Hofbauer Maxibag Buying Guide

Unlike most plastic cases of this type, Hofbauer Maxibags are not manufactured from polypropylene, but instead from an ABS material (Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol). Besides providing a point of difference, the main benefit of this is that provides the cases with improved toughness and durability.

But this is just the start of the range of features and benefits that Hofbauer have crammed into these cases.

Available in 21 sizes, it makes Maxibags one of the largest ranges in terms of the dimensions available. Focusing on larger case sizes (for smaller options Hofbauer would recommend the Minibag range instead), and coupled with the tough material, this makes Maxibag cases a good option for mid-level / duty equipment transit.

The cases exhibit a square, angular design that, as well as providing a contemporary appearance with clean lines, offers other benefits too.

This includes the internal space of the cases being well optimised, allowing for a large collection of items to be stored. It also makes adding custom foam inserts relatively simple, which in turn considerably enhances both the aesthetics and protection offered.

The range of 3 colours, contrasting catches and various branding options also ensure that the case can be tailored to your brand identity too.

Hofbauer’s cases have a reputation for both quality and the range of features included as standard – and Maxibags are no different. Plus, again in traditional Hofbauer style, Maxibags also provide a distinct appearance from both the other options from the German manufacturer, and the alternative carry cases available.

Whilst there a number of cases that provide a “bridge” between the regular plastic carry cases and the heavier duty options (such as WAG Heavy, Hofbauer Megabag etc.), there is less said about the cases that do the same between the lightweight sample cases and mid-range options.

Maxibags arguably fall into this category, being equally suited to presentations as it is to transporting equipment.

The benefits of using sample cases for your sales teams to use in sales meetings should be obvious. But if it isn’t, doing so can not only aid the running of any presentation, but also protect samples and project a professional appearance to potential clients too.

Hofbauer Maxibags are a great choice for this, especially when enhanced with bespoke foam inserts. This allows for any samples to be more easily retrieved, stored and presented.

Maxibags can also have branding added to help drive home brand recall, with even the foam inserts offering branding potential through laser etching.

The use of ABS instead of Polypropylene – which gives a somewhat tougher finish – means that Hofbauer Maxibag cases are a great mid-range option for protecting tools and equipment.

This is particularly useful for service engineers or staff installing equipment out on site, that will need access to a selection of tools, parts and equipment.

Maxibags with foam inserts not only offer good levels of protection for these items but can also help efficiency (items are easy to find), with the use of tool control foam also helping to prevent items being left on site.

Hofbauer Maxibag cases can be used for medical, pharmaceutical and clean room applications where hygiene is a primary concern.

The cases smooth surfaces allow them to be easily cleaned, whilst they can also be easily printed with important instructions or warnings on how to use the equipment stored within.

As a result, Maxibags are often chosen for protecting (and as part of the sale of) specialist medical devices.

The final common use for Maxibag cases is the arguably one of the most basic of tasks – the storage of small parts and equipment. This can range from anything including screws and fixings, socket sets, screwdrivers, specific parts or components and much else besides. Storing such items in a Maxibag case can help reduce stock wastage through loss or damage.
