What are Ergoline Cases?
Plastic carry cases ideal for presenting samples
Being perfect for everything from salesman samples cases all the way through to protecting tools, models, toys and hobby equipment, the Rose Plastic range of Ergoline plastic cases are a good, light to mid duty option for most businesses.
The overwhelming benefit of lightweight plastic cases such as those in the Ergoline range is the cost, however.
Being extremely competitive when compared with the heavy-duty alternatives, it offers a truly cost-effective solution where the level of protection does not need to be quite so high.
Despite this, the injection moulded polypropylene construction of these carry cases ensures that they are still hardwearing and long lasting, ensuring they remain a long-term solution to a range of storage and transit requirements.
Finally, the attractive aesthetics of these plastic cases means they are ideal for use as sample presentation cases.
Used for salesmen samples and for presenting products either in a business to business or retail environment, their appearance ensures they will not look out of place at any important meeting or presentation.

Applications
Common uses for Ergoline cases
The construction and design of the RoseCase Ergoline means it is suited a number of specific applications, with the following providing a brief overview of the most common.
If you cannot see your intended use listed here however then please get in touch, for free, impartial advice on suitability.
Sales Rep Cases
Selecting a plastic sample case for your sales team can be important decision. The cases must be strong enough to protect the samples, large enough to showcase them well, whilst also carrying branding and projecting a professional appearance.
Ergoline cases are therefore a good option for use in this manner.
The only potential limitation of these case is their fairly narrow range of options in terms of colours, which can make matching some brand identities a little more difficult.
Retail Packaging
If you are intending to sell products in retail markets, then any advantage to be gained can be crucial.
This is why Ergoline cases are frequently used for “added value packaging”. What is meant by this is that your products are sold within a case – such as Ergoline – which can then be retained by the customer for storage of said item(s).
This can not only drive sales but can significantly increase the price consumers are willing to pay (and the perceived value they feel they are getting).
The branding options and transparent lids (great to see the contents before purchase) help this still further.
Field Staff
Many businesses will have staff and operatives that are required to take equipment out on site.
This can be anything from very expensive diagnostic or metrological equipment (which is likely to require a heavier duty plastic case or a specialist waterproof option) to regular tool sets and equipment.
Ergoline cases are perfect for the lower end of this spectrum, where precise levels of protection are not required.
They offer good usability, large choice of size options, and when enhanced with foam inserts can improve productivity through better organisation of tools / parts too.
Shipping
Ergoline cases are sometimes used for shipping semi fragile items. Typically used within a traditional outer corrugated box, Ergoline cases can be used with foam inserts to provide additional levels of protection for various items (think tools, specialist parts, components etc.) where damage caused by mishandling would cause significant problems.
Hobbies
Although GWP Protective are a B2B seller of cases, Ergoline cases are often used for hobbyist equipment such as models, collectibles, fishing tackle and bait, and many other similar pursuits.
