Custom flight cases

If you need to safely transport large equipment, tools, components or products, custom flight cases provide on-the-road protection for your valuable equipment.

Flight cases are tough, rugged containers for storing and transporting items. Also known as road cases, they are manufactured using plywood or composite boards with aluminium and steel components. Custom flight cases are particularly popular in the audiovisual, broadcasting, and entertainment industries but are equally suited to commercial and industrial applications.

At Suttons Performance Packaging, we have been a successful flight case manufacturer for over 50 years. We design and manufacture your flight cases at our UK-based production facility. Designed using the latest CAD technology and manufactured using high-quality materials, our flight boxes ensure the safe transportation and storage of delicate items.

FAQs

Sourcing and using custom flight cases provides your business with many benefits. For example, bespoke sizes reduce transport costs and significantly improve protection by minimising the movement of contents within the outer case. Similarly, whether you need large or small flight cases, it is possible to engineer them to achieve the optimal strength, protection, and quality.

The inclusion of custom foam inserts further enhances the protection provided by custom flight cases. Using Plastazote, it is possible to design and manufacture foam tailored to your products with the optimal grade and amount of material.

There are several optional features for your bespoke flight cases, such as handles, castors, wheels, lift-off lids, and more, all of which can improve usability too. You can even have your flight cases branded with your company logo, and/or include handling instructions and other information.

Flight cases and road cases are effectively different terms for the same type of case. The name road case is popular in the broadcasting and event industries, where production crews would traditionally use them to transport equipment for live performances.
