Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Flight Cases UK

Below are answers to common questions about our custom flight cases, bespoke designs, foam inserts and UK manufacturing services.

What is a flight case?

A flight case is a heavy-duty protective case designed to safely transport and store professional equipment. Flight cases are commonly used in audio, visual, broadcast, engineering and touring industries to protect valuable equipment from impact, vibration and damage.

Do you manufacture custom flight cases in the UK?

Yes. All of our custom flight cases are manufactured in the UK, allowing us to maintain strict quality control and offer fast turnaround times.

How do I measure my equipment for a custom flight case?

Measure the equipment itself (not an old case) including any protruding parts such as handles, connectors or feet. Provide width, depth and height in millimetres for accuracy. You can visit our “How We Measure Cases” guide for details 

What materials are used in your flight cases?

We use professional-grade materials including:

• Hexagrip laminated plywood

• Lightweight Astraboard panels

• Aluminium extrusions

• Heavy-duty recessed handles and catches

These materials ensure durability and long-term performance.
