If you have a lot of sensitive gear that needs to travel with you, you probably already know about the many benefits of custom cases. Maybe you even already have some cases, so you know their benefits, and you’re now looking into buying more for your business or for additional stuff, or perhaps you’re buying them for the first time. Either way, it pays to do your research and find the best case and the best material for your needs. If you’re purchasing custom cases in the near future it’s time to decide what they should be made of. For most people this decision comes down to plastic or aluminum. While aluminum has its own benefits, read on for the great benefits of custom plastic cases.
Plastic Is Highly Durable
Plastic is incredibly long lasting, making it a great choice for a very durable case. Plastic cases won’t warp in rain or heat. They are designed to be moisture resistant, to protect sensitive equipment in unpredictable weather. Finally, plastic is strong enough to stand up to physical damage too, resisting denting and gouging.
Plastic Offers Extensive Customization
Plastic custom cases can be made with a vast number of specialty features. You could choose injection molded plastic, so that the case fits every unique item that you have to store. Or you could choose tray inserts so that you can quickly access certain items (like business cards at a trade show or emergency supplies in a military situation). Whatever your needs are, plastic can offer options that meet them.
Plastic Requires Very Little Maintenance
Other case materials, like wood, sometimes require a lot of maintenance or upkeep to make sure they stay strong. Or they may be hard to clean and disinfect thoroughly. This is not the case for plastic. Plastic doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, and the cleaning process is quick and easy. When time matters, plastic is a great choice.
Plastic Is Very Lightweight
Finally, plastic is far lighter than most other materials used in custom cases. This is great, since the weight of the case won’t contribute too much to the overall weight of what you have to carry. After all, if the case is so heavy that everyone drops it, it may not be offering as much protection as you think.
