Waterproof cases

  • Unicase Waterproof cases are one of the most widely used types of protective cases. They provide a completely water-tight seal, protecting their contents from moisture and dust entering the case. These unicase hard cases are ideal for protecting any tools or equipment that could be damaged if they get wet. Besides protection from water and dust, these are the toughest and most durable cases. They protect from knocks, impact, mishandling, and even being crushed. Besides this, nearly all waterproof cases feature a manufacturer’s warranty. 

Unicase Larger waterproof cases usually have wheels and telescopic handles, whilst all cases feature secure latches and ways to padlock the case (securing the contents). Their high performance means they are widely used in the defence sector to protect “mission-critical” equipment. They are, however, widely used by service technicians, engineers, film and broadcasting professionals, or anyone that needs to protect fragile, sensitive or expensive equipment. 

Non-Water proof Plastic carry cases

It is not uncommon to have some equipment that doesn’t need a high level of protection. Or that will never be exposed to adverse conditions or mishandling. Lightweight plastic cases can be an excellent choice for applications such as this.

Similar to unicase waterproof cases in appearance, hard plastic carry cases are a cost-effective option where the performance of a waterproof case is not required. As such, service engineers, field technicians and similar professionals may use this type of case for storing and organizing tools and equipment.

This type of case is also widely used by salespeople to present samples in sales pitches and presentations. Some businesses even use them to add value to their products (e.g. a set of items are supplied in a case that the customer retains). 

Foam inserts for cases

It is important to note that you can enhance all of the protective cases detailed here by adding foam inserts. You can choose to source many of the waterproof cases with what is known as cubed or “pick and pluck” foam, where the case user can create their own semi-custom insert by removing cubes of foam to create pockets for their equipment. Custom foam inserts allow for recesses that are exactly the shape and size of your equipment. Another advantage of unicase custom foam inserts for protective cases user to quickly identify if any parts or tools are missing from the case.
