Overview
Plastic carry cases are light, economical containers made from impact-resistant polypropylene or similar technical plastics — cheaper than aluminium, far lighter than a wooden crate.
Moisture and chemical resistance
A plastic body doesn't absorb water, corrode or react to most chemicals. That's an advantage in humid conditions, outdoors, and anywhere the case has to be cleaned — the body wipes down.
The interior
As with aluminium cases, protection comes largely from the interior. Die-cut EVA/XPE cavities hold the equipment. Alternatively, pick-and-pluck foam lets the user form their own cavities.
Sealed versions
Models with a gasket around the lid keep out dust and water, and are preferred for equipment working in field conditions. Versions with a pressure-equalising valve make the lid easier to open after altitude or temperature change.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Plastic case or aluminium case?
- Plastic if budget and light weight lead; aluminium for maximum durability, presentation and heavy equipment. In humid or chemical environments the plastic body has the advantage.
- What is pick-and-pluck foam?
- A foam block pre-cut into small squares that pull out individually, letting the user form cavities to their own equipment — a flexible option that needs no die-cutting.
- Is a waterproof version available?
- Models with a gasket around the lid keep out dust and water, and are recommended for equipment used in the field.
