Here are some important questions to ask a prospective custom case manufacturer.
Choosing the right custom case manufacturer is critical to ensuring that the final product is well made, durable, and manufactured according to your specifications. While we are biased and know that you’ll find all of your needs met and exceeded at PSI Cases, here are our three top tips for choosing the right custom case manufacturer for your job.
What Molding Processes Do They Use?
Rotational molding and injection molding are the most common processes used by custom case manufacturers. Depending on the molding process they use, you might not be able to have all of your case needs met. If you want a watertight case or a certain color, certain molding processes might not be able to meet your custom case requirements. Ask the custom case manufacturer in advance what your molding options will be.
Where Are They Located?
The location of your custom case manufacturer does make a difference, especially if you choose to purchase items internationally. While the prices of international custom case manufacturers might be lower up front, you will be stuck paying sky high shipping fees, waiting longer for your custom cases to arrive, and potentially forking over more money upon delivery for customs fees. Choosing a custom case manufacturer in the United States is a great way to ensure that delivery will be affordable and prompt.
How Long Will The Process Take?
Custom case manufacturers all have different turn-around time estimates. Ask in advance how long they think the process will take. If you need a custom case for a trade show two months away, can they complete the entire project on that timeline? It’s also important for you to be realistic and realize that custom case manufacturing isn’t an instant process, so don’t expect it to be ready in a day.
