Hofbauer Minibag

Plastic case for sales meetings

If you need a plastic case for sales meetings, for your reps to display and present product samples, the Hofbauer Minibag is a great choice.

Hofbauer Minibag is a range of injection-moulded plastic cases. Their compact design maximises internal space while providing a clean and modern appearance. Sales reps commonly use Hofbauer Minibag to present samples during sales pitches and range meetings.

At GWP Protective, we can supply your business with the full range of Hofbauer cases, including Minibag, an extensive range of sample cases, and heavier-duty carry cases. Any case you source from us can also include custom foam inserts and exterior branding for a professional, memorable appearance.

Hofbauer Minibag case features

Despite their smaller sizing and lightweight, Hofbauer Minibag cases still boast a surprising array of features.

Snap shut catches

The snap-shut catches of the Minibag cases are particularly easy and satisfying to use, and they also keep the case contents secure even if dropped or mishandled.

Stacking points

The cases’ surfaces provide small decorative elements, which also allow users to safely stack multiple cases on top of one another for improved storage/transit.

Moulded-in handle

Utilising a moulded-in handle adds longevity to the case while keeping costs down. The handle is also comfortable to use, even with heavier contents.

Branding area

Minibag cases provide a much larger branding area than many other plastic cases, allowing for direct screen or digital printing of logos and branding.

Sturdy feet

The feet on Minibag cases allow them to stand vertically. This helps users move the cases more efficiently and can be helpful in sales meetings too.

Durable hinge

Smaller Minibags have a durable “living hinge”. However, the largest option—Minibag 4—features an interlocking hinge that allows for an optional divider panel.

Compact design

Although the Minibag name derives from the compact design of these cases, the design manages to maximise the internal space available.

Hofbauer Minibag sizes

The Hofbauer Minibag case range comprises four sizes, with the smallest being 222 x 145 x 40 mm and the largest being 338 x 229 x 79 mm (internal dimensions). Minibag cases are available in four colours: blue, red, black, and grey.

What colours are Minibag cases available in?

Minibag cases are available as standard in black, blue and light grey (with red now being discontinued). However, it is possible to specify custom colours when sourcing Hofbauer cases, although please note this is subject to minimum order quantities (MOQs).

How can I add branding to Minibag cases?

The smooth exterior surfaces of Minibag cases lend themselves well to branding. This can be done through printing—both screen and digital processes work well—or by simply adding printed or cut vinyl graphics. It is also possible to brand any internal foam inserts through laser etching.

Should I include foam inserts in my sample cases?

Including foam inserts in your sample cases is a great way to improve their performance. From a usability point of view, they help keep items organised and in position while protecting them from shock, impact, and mishandling during transit and storage. They can also create a unique and attractive visual appearance.

What are Minibag cases manufactured from?

Minibag cases are manufactured from Polypropylene. This not only means they are cost-effective but also lightweight and surprisingly durable.

Are Minibag cases suitable for heavy-duty applications?

Hofbauer Minibag are more lightweight plastic cases, making them perfect for samples or as a general carry cases. For heavy-duty applications requiring protection from water, dust, and more robust handling, the waterproof options from Nanuk, Peli™, and SKB would be a more suitable choice.

Can I purchase a single Minibag case?

It is possible to purchase a one-off Minibag case from GWP Protective (which we can modify with foam inserts). However, the unit cost is considerably more than buying in larger volumes.
