There are many, many reasons for the superiority of custom cases, whether for individuals or manufacturers. We recommend this as the ultimate way to protect your products.
Getting and keeping the best custom cases with foam
Packaging and packing is best left to professional packing and shipping companies, you might think. Of course it is. But better yet, begin with a professional case manufacturer such as the most trusted case manufacturer in the United States, Ameripack Corporation.
Ameripack is one of few case manufacturers who can provide solid industry experience in providing superb custom design cases ideal for your product.
How to use foam inserts
Pluck foam is the most used and for good reason. It is easy to form and easy to manufacture. Ameripack Corporation, the leading manufacturer of custom cases, recommends that you replace your pluck foam inserts at least once a year or every twenty trips.
Brief look at the Manufacture of Foam Inserts (Pros and cons)
Pluck foam inserts are made of polyurethane (the "spongy" stuff). The other "stuff" used in custom foam inserts or foam inserts in general is polyethylene (aka "the harder stuff"). This lasts longer and is easy to work with – perhaps easier than pluck foam inserts.
Polyethylene is manufactured in sheets. This makes it very appealing to manufacturers, who value its ease of cutting. Polyurethane foam, on the other hand, is cooked in industrial processes that create large mounds that must be cut. This process is more expensive, of course.
Within polyethylene, there are three different types. Polyurethane Foam has an elastic cell structure that facilitates easy flexing. Poly-Ester is flexible open cell polyurethane that can be made with anti-static qualities. Poly-Ether is a low-cost, resilient open cell polyurethane.
What to look for in a custom case:
Can they deliver fast? For example, Ameripack produces custom cases within two weeks, in almost all cases (pun not intended. But it still works).
A national company. Can your case company offer representation and service across the nation?
