Whenever there is a need to transport, carry or have equipment stored safely away, custom equipment cases offer a top solution. While there are standard types of equipment cases on the market, they may not offer the storage and safety features a business requires.
If you are considering custom equipment cases for your devices, instruments, and components, there are a few decisions that should be made before placing an order. By looking at all the options and features available, it is possible to get just the right cases for any application or industry.
What Works
A very good place to start is with what works with the existing cases you are using. For example, a Thermoform case with a hard shell may be a perfect option for delicate or sensitive medical or scientific equipment or computers or electronic devices. On the other hand, a soft sided sewn case may be an excellent choice when many different items of various sizes and shapes may need to be carried in the case.
Look carefully at the cases that you are using, or brainstorm what would work for the type of case. After you have a good understanding of the exterior of the case, you can start to work on what needs to be included as additional features.
Pockets, Compartments and Carrying Options
Different industries or applications may require just the shell with exterior pockets or compartments, while others may need to have custom equipment cases with specialized areas within the bag as well.
If you are using specialized compartments, know the size of the compartment as well as the specialized needs to protect the equipment or devices that will be in the area. Know if the pockets or compartments need to close with zippers, buttons, hooks or other specialized fasteners or if they should be open for quick and easy access.
