For a set that mostly moves between houses in a hand, the bag is the right choice. For one that lives in a vehicle, a hard case is worth the extra bulk.
Barely damp cloth for the tiles. Keep the bag dry. Count the tiles back into it at the end of every session.

The sound alone
Shuffling a real set is half the pleasure. Weight in your hand, that clack across the table: you can hear it before you see it.
Yours for twenty years
A set outlasts the group it started with. Choose one you'll still want on the table when someone else is dealing.
Look at what they already carry. Most players own tiles and improvise everything around them, so the gap is usually transport rather than the game itself. A set that arrives in its own handbag closes both at once for someone who has never owned a proper set, and for someone who has, the bag alone is often the thing they have been meaning to sort out for years.
Because you are buying 144 objects that all have to match. Each tile is moulded or cut, engraved, coloured and polished, and one that comes out wrong makes the whole set unsellable rather than costing one tile. Weight then decides the shipping: this one runs to 1.3 kg with its bag. A set is closer to a small production run than to a single product.
Big enough for the tiles plus whatever travels with them, and stiff enough not to sag under the weight. Tiles are dense: 144 at 24 mm come to 1.3 kg here with the bag included, and a full sized set weighs considerably more. The bag supplied with this set is cut for its own contents, which removes the guesswork. If you are buying a bag separately, measure the closed case rather than the loose tiles.
The audience is small and the objects are specific. A tile bag cannot be repurposed from a generic tote pattern because the load is heavy and concentrated, racks have to match a tile width, cases have to hold a fixed count. Nothing benefits from the volumes that ordinary bags or boxes enjoy, and each piece is made for one game played by a fraction of the people who buy handbags.
A mahjong set is handled more than almost anything else in the house: every tile passes through four pairs of hands, several times a game.
That is what we select for. Tiles that read clearly from the far side of the table, edges that stay clean, and a case that still closes after a few seasons of being carried around.
Sets differ in ways that only show at the table: the weight of a tile in the hand, how a crak reads from three seats away, whether the case survives the trip to a friend’s house.
When we have the figures, we publish them: tile count, tile size, weight and material. When we do not have one, we leave it out rather than guess.
