Hinged plastic boxes
If you or your sales teams need portrait-format sample cases or added-value packaging for retail, WAG swing cases are an interesting option.
The WAG Swing case range – similar in appearance to WAGs own Beat cases – are perfect for the presentation and protection of any small format items. This can range from small parts, product sets, gift items and collectables (amongst others).
At GWP Protective, we can not only supply Swing cases but also customise them with print, inserts, and custom foam inserts. Our UK case specialists can also advise, if required, on any alternative cases that may be more suited to your application, market, products, or budget.
WAG Swing case features
WAG Swing cases feature an array of features and benefits.
Handle
The handle doubles as a strong “clip closure,” helping to minimise the case’s footprint and enhance usability.
Ribbed sections
The ribbed design on the edges of the cases provides a unique visual appearance and additional strength.
Hinge
The hinge on Swing cases runs along the entire width. This ensures that it operates smoothly and is durable and long-lasting.
Branding area
The surfaces of the WAG Swing cases provide various branding options. They can allow for easy label application, or digital/screen printing.
Moulded feet
Although you can use Swing cases horizontally and vertically, the moulded feet on the bottom keep the case stable when standing upright.
Stacking pins
Swing cases feature small stacking pins on the sides, allowing multiple cases to be safely stacked together (ideal for larger sets of products that may run into multiple cases).
WAG Swing case sizes
WAG Swing cases are available in six sizes. The smallest of these is 93 x 60 x 25 mm, with the largest case being 112 x 225 x 50 mm. As with most WAG cases, Swing is available in eight standard colours: black, dark grey, silver, blue, navy, red, yellow, and transparent.

What size Swing cases are available?
Swing cases are available in six main sizes, catering to smaller products and items. The smallest case is 93 x 60 x 25 mm, and the largest is 112 x 225 x 50 mm (please note that these figures refer to the inside dimensions).
Can these be used for retail applications?
Swing cases are an excellent option for retail applications. This is particularly true for sets of products (drill bits are a great example), where the consumer will see real value in having a case to keep the items in on an ongoing basis.
Are Swing cases available with transparent lids?
WAG Swing cases are available with transparent lids to increase their suitability for use as value-added retail packaging. These clear lids allow consumers to see the products they buy (rather than relying on print or labels) before purchasing.
What colours are available?
WAG Swing cases are available in a standard seven colours or eight when including transparent. A further 12 options are subject to specific order volumes, and it is also possible to specify completely custom hues if you need a very high volume.
How can I brand these plastic boxes?
Swing, like Beat and other WAG Cases, can be branded in various ways. Options include simple labelling, vinyl lettering, screen printing, digital printing, and even in-mould labelling.
What is in-mould labelling?
In-mould labelling is where a high-quality image (including photographic) is printed and added to the case structure during the moulding process. This process provides a much more durable finish than printing methods.
What are Swing cases made from?
W.AG manufactures swing cases in Germany using high-quality, impact-resistant polypropylene. WAG also offers a number of cases using a more environmentally friendly plastic, known as its “Green Line” option.
Swing case alternatives
Whilst few cases feature the vertical orientation of WAG Swing cases, there is a wide range of alternative options you may wish to consider.
