Electronics
Custom cases, crates and foam for electronic equipment.
We supply electronic equipment cases, custom foam inserts and wood crates for manufacturers and teams using cameras, sensors, controllers and test equipment. We design the packaging around your equipment, accessories and the way they will be shipped, stored and used in the field.
Free design & quoting. No obligation.

Packaging options
Choose packaging for the equipment and the trip.
Portable instruments, field kits and larger systems need different packaging. We supply cases and foam nationwide, and wood crates throughout the eastern United States.
Injection molded cases
For cameras, sensors, controllers and portable test equipment, we help choose a case and design the interior. Brands include Pelican, SKB, NANUK and Condition 1. Order the case alone or with custom foam.

Custom foam inserts
Fitted pockets hold devices and accessories in their assigned places. We design and cut inserts for new cases, crates and boxes, or packaging you already own. Foam-only orders are available.

Wood crates
For larger instruments, laser systems and bulky equipment, we build electronics shipping crates around the load. The base, supports and enclosure account for how the equipment will be loaded, transported and removed.

ATA cases
For equipment used repeatedly at customer sites or test facilities, we build cases in custom sizes. Shelves, trays, removable covers and wheels can make the contents easier to reach and the case easier to move.
Explore ATA casesSensitive electronics
Support the equipment and leave sensitive areas clear.
A close-fitting pocket needs to hold the device at suitable contact points. We plan support, clearance and access around the equipment and the people who will pack and unpack it.
Keep pressure off connectors and controls
We shape the foam around suitable support areas and leave clearance for connector pins, optics, displays and controls. Tell us which surfaces can take contact and which must remain clear.
Choose the foam and check anti-static requirements
We offer polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU) and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) in different densities and colors. All foam is cut using a CNC router or waterjet. The method is selected based on the foam type and pocket features. Anti-static foam options are available to meet any electrostatic discharge requirements.
Compare foam materialsMake equipment and accessories easy to remove
Finger openings provide room to lift items out. Separate pockets for cables, batteries and tools help keep the kit organized. We can add labels and plan the layout around the order in which items are used.
Larger equipment
Plan how larger systems will be packed and handled.
Large instruments and equipment assemblies may need shaped supports, bracing or a removable crate wall. The design starts with the loaded weight, support points and available lifting equipment.
Provide support and loading access
Blocking, cradles and restraints can hold the load without pressing on thin panels or protruding parts. Removable walls, ramps and forklift access can be included where useful. Tell us how the equipment will be loaded and unpacked at its destination.
Account for moisture during shipping and storage
Waterproof barrier bagging and desiccant, which absorbs moisture, can be included for sensitive shipments. We choose the approach for the journey and expected storage period. A wood crate alone is not a sealed moisture barrier.
Arrange crating at your facility
On-site crating can be useful when equipment is difficult to move. We review the location, working space, access and packing work before arranging a visit.

Design and ordering
Review the design before we build.
Design assistance and quotes are free, with no requirement to purchase. Our in-house team prepares the packaging layout and works through changes with you.
Provide the equipment details
Start with dimensions, drawings, 3D models or photos, plus the equipment and accessory list, weight, quantity and required date. Tell us how the equipment is used and whether it is still changing.
Review the layout and quote
We recommend the case, foam or crate design and provide views for your review. Check support areas, access, materials and what is included in the quote. We help determine whether a physical prototype is needed.
Approve the design for production
After any required prototype review and your approval, we build the packaging and arrange delivery. We retain the approved design and production files for repeat orders.
Frequently asked questions
Electronic equipment packaging questions
Practical details for design, repeat orders and delivery.
Yes. We can start from drawings or a CAD model and determine what checks are needed. In a controller case project, we used the customer's CAD file to 3D-print a model part in-house for a prototype fit check. The checks for your equipment depend on its shape and requirements.
