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.

If you have any questions about our Injection Molded Cases, please contact Advanced Packaging Inc. by calling 888-206-5250 or visit our website today!

Founded over 40 years ago, Advanced Packaging Inc. provides quality stock and custom container solutions for military, government, and commercial equipment manufacturers.

A History of Durability: Rotational Molding and Packaging Solutions

Thursday, August 2nd, 2012

Rotational molding allows hollow shapes to be created in Advanced Packaging’s custom cases while still maintaining a constant wall thickness for superior durability. This method creates stress free parts when polymer powder is tumbled around inside the mold.

The process of rotational molding has been around since the turn of the century, but was first put into use on plastics in the late 1940s and early 1950s, helping to manufacture anything from toys to road cones. The then slowness of the procedure, however, limited the amount of plastics it could be used on. Today, thanks to advancements in process controls and improvements in plastic powders, rotational molding has transformed into a far more accessible and efficient method.

Here at Advanced Packaging, Inc., we offer a variety of custom rotational molded, or in short, roto-molded cases for the transport and storage of any of our clients’ equipment and goods. These heavy-duty cases are made from polyurethane plastic, are easily accessorized, provide excellent durability, and of course, are shock and water resistant. Roto-molded cases are ideal for both commercial and military applications.

Whatever your needs may be, Advanced Packaging, Inc. can meet them: roto-molded cases are designed and manufactured to safely hold goods from as small as a camera to as large as a jet engine. Roto-molded cases come in a variety of colors, are pad-lockable and feature corrosion resistant hardware.

Custom Aluminum Cases :: Stock Aluminum Cases

Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

Aluminum is the most abundant metal found in the earth’s crust. So it is no wonder that this plentiful metal is used in everything from baseball bats and the foil covering your leftovers to street lamps and, of course, custom cases.

Protective aluminum cases are light, but still strong, durable, and reliable. Aluminum cases are very strong and resistant to impacts. Impacts may show on the exterior but the energy from the impact is absorbed within the distortion and not transferred to the contents. With other cases, when an impact occurs the case will often flex or deform transferring the energy directly to the contents. The case exterior returns to its original shape leaving the contents damaged unbeknownst to all until the case with the damaged contents is in the field.

Advanced Packaging Incorporated (API) can even custom make aluminum cases to incorporate any needs you may have that a stock aluminum case just cannot satisfy. Our advanced metal forming technology allows ultra fast and affordable manufacturing of fully welded aluminum cases.

Aluminum cases are perfect for storage, travel, and shipping your delicate or expensive items. From precious family heirlooms and ultra high-end retail to critical military field applications, a fully-welded aluminum case is built to perform under extreme conditions. Not just once, but over and over. A fully-welded aluminum protective case from API is reusable, reparable, highly customizable and at the end of service completely recyclable.

Welded aluminum protective cases can be manufactured to any size and/or weight carry capacity. Aluminum is an excellent choice for large, complex industrial or military containers.
