Flight Case

Construction | Hardware | External | Internal

Packhorse produce the 'blank' case panels using CAD/CAM technology, by using CAD drawings and high spec CNC cutting machines to exacting tolerances. These customers drawings are also stored to allow copies of the original case to be manufactured any time the customer requires.

We have a large selection of panel finishes to choose from, the most popular being laminated to birch plywood. From an environmental angle, wood can be the best of materials when harvested from sustainability managed forests with certification by the Forest Stewardship Council, it's near perfect: durable, recyclable and requiring minimal energy to produce and made largely of greenhouse gas extracted from the air.

We offer birch plywood in 6mm, 9mm and 12mm thickness which can be laminated with a choice of materials including

• Fibreglass heavy or light grain resin bonded for more durability
• ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
• Diamond board (Vameldeck, Vamelstrong or Vamelglass)
• Aluminium stucco
• HPL (High pressure laminate)
• PVC (Poly vinyl chloride)
• Carpet, paint or a wood stain

For lighter cases we offer an incredibly strong (as used in aircraft flooring etc) aluminium honeycomb (10 and 13mm thickness) faced both sides with a semi opaque double layer of cross weave glass fibre impregnated with a heat activated resin. This panel can be used 'as is' or with an additional laminate and colour finishes as per the plywood.
