Types of Single-Lid Transit Cases: Protective Packaging & Custom Cases

Friday, December 14th, 2012

single lid transit caseIn an ever-evolving marketplace with continually developing products, protective packaging used to store and ship goods must make shifts in order to accommodate the changes and innovations products undergo. Countless industries make use of a myriad of cases in order to safeguard sensitive equipment, from government agencies to medical suppliers to military branches. Single lid transit cases are reusable and rugged – ideal for shipping and protecting industrial, commercial, military equipment, and more. This might include computers, tools, electronics, and the like. Below, see our quick rundown on the various types of single lid transit cases, designed to help facilitate the decision of which is appropriate for your particular equipment.

Rotational Molded Single Lid Transit Cases

Made of durable polyurethane plastic, these cases are shock and water resistant, and offer customizable lock and safety accessories. Roto-molded transit cases provide the notable benefit of being incredibly lightweight yet incomparably strong.

Injection Molded Single Lid Transit Cases

Frequently used by the military because of their extreme protective offerings, single lid injection molded transit cases are airtight, watertight, dent resistant, shatter resistant, lockable, and long-lasting. Known for their ability to handle low temperatures and provide impact resistance, injection molded cases provide robust protection.

Welded Aluminum Single Lid Transit Cases

Efficiently made at affordable prices, welded aluminum single lid transit cases are a classic standard in protective shipping and storage gear – they are manufactured to withstand extreme conditions and environments and last for years to come, while still being completely recyclable when they’re ready to be retired.

At API our experienced engineers will customize your protective case solution based on its unique characteristics and requirements. Regardless of size, quantity or style, API offers custom single lid protective case solutions faster and more affordable than anyone else.

Medical Shipping Containers: Protecting Devices

Friday, November 23rd, 2012

Shipping sensitive medical equipment – x-ray machines, computed tomography scanners, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices, analytical devices, medical dispensing machines, and the like – requires proper packaging and customized medical equipment cases to ensure thorough protection during transit.

No matter how medical equipment is transported from place to place – via ships, planes, or automobiles – it is going to be jostled, exposed to vibrations, and be at risk for rolling, and other possible means of damage. Equipment making its way overseas has to be safeguarded against elements in order to prevent corrosion, oxidation, and the infiltration of contaminates like dirt and dust. All of these hazards can negatively impact instrumentation, requiring expensive repairs that put equipment out of service for long periods of time.

Medical shipping containers provide a solution for comprehensive protection of medical equipment during transportation from manufacturers and suppliers to hospitals and clinics.

At Advanced Packaging, we offer a range of medical equipment cases that provide exceptional protection and convenient portability for all types of delicate medical devices and tools. Our certified packaging engineers design and manufacture precision foam inserts guaranteed to securely hold and protect the medical tools of your choice. We carry solutions for a wide range of medical devices, from spinal to orthopedic to dental surgery, even veterinarian – the options are unlimited!

CNC Form Presses and Custom Electronic Cases

Friday, October 5th, 2012

At Advanced Packaging, when fabricating our custom electronic cases, we use only the latest technology: CNC punch and form presses. This ensures that our containers are constructed with high quality precision sheet metal enclosures, component parts, and interface panels.

CNC simply stands for Computer Numerical Control, and describes computer programs that control the machine’s operational cycles. This type of press is utilized to punch out pre-registered forms from lightweight but strong stock material. The machine functions by placing the material to be punched under the press die – a customized cutting tool – on the machine, which then moves up and down to cut out the pre-programmed shape.

CNC punches are usually turret-type machines that have a table with brushes and rollers that help the sheet metal move through easily with a minimal amount of friction. They generally have three assemblies – the powered press turret, the work bed or table, and a control panel.

The automated operation of CNC punch presses is incredibly precise and has the capacity to cut out intricate shapes. They are efficient, too: punch cycles are measured in mere milliseconds. Using this type of cutting-edge technology is just one of the ways our engineers at Advanced Packaging are able to manufacture custom cases in less time than most other firms – and we do it all in-house, too, eliminating the headaches that middle men cause.

If you have any questions about our Custom Electronic Shipping Cases or CNC Punch Presses, please contact Advanced Packaging Inc. by calling 888-206-5250 or visit our website today!

Sustainable Shipping Cases from API

Friday, September 14th, 2012

It’s trendy to be eco-chic, carefully considering the environment in day-to-day actions and acting with a conscious towards the Earth. API’s aluminum shipping cases fit well with that current, reducing environmental impact by using a highly recyclable material.

Aluminum – used widely in many different applications today, from soda cans to window frames, brief cases, and airplanes – is easy to use, fabricate, and manipulate. It is lightweight, resistant to stress, holds up well under wear and tear, and defies rust. Inexpensive to make, aluminum can also be easily reused and transformed into different objects following recycling. Once it is melted, it turns into a new piece, ready to be molded into something different from its role in the previous form. Aluminum also doesn’t make use of petroleum in production, a nonrenewable resource.

API’s aluminum cases are a cost-effective option for protective containers and cases. Whether for military, medical, or industrial purposes – or something else entirely for that matter – aluminum cases are an environmentally friendly solution to packaging needs. They can be manufactured to meet any size, weight, or carrying capacity and can be finished in a variety of colors and textures to meet your aesthetic specifications.

A History of Durability, Part II: Injection Molding and Packaging Solutions

Tuesday, August 14th, 2012

Two weeks ago on API’s blog, we provided a rundown on the development and uses of rotational molding in A History of Durability: Rotational Molding and Packaging Solutions.  Here at Advanced Packaging, Inc. however, we aren’t limited with the type of custom fabricated carrying cases we provide: in addition to roto-molded cases, we also offer a line of injection molded transit cases.

Heavy duty, rugged, and waterproof, API’s injection molded cases are reliable compact solutions for all kinds of sensitive equipment.  Proven to deliver impact resistance even in low temperatures, injection molded cases are airtight, watertight, dent resistant, shatter resistant, lockable, and guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Injection molding is a manufacturing process that produces parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials.  The procedure involves feeding material into a heated barrel where it is mixed and then forced into a mold cavity to cool and take the shape of the cavity.  A mold is then made from metal, which is precision-machined in order to create the characteristics of the desired part – in API’s case, custom cases.

Though the process of molding plastics has been around since the mid-1800s, the plastic injection molding industry rapidly expanded with the onset of WWII, which increased the demand for inexpensive, mass-produced products necessary for the war effort.  Today, injection molding is used for anything from making bottle caps to automotive dashboards and of course, packaging.
