The need to carry equipment stretches across a wide range of different areas and specializations. First responders need to have medical gear and equipment, military and law enforcement personnel need to have holsters and belts and just about every type of tradesperson needs to have some type of custom equipment cases to carry tools, equipment and supplies.
There is a big market in just developing these handy cases that offer functionality, practicality as well as long-lasting durability. However, designing these cases isn’t just about what looks great, it is also about size, weight, maneuverability and a host of other factors.
Working with a top company with extensive experience in designing and manufacturing custom equipment cases is a big plus. This allows you to take advantage of their experience with similar products to help you to make the choices that give you just the product you want without any of the common problems and mistakes so common with prototype products.
Fabric and Material Choice
With an equipment case, the choice of fabrics and materials is important not just for aesthetics but also for durability, protection of the equipment, and actual environment where it will be used.
For example, for medical equipment that will be used in a wide range of different environments, it is very likely the case will need to be water-resistant and also resistant to chemicals spills and exposure. For sensitive types of testing devices, the case may need to be padded and more rigid in design, creating more of a cushioning effect for equipment protection.
The fabric and the other construction materials will impact the cost of the final product as well. By working with a manufacturer with the ability to match options with your production budget, you have the best of all possible options.
Size and Hardware
Thinking about the size of custom equipment cases from a practical use standpoint is also a big factor in the design and development. Hardware and fasteners on the bag or case will also have to be selected to provide easy and quick access or higher levels of security.
It will also be important to match the hardware such as zippers, fasteners and straps to the overall design of the case. Simple additions such as outside pockets or specialized pouches inside or outside of the case can be the difference between something this is adequate and something that is what everyone wants and needs.
By working with a company that has experience in creating custom cases for specific industries, you may find those little extras that make your case more than just basic. This will not only help your business, but it will help with branding, marketing and moving forward as in innovator in your industry.
