Medical

Custom cases, crates and foam for medical equipment.

We design custom medical equipment cases, foam inserts and wood crates for manufacturers, demonstration teams and field users. Our custom medical device packaging holds equipment and accessories for shipping, storage and repeated use, from portable diagnostic devices to larger systems.

Equipment protection and access

Support sensitive parts and keep the kit organized.

The interior needs to hold equipment at suitable contact points while leaving room to remove and replace it. We plan the layout around the complete equipment list and the order in which items are used.

  • Leave sensitive areas clear

    We shape support around suitable surfaces and leave clearance for displays, controls, probes and connectors. The closed-case layout also needs space between equipment in the lid and base.

  • Plan access and component locations

    Finger openings, separate accessory pockets, labels and straps can help users find items and return them to the same place. Tell us which parts are used together and which need to be reached first.

  • Choose the foam for the equipment

    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. Share any material or cleaning requirements so we can review the proposed foam grade.

Larger medical equipment

Plan support, loading and unpacking.

Imaging systems and laboratory equipment may need more than a flat crate floor. The loaded weight, support points and available lifting equipment guide the design.

  • Support the load and provide access

    Blocking and restraints can hold the equipment at suitable support points. Removable walls, ramps and forklift access can be included where useful. Tell us how the equipment will enter the crate and be removed at its destination.

  • Account for shipping and storage conditions

    Waterproof barrier bagging and desiccant, which absorbs moisture, can be included for sensitive shipments. The approach depends on the journey and storage period; a wood crate alone is not a sealed moisture barrier.

  • Arrange crating at your facility

    On-site crating can help 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.

  1. Provide the equipment details

    Send dimensions, drawings, 3D models or photos, plus the equipment and accessory list, weight, quantity and required date. Tell us about the shipping method and any changes still expected to the equipment.

  2. Review the layout and quote

    We recommend the case, foam or crate design and provide views for your review. Check fit, access, materials and what is included in the quote. We help determine whether a physical prototype is needed.

  3. Approve the design for production

    After any required prototype review and your approval, we build the packaging and arrange delivery. We retain approved designs and production files for repeat orders.

Frequently asked questions

Medical equipment packaging questions

Practical details for design, repeat orders and delivery.

Yes. We can quote a foam-only or complete prototype for fit, access and packing checks. Physical prototypes are charged separately from the free design and quote. We confirm what will be made and its cost before building it.
