Whether you are a surveyor, a medical professional, or a broadcast engineer, your equipment is the livelihood of your business. It is often sensitive, calibrated, and incredibly expensive to replace. Transporting it in a cardboard box or a soft bag simply isn’t an option.
At PottertonPacs, we understand the value of your assets. As one of the UK’s longest-established case manufacturers, we specialise in designing and building equipment flight cases that offer total security. From our manufacturing facility in Leicester, we supply bespoke transit solutions that ensure your gear arrives in perfect working order, every single time.
Custom Designed for Your Specific Gear
Standard cases are fine for general storage, but for specialized equipment, you need a specialized fit. A loose fit means movement, and movement leads to damage.
We don’t believe in “one size fits all.” We design our cases around your specific equipment.
- Precision Fit: We measure your items down to the millimetre to ensure a snug, secure fit.
- Material Choice: Depending on the weight and fragility of your equipment, we can construct your case from heavy-duty birch plywood, rigidised aluminium, or lightweight Astroboard for easier lifting.
- Access features: We can design cases with “lift-off” lids, removable front panels, or integrated ramps, allowing you to operate your equipment without even removing it from the case.
The Importance of Foam Engineering
The outer shell of a flight case protects against impact, but the interior protects against vibration and G-force.
For sensitive equipment—such as camera lenses, drones, or electronic testing units—the interior design is critical. We use advanced CNC foam routing to create custom inserts using high-density foams like Plastazote. Unlike soft “pick and pluck” foam which degrades over time, our routed foam is durable, oil-resistant, and engineered to absorb shock. We cut precise pockets for your main unit, cables, batteries, and accessories, ensuring that you can see instantly if a component is missing before you leave a site.
Industries We Support
We build equipment flight cases for a diverse range of UK sectors:
- Audio Visual & Broadcast: Protecting cameras, mixing desks, and lighting rigs for touring crews.
- Medical & Scientific: Sterile, wipe-clean cases for portable diagnostic scanners and medical samples.
- Surveying & Engineering: Rugged protection for theodolites, laser scanners, and calibration tools used on construction sites.
- Sports & Motorsport: Organised storage for telemetry equipment and team radios.
Professional Branding and Finish
Your equipment case is often the first thing your client sees. It represents your company’s professionalism.
We offer a range of finishing options to align your cases with your corporate identity. We can apply coloured laminates to match your brand palette and offer professional screen printing services to place your company logo and contact details directly onto the case panels. This not only looks professional but acts as a theft deterrent and aids in identification at busy venues or airports.
