In the world of high value equipment transport, there is no room for error. Whether you are moving sensitive medical devices, military grade communications gear, or broadcasting equipment, the case you choose is the only thing standing between your assets and disaster.
For businesses and procurement managers, sourcing the right protective packaging is about more than just buying a box; it is about securing a supply chain partner who understands durability, logistics, and customisation.
At PottertonPacs, we are the UK’s leading experts in protective presentation and transport cases. As a trusted distributor for the world’s most resilient brands, we specialise in supplying bulk Peli cases and other heavy duty solutions to the B2B market. From the legendary Peli Protector range to the innovative Nanuk series, we provide the volume, the pricing, and the bespoke interior customisation your business demands.
The Standard of Protection: Peli and Pelican in the UK
When industry professionals think of “indestructible,” they think of Peli. However, for our B2B clients operating internationally, the branding can sometimes cause confusion.
The brand known globally as Pelican is marketed as Peli in the UK and Europe. They are the exact same product, built to the exact same rigorous standards, simply branded differently for trademark reasons.
As a premier distributor, PottertonPacs offers the complete catalogue of [Peli UK] products. These cases are legendary for a reason. They are crushproof, dustproof, and watertight. Crafted from an open cell core with a solid wall design, they are incredibly strong yet surprisingly lightweight.
For clients looking to source [Pelican UK] equivalent cases for international consistency, our Peli range is the answer. Whether you need ten cases for a touring production team or three hundred cases for a military deployment, buying in bulk through PottertonPacs ensures you receive genuine, lifetime guaranteed protection at competitive trade rates.
The Evolution of Weight: Peli Air Cases
One of the biggest challenges for our B2B clients particularly those in the media, photography, and field service sectors is weight. With airline baggage restrictions tightening and freight costs rising, shaving kilograms off your shipment without sacrificing protection is a financial necessity.
This is where the [Peli Air Cases UK] range revolutionises the market.
Peli Air cases are designed to be up to 40% lighter than standard Peli cases. They are molded from the next generation of Peli’s lightweight HPX²™ resin, a proprietary formula that rebounds without breaking. For a business ordering in bulk, the weight savings across a pallet of cases can be substantial, significantly reducing your logistics overheads.
The Peli Air range is available in a variety of long and deep sizes, making them perfect for tripods, lighting rigs, and long barrel equipment.
Refined Strength: Peli Storm Cases
While the classic Peli Protector case is the icon, the [Peli Storm Cases UK] range offers a refined alternative that many of our corporate clients prefer. Originally a separate entity known as Hardigg Storm, the brand was acquired by Peli, bringing two giants of the industry together.
The defining feature of the [Pelican Storm Case] (or Peli Storm in the UK) is the unique Press & Pull™ latch. Unlike the classic “knuckle buster” latches found on older cases, the Storm latch locks automatically but opens with a light touch. For teams opening and closing cases dozens of times a day, this ergonomic difference is a significant advantage.
Our selection of [Storm Cases] maintains the legendary DNA of the parent company. They utilise a distinct HPX® high performance resin, which creates a case that is impact resistant even at extremely low temperatures. If your business operates in cold weather environments or requires a smoother aesthetic for client facing equipment, the Peli Storm range is the ideal choice for your bulk order.
The Challenger: NANUK Cases UK
At PottertonPacs, we believe in offering our clients the best possible choice. That is why, alongside the Peli giants, we are proud stockists of [Nanuk Cases UK].
Manufactured in Canada, NANUK Cases have rapidly gained a reputation as the “modern” alternative in the heavy duty market. They are visually striking, often available in a wider range of vibrant colours than competitors, which is excellent for corporate branding or colour coding equipment by department.
Nanuk cases feature the patented PowerClaw latching system. This system uses compressive force to clamp the case tight, while the integrated slide lock prevents the case from opening during transport, even if dropped. For B2B buyers looking for a case that combines extreme ruggedness with a sleek, modern design language, Nanuk is a formidable contender.
Travel Solutions: The Pelican Suitcase
For our corporate travel clients, the “carry on” is a vital tool. Whether it is for a sales team carrying samples or engineers carrying diagnostic tools, standard luggage simply does not survive the rigours of frequent business travel.
Often searched for as a [Pelican Suitcase], the carry on sized options within the Peli and Peli Air ranges are designed specifically to fit overhead lockers while offering tank like protection. They feature robust retractable handles and quiet rolling wheels that can handle concrete, gravel, and airport terminals with ease. By outfitting your team with Peli travel cases, you eliminate the cost of replacing damaged luggage and broken equipment.
Why Buy Bulk from PottertonPacs?
You can buy a single case from anywhere. But when your business requires ten, fifty, or five hundred units, you need a partner, not just a retailer. Here is why PottertonPacs is the preferred partner for UK industry:
1. The PottertonPacs Custom Foam Service

We can apply your company logo, safety warnings, or contents lists directly onto the lid of [Peli UK] or [NANUK Cases]. This not only promotes your brand but also deters theft and aids in identifying equipment in busy environments.
