Foam
inserts are very important for flight cases. They are a vital piece of the
puzzle and ensure that the all equipment is protected as much as possible. Foam
inserts can be customised to the shape and size to fit any requirement.
They can be made in various ways and it could be important for you to know exactly how that happens. Below are the 4 most effective ways foam is made for your customised case.
Die Cut
Originally
die cutting was made for cutting leather within the shoe industry. The
advantages of this type of cutting are that objects normally fit extremely well
into it. This is due to the fact that it can cut through various layers of
material. From this you can get aesthetically appealing results. Besides this,
it’s very precise so most of the material that is cut is done to a near
perfection level.
CNC Routing
One
of the most modern pieces of technology that ensures that foam is designed
specifically to the cases needs is CNC Routing. This advanced technology makes
use of the well-known CAD software which is computer controlled and precise.
The
way this product does its task is by making the image three dimensional. Due
the fact the product is three dimensional, it means that it can figure each
location and be much more accurate. Since it’s accurate it will cut the pieces
exactly how they need to be and ensure that it’s the correct size for the
cases.
The
advantage for this type of software is that it produces consistent results as
it’s based on programmed software. It can also produce the inserts on a low
scale basis or a high one and you’ll still get exactly the same results.
Water Jet Cutting
Water
jet cutting might not be one of the cheapest options but it’s certainly one of
the best. This type of foam cutting occurs when you want the cut to be made on
any shape or dimension. Some advantages to this type of cutting are due to the
fact that it is known to be much more environmentally friendly compared to
other versions. Since it doesn’t produce any dust residue or hazardous waste or
fumes it can be run more efficiently. Also you would think that its water
jetted that it would use up a lot of water resources. This is actually not the
case as it uses technology such as the closed loop setup which is made to be as
efficient as possible and save water.
These
three methods are some of the most effective on the market and always garner
results. They work due to the fact they are the most accurate and most
reliable. This needs to be the case when making foam inserts as they need to
fit exactly to how the case is made. When looking for specific cases be sure to
check how the inserts are made and to what dimensions they can be scaled from.
Bespoke cases are meant to be
of the highest quality. Many are designed with customisation at the forefront
of the initial design specifications. However, to really get the most out of
bespoke cases you really need to know all your own requirements. When you know
your own requirements you can find a model that suits you and gets the job done
well.
What Are You Going To Use It For?
Firstly
as with anything that is bespoke, you really need to dig down and understand
exactly what you’re going to use it for. When you know exactly what you’re
going to use it for, you will know what qualities and materials you will need
to have. Just because a friend has recommended one isn’t going to be good
enough. You need to find out the exact places or environments you’ll be using
it.
For example, cases can be
designed in many various ways. This includes them being dustproof, waterproof,
shockproof and static proof. This is all besides the benefit of them being
really strong. As well as this you should think about any add-ons you might
need. This includes things such as fixtures and fitting and will give you scope
as to how bespoke you want it to be.
How Many Do You Need?
If
you’re thinking of purchasing a singular case then feel free to skip this
question. However, businesses that won’t only be purchasing presentation cases
should consider quantity. The quantity of something you buy can impact a lot on
your business. Make sure that if you are purchasing in bulk you make sure that
the company in question does bulk discounts. Bulk discounts will enable you to
save money in the long run and provide a sustainable business relationship.
How Customised Do You Need It To Be?
It’s
true that everyone is different and this can be especially true for people
purchasing presentation cases. To stand out or to make it unique there are many
different variables that you can consider changing. This includes colours,
sizes or whether you’re going to include foam inside. Make sure you find a
company that allows you to be as creative as possible and allows you to tailor
the case to your needs.
How Long Will You Have It And How Important Is It?
Finally
it’s also worth noting how important you think this case is going to be and
also how often you might use it. Bespoke cases when they are designed by a
reputable company aren’t going to be cheap. They are going to be tailored to
your needs and require even more quality material to ensure production. For
this you need to justify how often you’ll be using the bespoke case and when
you do use it, how important it will be.
Hopefully
these tips have enabled you to make your mind up about your own tailored case
and what factors you might also have to consider.
