Custom Flight Cases

We manufacture bespoke flight cases and road trunks at our Norfolk and Leighton Buzzard factories - any quantity, any size, with a choice of catches and finishes. Our standard cases are made from traditional ply with either a stucco or coloured laminate finish, or from lighter weight black, red, green or blue Astraboard. We also produce cases with a hexagon pattern board or diamond pattern board finish if required. Should you have a special requirement for an alternative material flight case, or a different finish such as carpet, we can make these for you too.

Requirements for flight cases vary widely. Are you using the product occasionally, in which case, are storage and stacking facilities necessary? Or do you travel the world regularly and need airport retractable handles and small semi-enclosed wheels rather than castors? Where will the case be used and are there any environmental or climatic considerations that need to be allowed for?

We service all industries including medical product manufacturers, hospitals, water and utility companies, environmental sectors, the electronics market, the MoD, industrial firms, and, of course, the lighting, music and broadcast industries.

Imaged Flight Cases - Your Designs, Text & Logo Printed Full Colour

With current demand for individuality, publicity and ever demanding USP’s, Polyformes can manufacture and print flight cases bespoke to your own designs. Whether you want images, logos, instructions or plain text, we can print on all case faces in gloss or matt finish - anything you like, any colour, and in very large scale should you require large flight cases. Strength and quality is not compromised in any way and the printed surfaces are tough and long lasting.

Flight Cases Parts - Materials, Finishes & Hardware

Our flight case finishes are usually a traditional birch ply with a hard wearing facing e.g. stucco, diamond board, high pressure coloured or patterned laminates, or made of astraboard. Astraboard is a 7mm polypropylene sandwich construction, available in black, red, blue, or grey. It can weigh up to 40% less than the equivalent thickness laminated plywood and is strong yet lightweight.

Flight case hardware is the term used to cover latches, handles, corners, braces, hinges and stays etc., but for each of these parts, there are a wide number of choices of style should you be looking for something specific or if the style of case and content demands it. So, for example, a simple latch can be a recessed type, a surface catch, an overlatch, a briefcase latch and in more than one size too. We tend to standardize flight cases and hardware where possible for sound economic reasons but if needs be, we are more than happy to supply your preference. And of course, as foam converters, we offer a full flight case foam service - interior Plastazote or Ethafoam fittings to fully support and protect your equipment.
