Our company
About Vol Case
Custom industrial packaging from Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Vol Case helps companies package equipment for shipping, storage and repeated use. We work on everything from portable instruments and technical kits to large machinery.
We supply cases and foam nationwide, and wood crates throughout the eastern United States.
Our history
Building custom packaging since 1991.
Vol Case began with one employee and one customer. The business grew by serving companies in the Oak Ridge and Knoxville area, adding people, equipment and packaging options as customer needs changed.
Our experience now ranges from small protective cases to crating equipment weighing over 70,000 lbs. Over the years, we have expanded and improved our design work, automation and production processes to support a wide range of equipment.
Our goal is to provide high quality industrial packaging to protect some of America's most valuable assets. Along the way, we strive to provide best in class customer service and communication.
In-house work
Design and fabrication in one place.
At our Oak Ridge facility, we develop packaging designs, cut custom foam with CNC routers and waterjets, and build wood crates and ATA cases.
We also supply injection molded cases from Pelican, SKB, NANUK and Condition 1. All injection molded cases can include custom foam interiors to provide additional protection and organization.
Keeping the design work in house means questions and changes go directly to the people developing the packaging. We can work from your drawings, models, dimensions or photos.

What customers say about working with us.
Working with us
From the first design to later orders.
Our design work and quotes are free, with no requirement to purchase. We review the proposed packaging with you before production so you can check the layout, support and access. When a physical prototype would help, we quote it separately.
If the equipment changes, we review what needs updating. We retain approved designs and production files so future orders can follow the same layout.
A project example
For a military-drone customer, we revised the case and foam layouts as the equipment developed, then continued supplying the packaging in regular production.

Support beyond the finished case or crate.
If equipment is difficult to move, we can review on-site crating at your facility. The location, access and work required help determine the arrangements.
We can also hold completed packaging and plan delivery around your receiving dates. Quantities, storage periods and delivery schedules are confirmed for each order through our storage and scheduled delivery service.
Packaging projects
A closer look at our work.
Medical equipment
One case for a complete medical kit.
We brought 28 medical-kit components together in one Pelican 1780 case, replacing a three-case arrangement. Custom foam in the base and lid gives equipment, cables and spare parts their own places, keeping the complete kit together.

Automotive manufacturing
Crating a production line for overseas shipment.
For an auto manufacturer shipping equipment to Asia, we packed 120 pieces into 58 custom wood crates. Barrier bagging with desiccant addressed the ocean journey, while numbered equipment and crates made the contents easier to identify.

LiDAR rental equipment
A LiDAR case for repeated rental shipments.
A startup needed to ship portable LiDAR equipment to rental customers across the United States. We fitted a Pelican 1690 with a shaped foam cradle and accessory pockets, using lid straps to hold a larger accessory.

Nuclear-defense components
Case interiors and crate lining for sensitive components.
We made custom foam interiors for two SKB case designs, with clearance for bagged components and protruding fittings. We also supplied foam lining for the customer's shipping crates, keeping the existing case and crate packing arrangement.
