Custom Case Manufacturers

If you have not been able to find a protective case that is one hundred percent perfect for your specific application, then a custom case designed and manufactured by an experienced and knowledgeable team could be the answer.

Covering everything from traditional flight cases to product sample cases – and even the new waterproof EXOCase™ system – you can specify a custom-built case that is a perfect fit for your business.

As an independent business, GWP Protective are able to offer the widest range of waterproof, aluminium, plastic and other types of protective cases available from a single source.

Besides the wide range of case options available, your business can also enhance any case you source from GWP in a number of ways. This includes the inclusion of custom engineered foam inserts, as well external print and various branding options.

Sometimes it is impossible to find an “off the shelf” case that is the correct size for a specific product or application. Maybe the cases of the right size do not have suitable handles or do not feature wheels for ease of transportation. Perhaps even the appearance is not what you are looking for.

Regardless of the issues you are facing, working with a custom case manufacturer such as GWP Protective can allow you to design and source a case that is tailored to your requirements.

With an almost limitless number of configurable options, both custom flight cases and the brand new EXOCase™ can provide a bespoke case that is exactly as you require. This is in addition to lighter weight, custom sample cases such as N Case and Smart case that are ideal for sales teams presenting samples etc.

Plus, when manufactured in tandem with custom foam inserts, you can also be certain of a perfect fit between case and foam, as well as calculated levels of cushioning protection if required.

With a highly skilled and experienced team of designers and workshop staff, your cases can be manufactured to practically any specification.

By firstly creating a template within the latest design software, it is possible to fine tune this before passing the perfect, finalised specification to an experienced production team.

This approach also means that a copy of the drawings for every flight case, foam insert and additional products is kept on file – ensuring should you ever need to re-order, you can get an exact replica within a very short lead time.

Below are details of the standard components that tend to be used during the process of protective case manufacture. However, please note that this list is not exhaustive and if you cannot see what you require then please contact our team to discuss your specific needs.

Pre laminated or treated Plywood is used for the case panels as it is light, durable, and resistant to scratching and moisture. Beware of companies selling cheap alternatives created from MDF however, which will fail very quickly. GWP can source different panels material for additional strength – or specific presentation purposes – if required.

Closing, locking and / or mating extrusions are used between the case and the lid to ensure a solid and secure closure, and are supplied as male / female. There are also special fittings for shallow lid and top hat constructions.

L or single angle extrusions are used as edge liners, running along the inside edge (meaning panels can be riveted to the fixture).

There are a wide range of different latch styles that you can choose from, dependent on the type of custom case you are specifying. As just one example, Butterfly latches, usually recessed, are commonly used to keep flight cases securely closed during transit.

Straight or ball corners provide both a closure where the edges meet, as well as edge protection if cases are dropped. They can also eradicate sharp edges on the corners, so as not to damage each other if used together in transit.

Hinges, again fairly self-explanatory, are used for the opening and closing mechanism.

Handles come in a range of shapes and sizes, although are commonly sprung and recessed. Most are now ergonomically designed so as to provide comfortable movement.

Castors are often used on larger cases for ease of transportation, although you can specify these to (almost) any case if required.
