Custom plywood flight cases
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

One build, defined around the job.

Structure

Plywood, aluminum profiles and hardware are sourced to the approved specification, then cut, fitted and assembled at our Cangzhou production site.

Handling

Recessed handles, butterfly latches, hinged or lift-off lids, rubber feet and caster configurations.

Interior

Foam lining, CNC inserts, partitions, rack rails, shelves, trays or accessory compartments.

Identification

Printed marks, engraved plates, labels and project-specific panel colors can be quoted when required.

MATERIAL & HARDWARE GUIDE

Common options, selected by load and use.

This is a practical selection guide rather than a fixed catalog. Final availability, dimensions, color, load rating and component model are stated in the quotation or approved bill of materials.

Panel constructionPhenolic-laminated plywood: commonly quoted in approximately 6, 9 or 12 mm. Thicker panels are normally considered for larger cases, heavier loads or repeated handling.
Lightweight optionPP honeycomb or other composite panel: considered when reducing empty-case weight matters. Edge construction, hardware fixing and order quantity must be reviewed with the design.
Panel colorsBlack is the standard starting point. Blue, red, gray, white and other laminate colors may be sourced subject to supplier stock and minimum material quantity.
Profiles & cornersAluminum edge and tongue-and-groove profiles with compatible steel ball corners, braces and fasteners, sized to match the selected panel.
Latches & handlesRecessed butterfly latches, surface or recessed spring handles, hinges, lid stays and lockable options can be configured by access and security need.
MobilityRubber feet, corner wheels or swivel casters; braked and unbraked combinations are selected after case weight, center of gravity and floor conditions are known.
InteriorEVA, PE/XPE and PU foam, carpet lining, partitions, trays, rack rails and accessory compartments can be combined around the equipment.
BrandingScreen printing, labels, engraved plates and other identification methods can be quoted from buyer-supplied artwork.

If the project requires a named load, water-resistance, flame, ESD or transport standard, include it at RFQ stage so the material grade, test method and acceptance criteria can be quoted correctly.

PROJECT TIMING GUIDE

Planned from approval, not from first message.

Custom case timing depends on drawing complexity, component availability, prototype approval, quantity and testing. The ranges below are useful for early planning; the committed schedule is the one written in our quotation.

01Review

Usually 1–3 working days to clarify equipment data and prepare a quotation direction.

02Drawing

Usually 2–5 working days after the requirement is complete, including buyer comments.

03Paid prototype

Often 7–15 working days after drawing and material approval, when a physical sample is requested.

04Production

A common planning range is 15–30 working days after final approval; quantity and materials can change this.

05Shipment

Export packing and dispatch are arranged after inspection. Transit time is quoted separately by route and Incoterm.

Planning ranges are not guaranteed lead times. Urgent projects should include the required arrival date, destination and transport method in the first inquiry.

SPECIFICATION

Panel, hardware and interior.

Panels

Plywood or laminated board, cut to the approved dimensions. Thickness follows the load and handling rather than a single house standard.

Edge protection

Aluminium profile and ball corners at the load points, with the profile matched to panel thickness.

Hardware

Handles, latches, hinges, casters and braced caster boards specified per build. All sourced to the approved specification.

Interiors

EVA, PE, XPE or PU foam, routed rather than cut, with laminated or flocked facing where the equipment surface requires it.

Mobility

Caster choice depends on total loaded weight and the floor surface the case will actually move across.

Access

Lid, hinged front, removable front or drawer configurations, chosen around how the equipment is used at the destination.

CONFIGURATIONS

Case types we build to order.

Lid-only case

The baseline configuration. Equipment is lifted out from above and the case usually travels upright.

Hinged front case

Front access for rack-mounted or shelf-loaded equipment, with the front panel matching the case opening.

Removable front case

Where the equipment is slid out rather than lifted, or where a full-height opening is needed in the field.

Drawer configuration

Used where accessories travel separately from the main unit and are accessed independently.

Trunk and truck cases

Long or bulky items where the case is moved on casters and loaded by equipment rather than by hand.

RELATED

Other routes to the same result.

If you already own the case

Order the insert only. Send the internal dimensions and we route to them.

If freight volume is the problem

Consider a flat-pack kit, which ships panels, profiles, hardware and machined foam as one set.

If fit is uncertain

A paid prototype built to the production drawing is the cheapest way to find out.
