Custom soft carry cases

If you want your company’s products and samples to stand out in your sales pitches and meetings, Shell Cases can help.

Shell Case is a range of soft carry cases. With seven standard sizes plus a huge range of custom and semi-bespoke options, Shell Case is noticeably different from hard plastic carry cases. The material and semi-rigid EVA foam core make Shell cases visually appealing and tactile to use.

GWP Protective is an official UK distributor of Shell Case. You can source the full range from us and customise your soft shell cases in numerous ways. Options include custom foam inserts, various branding options, and bespoke features for higher volumes. Our case experts can provide further advice and guidance as required.

What are Shell cases made from?

Shell cases are manufactured from a polyester textile laminate to the exterior, with a closed cell semi-rigid EVA foam material within. The interior of the cases features a soft brushed nylon material. This combination allows for a very low weight and unique aesthetic appearance that is surprisingly durable and hardwearing, too.

Can I add custom foam to my Shell case?

While it is possible to select standard “cubed foam” inserts when selecting shell cases, you can also opt for entirely bespoke engineered foam inserts. This form of foam case insert not only offers increased protection but can also create some very impactful visual effects (and can even be branded with laser etching).

Are soft carry cases waterproof?

While shell cases are not fully waterproof, the material benefits from a water-repellent coating. As a result, Shell carry cases typically 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 perfect for transporting sensitive equipment.

Can I order a single Shell Case?

GWP Protective is a B2B case seller. We typically help companies with larger requirements and/or customisation options. However, we are able to cater to 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 or style – are custom versions available?

Besides the stock-sized Hybrid 300 range of Shell cases, you can also source completely bespoke options. From sizes to materials, 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, standard Shell Cases offer a wide range of branding options. 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.

What other sample and carry case options are available?

Whilst there are very few similar options 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. These include everything from moulded plastic to custom-built N Case and Smart Case options.

RoseCase ProTec case alternatives

You can source a huge range of RoseCase ProTec alternatives from us, including options from Rose Plastic, Maxado, Hofbauer, WAG, and more.
