4 Main Methods For Producing Foam Inserts
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

Four Main Methods For Producing Foam Inserts
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.

5 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Bespoke Cases
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?

Ways To Get The Most Out Of Bespoke Cases
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.
