Custom Aluminum Cases

Our custom aluminum cases are designed for durable, lightweight, and stylish transport. Custom solutions can be engineered for every need — from a light-duty presentation case to a rugged metal shipping case intended for industrial and government applications. We have built our reputation on delivering innovative, well engineered solutions to our customers.

Fabricated Aluminum Cases offer a high-tech appearance at a competitive or lower price than molded plastic cases. An aluminum case offers a perfect, cost-effective solution when a plastic case just won’t do. Custom foam interiors can add the finishing touch, transforming your traditional aluminum cases into OEM Equipment and Instrument Cases. The possibilities are endless — Custom interiors can be designed to your exact requirements and exteriors offer silk screen-print branding opportunities for company logos or other corporate identification for maximum impact. In addition, options such as color choice, a range of hardware, and packaging options are available. Custom cases can be produced in quantities of 200+ cases with no tooling charges.

Our MIL-Aluminum series is fabricated from .063 and .080 5052 aluminum alloy and welded in the seams for strength. This fabrication method offers great sizing flexibility and unlimited opportunities for customization to meet almost any military specification. A high strength to weight ratio makes the MIL-Aluminum superior to plastic and wood for many applications. Additionally, the cases’ metal enclosures can be powder coated in OD Green, Desert Tan, or any other color you may require.

Zarges Cases also offer rugged, no-nonsense aluminum case solutions. Their product line varies from aluminum military containers to rugged, welded rack cases. They are highly engineered and can be customized to meet almost any military requirement in quantities as low as 25 pieces. If required, Zarges cases are also available with airtight and watertight construction and can be produced to any size.

Our sales engineers can guide you through the custom design process to build a custom aluminum case that exceeds your expectations and meets your every requirement. Contact us for a free consultation.

Case Study:Spinal Implant Sales Case

Spinal Implant Sales Case
The Challenge
A client’s sales team was tasked with presenting to the time-starved medical community an array of complex, fragile spinal implants designed for intricate, life-altering surgeries. The gym bags and cardboard boxes the sales force had previously been using consumed valuable time during visits with doctors; the packages were clumsy and unprofessional, and made quick inventory impossible. The client challenged Source to design a protective presentation case solution that would be as compelling as the product — and as efficient as the doctors needed the pitch to be.

The Response
We wanted to help our client build a professional and well-thought-out presentation mechanism—one in which the parts would be protected and easily accessible, and one that would also help make wise use of the limited time the sales consultants had with healthcare professionals. Custom soft-sided cases provide an attractive, versatile, and lightweight option for presentation, organization, and protection of valuable merchandise. They are perfect for sales demonstrations and can be fitted with a number of value-added options.

The Solution
We produced a padded canvas, cloth bound, soft-sided case with three-color embroidered branding, metal-reinforced carrying handles, and a removable shoulder strap with adjustable hardware and metal snap hooks. The inside lid boasted a clear vinyl pocket stitched to form two separate display sections with zipper closures. A removable cross-linked polyethylene foam tray was fitted into the bottom of the case, with 36 compartments of two different sizes for product organization. Taking into account the delicate nature of the company’s products, we designed the tray with a step so that products would be flush with the top level of the step to ensure protection from impact and also easily accessed during a demonstration.
