Tips for Purchasing Quality Shipping Cases

Friday, June 15th, 2012

The market is saturated with shipping case businesses, each serving a specific purpose. There are cases built for trade show and athletic gear, and even Medical Devices, like Advanced Packaging Inc. Even though many manufacturers offer custom cases to protect and support your equipment, make sure the custom case you want is built using the best modeling technology available.

Shipping cases vary based on what the consumer wants and the quality of the material used. Often times, composite or fiberglass materials are popular options for travel cases while other manufacturers build cases out of Plexiglas or acrylic.  Whatever the case, make sure whatever material you use can withstand rough environments and extreme temperatures.

When you purchase a quality shipping case consider having a good foam lining built inside. Strong foam linings provide a soft cushion for delicate equipment, especially medical and government equipment.

It’s highly recommended to inspect  the basic parts of your case. Make sure the latches, ball corners, handles and hinges will support your device.  If your case can resist impact and shock, than you are good to go. A high quality manufacturer will ensure that their casing is heavy duty.

With all of these tips in mind, you will be good to go when it comes to purchasing a high quality shipping case for your medical or government devices.

API also offers shipping solutions for larger medical devices, such as Mobile CAT Scan Units, X-Ray machines, Surgical Robots, etc. Our large medical shipping crates are designed to withstand even the harshest of environments, guaranteeing your expensive medical equipment reaches its final destination unharmed.

From spinal to orthopedic to dental surgery, even veterinarian, the options are unlimited.

Stock Shipping Cases vs. Custom Shipping Cases

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Stock cases vs. custom cases; which is better? Well, it is the difference between speed and peak performance.

It’s like buying a suit. Of course, you can walk into a store, grab a suit off the rack and be perfectly fine. The suit will still look nice, but it isn’t made specifically for your body. The sleeves may be a little too long or the jacket may be a little baggy. On the other hand, you can have a suit tailor-made to perfectly fit your body. Yes, you will pay a little more and you will not get your suit right away, but it is well worth the price and the wait.

The same goes for shipping cases.

Stock Shipping Containers
