Plastic Cases

Plastic cases can mean different things to different people (and businesses). It could be a lightweight case for carrying samples. It could be a carry case for transporting equipment onto site. Or it could even be a completely watertight case for extreme protection.

You can source all of these types of plastic travel cases for your business from GWP. What’s more, you can also take advantage of a full foam conversion service, allowing you to benefit from plastic cases with foam inserts that provide increased protection and enhanced aesthetics.

Often referred to as sample cases or salesman cases, the below selection of plastic carry cases with handles are perfect for sales pitches and presentations, as well as for medium duty protection for tools and service equipment.

If your equipment, tools, components or products simply cannot be broken, the range of extra tough, waterproof plastic cases are for you. With well-known brands including Peli™ and Explorer, your business can benefit from cutting edge protection.

There are arguably two compelling reasons why plastic cases are great choice for such a wide range of applications – the amount of choice available (in terms of sizes, styles, colours, strength etc.) and their competitive price points.

The sheer range of case styles and brands virtually guarantees that there will be a suitable plastic case for your requirements. The varying levels of protective performance – everything from lightweight plastic through to fully watertight IP rated cases – also ensures that there is a plastic travel case for any application.

Plastic cases are typically lower in cost that aluminium containers or custom-built options such as flight cases. Whilst prices vary dependent on quality, material, strength etc., the vast array of options means there is likely to be a case that fits your budget as well as your intended use.

There are numerous other reasons to use plastic cases too.

This includes them being easy to clean, thanks to their smooth surfaces and the nature of their design (many include integrated hinges and catches for example).

Besides this, even the lightweight plastic cases tend to be fairly durable and robust, providing good longevity. This allows for many hundreds of uses (often thousands) which means that the lifetime costs of the cases work out very favourably.

They also offer good levels of protection and resistance to water (with the high-end cases providing IP ratings of 67 or more). They also offer wide range of customisation options.

And finally, plastic cases can usually be recycled at the end of their usable life. Typically, being manufactured from Polypropylene or similar materials, it allows them to be recycled if taken to specialist recycling centres.

Plastic cases also provide excellent customisation potential.

Whilst most cases offer a number of varying options as standard – such as colours, lid stays, catch colours and even options for clear plastic cases (with many offering split lid / base colours), GWP can offer your business many options beyond this too.

This includes enhanced protection and presentation for your items within the case through the use of fully engineered foam inserts. These case inserts – or even a simple foam lining – can help organise items and absorb any forces caused by mishandling that may damage them.

As well as foam inserts offering the potential to improve aesthetics (particularly with shadow-board foam using contrasting colours), your plastic cases appearance can be enhanced in other ways too.

This includes printing onto the surface of your carry cases (particularly beneficial when using them as salesman sample cases), adding detailed graphics through in mould labelling (ideal for retail applications) or even simple vinyl lettering and labels.
