If your business would like to differentiate your latest products, impress clients in important sales pitches, help your field engineers transport important kit or equipment, or even to boost retail sales, then Shell Case is the ideal choice.

About Shell Case
Shell case has quickly developed a reputation for supplying unique, high quality and often tailor-made cases to a range of industries, particularly medical and electronics manufacturers.
A truly global business, Shell Case are headquartered in Hong Kong but have distribution centres in both US and Netherlands (ensuing excellent availability throughout Europe and the United States).
However, it is the extensive R&D department based in Israel that sets the business apart, allowing for a wide range of stock and completely bespoke soft-shell cases to be developed.
Standard, semi bespoke, or completely custom carry cases
There are 2 main options when considering a Shell case for your business – the Hybrid Series of standard cases or, for specialist applications, a completely bespoke EVA carry case developed to your exact requirements.
The Hybrid Series (formerly known as the Standard 300 range) are a stylish, lightweight alternative to typical plastic carrying cases, many of which can be heavy and cumbersome. Despite this, Shell cases can still provide an excellent level of protection for tools and equipment, making them equally suitable for test equipment and medical devices as they are for sample presentation during sales meetings / pitches.
If, however, a standard Shell case isn’t exactly right for your requirements – or you need something with real wow factor – a custom case can be developed from scratch to exceed your expectations. This can include custom sizes / dimensions, extensive branding options and even have equipment and electronics fully integrated into the case.
Whatever case you choose, GWP can offer advice and guidance on the best option for your business, as well as a range of semi bespoke options (such as custom foam inserts for any case in the range).

What are Shell cases made from?
Shell cases are manufactured from a polyester textile laminate to the exterior of the case, with a closed cell semi rigid EVA foam material within. The interior of the cases are then finished with a soft brushed nylon material. This combination not only allows for a very light weight and unique aesthetic appearance, but also is surprisingly durable and hardwearing too.
Can I add custom foam to my Shell case?
Whilst it is possible to select standard “cubed foam” inserts when selecting shell cases, you can also completely bespoke engineered foam inserts from GWP Protective. This form of foam case insert not only offers increased protection but can also create some very impactful visual effects as well (and can even be branded with laser etching).
Are soft carry cases waterproof?
Whilst Shell cases are not fully waterproof (as per some of the other plastic sample cases available), the material is treated with a water repellent coating. This means that the carry cases tend to provide enough protection from moisture for everyday use. If a much higher level of protection is required, GWP can offer a wide range of fully waterproof cases that are perfect for transporting sensitive equipment.
Can I order a single Shell Case?
GWP Protective are a B2B seller of cases. This means that we typically help companies with larger requirements and / or customisation options. Saying that, we are able to cater for low volumes and even one-off requirements – if in doubt please contact us and we will be happy to advise on the best way to proceed.
I can’t see a suitable size / style – are custom versions available?
Besides the stock sized Hybrid 300 range of Shell cases, you can also source completely bespoke options. Everything from sizes to material, colours to branding options, you can specify a case that is 100% perfect from both a visual and usability standpoint.
How can I add my branding to a standard case?
It is not always cost effective or practical to specify a completely custom case. As such, the standard Shell Cases offer a wide range of branding options themselves. This includes customising logo plates, zip pulls and even the colours of materials used (although minimum order volumes apply to this latter option). Any interior foam can also be branded too.
What other sample / carry case options are available?
Whilst there are very few similar cases to Shell case on the market (many see them as a Fluke case alternative), GWP Protective can supply a wide range of alternative sample and carry cases. This includes everything from moulded plastic (such as Hofbauer or Rose Plastic options) or even custom-built N Case and Smart Case options.
