What custom case features might you need? We at PSI have the answers.
If you’ve decided that you have a product or a possession unique and precious enough to retrofit a custom case to carry it, or if your business requires such transportation of expensive equipment, you’d better make sure you’re customizing that case to fit the product. Whether you’re carrying instruments, technology, military equipment, or medical devices, you’ll need to factor in the method of shipping and the kinds of tribulations your case will have to endure on its journey before you customize it. Although you may know your product well, there are a fair few unasked questions left about how to protect what you know needs protecting.
Know How It’s Getting Where It’s Going
When you’re shipping yourself somewhere, you don’t necessarily consider what you’ll need to protect yourself on the way. Flying on a plane is simple, as is driving in a car over rocky terrain. When you’re carrying protected cargo, it’s another story. Flying in a plane means your case could be subjected to weather-related turbulence, vibrations, contact damage from other luggage, and many other factors, much the same as riding over rough road could. You’ll need to make sure you’ve protected it by making it able to absorb shock and resist vibration. If you’re planning to travel under the sea or in the area, pressure regulation is an obvious concern. Think of the foam load! A simple formula to calculate this would be to divide the weight of the equipment in pounds by the side surface area in square inches, giving you the foam load.
Selecting the Right Material
Now that you’ve thought about how it’s going to travel, you’ve got to decide which material will best protect it. Impenetrable polymer plastic can help a lot with pressure regulation, as can airtight shells. When you’re worried about radio frequency disturbance, should your contents be vulnerable to electrical signals, make sure you use aluminum as the primary material for your custom case. You obviously want to make sure your case is spill, stain, dent, and crush proof.
