How Custom Flight Cases Protect Your Gear in Transit

Our high quality cases will protect your equipment, no matter how many bumps there are along the way.

At Best Flight cases, we’re committed to building cases that shield against damage and give you far greater peace of mind.

Why Ready-Made Cases Just Doesn’t Cut It

Off-the-shelf cases might seem like a cost-effective solution, but they rarely offer that perfect fit. They can often lead to your kit shifting, rattling or, worse, getting crushed. This can lead to scratches, broken components or even a totally ruined piece of equipment. This is particularly terrible if it was needed at a job site or on a music tour.

Custom flight cases are different. They're built around your gear, down to the last millimetre. Whether you're transporting a delicate (and expensive!) camera, an important tool, or a precious violin, a custom case ensures it’s held securely and padded exactly where needed.

Built for Battle: The Anatomy of Protection

A high quality custom case isn’t just a box. It’s a finely tuned shield engineered to take a hit, so your equipment doesn’t have to.

Here’s what makes Best Flight Cases stand out:

Precision Foam Inserts. These are CNC-cut to hug your gear snugly, absorbing any shocks or vibrations.

Rugged Exteriors. We use tough, hard-wearing materials designed to withstand drops, knocks and tougher treatment.

Lid Stays and Locks. Keep everything securely shut in transit, whether across town or across continents.

Stackable Design. Ideal for touring or multi-unit setups; keeps your gear safe and tidy on the move.

Each case is custom-built to protect your specific items to the finest standards.

Trusted Across Industries

For over 15 years, we’ve worked with clients across every major sector, from music, military, media to medicine. They come to Best Flight Cases because they simply can't afford failure.

Here are just a few examples of how our solutions are used:

Musicians and touring acts who rely on us for custom flight cases to protect guitars, keyboards, and soundboards while on the road.

Film and broadcast crews transporting cameras, drones, and lighting rigs across international shoots.

Medical suppliers needing reliable, sterilised cases for delicate instruments and diagnostic equipment.

Aerospace and defence contractors moving mission-critical tools, prototypes, and assemblies.

Each industry has its own requirements, regulations, and risks, and our design process takes all of that into account.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Innovation

Thanks to our many years of experience, our team is able to produce all kinds of bespoke solutions.

In 2021, we moved into a larger production facility to meet increasing demand for custom flight cases. Alongside this move we have made major investments in both our design and production technology. As a result, we have reduced production time significantly allowing us to offer shorter lead times and more competitive pricing on our custom flight cases, without compromising on quality.

Every case is still hand-finished by skilled experts. The result is a case that ticks all the right boxes and fits your equipment like a glove.

Designed to Last, Built for the Real World

A well-made flight case isn't one you use once or twice. It's a long-term investment that pays off for years. It means your gear can survive a rough ride or heavy-handed baggage handler again and again. Our custom flight cases are:

Reusable and repairable, reducing waste and replacement costs

Stackable and modular, saving space during storage or transit

Customisable for future upgrades or new kit

Professional looking, so they can reinforce your brand and presentation

In the long run, investing in a bespoke flight case means you don’t have to worry about the cost of a replacement any time soon. Nor do you have to worry about whether your gear will arrive intact.

The Bottom Line: It’s About Peace of Mind

When you're travelling with expensive, sensitive, or one-of-a-kind equipment, you need to know it’s protected. Custom flight cases give you that confidence.

You're not just buying a tailored box, you're investing in:

Fewer losses or damage to your possessions

Less concerns about your equipment

Equipment which is well-presented and stored

Total control over how your gear moves from A to B

And with Best Fligh Cases, you get a partner who listens to your needs, understands your industry, and builds to exceed your expectations. We work with clients in a wide range of market sectors, including those involved in live touring.
