Also means
small suitcase
Usage Note
Maletín is the diminutive of maleta (suitcase) but has largely separated in meaning: it specifically denotes a briefcase or small document bag carried to work. The written accent of the singular is dropped in the plural maletines, since the stress then falls on the penultimate syllable.
Examples
"Lleva sus documentos en el maletín."
Natural Translation
He carries his documents in the briefcase.
