In the world of professional equipment, one size rarely fits all. Whether you are launching a new medical device, transporting delicate survey instruments, or taking a prototype on a global sales tour, off-the-shelf protection is often a compromise you cannot afford to make.
At PottertonPacs, we don’t believe in compromise. As one of the UK’s longest-established case manufacturers, we specialise in designing and building custom flight cases that are engineered to the exact specifications of your equipment. Manufactured right here in our Leicester facility, our bespoke solutions offer the ultimate balance of security, durability, and professional presentation.
Why Choose a Bespoke Solution?
Standard cases leave gaps. Gaps mean movement, and movement causes damage. A custom flight case eliminates this risk by building the protection around the asset.
However, a bespoke case is about more than just safety; it is a powerful marketing tool. Your case is often the first thing a client sees before you even reveal your product.
• Corporate Branding: We can screen print your company logo or product details directly onto the case panels.
• Colour Matching: Move away from standard black. We offer a wide range of coloured laminates to match your corporate identity.
• Professional Image: Arriving with a sleek, branded, purpose-built case speaks volumes about the quality of the equipment inside.
The Manufacturing Process: From Concept to Case
We make the complex process of custom manufacturing simple. Our in-house design team works with you to transform your requirements into a tangible, heavy-duty reality.
1. Consultation: We discuss the weight, fragility, and dimensions of your items, as well as how the case will be transported (e.g., air freight, van, or hand-carry).
2. Material Selection: We select the right build for the job. We utilise high-grade 9mm plywood with rugged laminates for heavy-duty touring, or lightweight Astroboard (a honeycomb polypropylene) for flight-ready cases where weight savings are critical.
3. CAD Design: Our engineers use advanced software to design the internal layout, ensuring every cable, screen, and component has a dedicated home.
4. UK Fabrication: Your case is built by skilled craftsmen in Leicester, ensuring strict quality control and rapid turnaround times that importers simply cannot match.
The Inside Matters: Custom Foam Engineering
A robust exterior is only half the battle. The true secret to our custom flight cases lies in the interior.
We don’t just line a box with foam; we engineer it. Using advanced CNC routing and water-jet cutting technology, we create high-density foam inserts that mirror the contours of your equipment. This provides superior shock absorption, protecting delicate electronics from drops and vibrations. Whether you need a simple lining or complex, multi-layered routed foam to house a 50-piece tool kit, we ensure that when the case is opened, everything is exactly where it should be.
