Hofbauer Maxibag

Slimline cases for samples and equipment

If you need slimline plastic cases for your sales team, service technicians, or other technical staff, Hofbauer Maxibag is a great, cost-effective option.

Hofbauer Maxibags are injection-moulded cases manufactured in Germany. Available in over 20 sizes and four colours, they are suitable for presenting samples, protecting equipment during transit, and storing tools.

At GWP Protective, we can supply the full range of Hofbauer cases, including Maxibag. However, we can also enhance any carry case you need with bespoke foam inserts that provide a precise level of protection (and improve presentation, too). Our team of case experts is also happy to advise on the most suitable case option for your specific application.

Hofbauer Maxibag features

As with most Hofbauer cases, the Maxibag range provides several useful features and benefits.

Catches

The snap-shut catches are the only part of the case independent from the main body. They operate smoothly and efficiently and remain secure over thousands of uses.

Angular design

The clean lines improve the aesthetics and maximise the internal volume. The added space allows you to store more items per case.

Handle

The Maxibag case handle is moulded directly into the body of the case. The design minimises the overall footprint of the cases and makes the handles more durable.

Branding area

The excellent surface finish of Maxibag cases allows you to easily add branding, from the simple addition of labels or vinyl lettering to screen or digital printing.

Moulded feet

Hofbauer Maxibag has feet moulded into the base of the case, allowing them to stand vertically and minimising storage space requirements.

Hinge

The reliable, living hinge (created when moulding the case )provides easy operation over many uses and helps maintain the case’s sleek, streamlined appearance.

Hofbauer Maxibag sizes

Hofbauer Maxibags are available in 21 sizes. The smallest option is 248 x 176 x 67 mm and 0.4kg, and the largest case is 531 x 380 x 232 mm and 2.7kg. All Hofbauer Maxibag cases are available in black, blue, red, and grey.

What size Maxibag cases are available?

The Maxibag range offers one of the largest number of size options of any case—with a huge 21 different size options. These range from the smallest case (248 x 176 x 67mm) to the largest (531 x 380 x 232 mm).

Can I get Maxibags in different colours?

Maxibag cases are available in four standard colours: red, blue, black, and light grey. However, mixing and matching the colours of the main case and the catches (creating some interesting visual effects) or specifying bespoke colours on higher order volumes is possible.

What are Maxibag cases made from?

Hofbauer manufactures Maxibag cases using tough ABS (Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol). The cases are injection-moulded in Germany, which guarantees a high level of quality and precision.

Can I have branding added to my cases?

Maxibag cases have a smooth exterior surface that is perfect for various branding methods. You can specify screen printing of basic logos, digital printing of more complex graphics, or even add labels for a low-cost yet effective option.

Should I include foam inserts in my Maxibag cases?

The protective performance of Hofbauer Maxibag cases is massively enhanced when using custom foam inserts. These inserts can absorb shock caused by mishandling and also help organise products and samples. They even improve the presentation of samples during sales meetings and pitches.

Are Maxibag cases durable enough for my intended use?

Knowing if a plastic case will be suitable for a specific application can be challenging when selecting one. This is where GWP Protective comes in, however. With more than 25 years’ experience in the UK market, chances are we have supplied cases into industries or markets just like yours. We’ll be happy to advise and provide quotes free of charge and with no obligation.
