Behind the Scenes with Packhorse: Custom Flight Cases for Take That’s Latest Tour
At Packhorse, we take immense pride in ensuring that the show always goes on, no matter the venue or the scale of the event. Recently, we had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with the iconic British pop band, Take That, to design and manufacture custom flight cases for their latest tour. With a project of this magnitude, we knew it was crucial to deliver robust, reliable, and perfectly tailored cases to protect their essential gear and equipment.
Crafting the Perfect Solution for Every Need
Each piece of equipment for a tour as big as Take That’s requires specialised protection. Our team worked closely with the band’s crew to understand their unique needs and crafted cases that are not only functional but also reflect the style and sophistication synonymous with Take That. Here’s a glimpse into some of the custom cases we created:
Bar Stool Case: No detail is too small when it comes to providing the best for our clients. For the intimate acoustic sets, we designed a specialised bar stool case. This case ensures that these key pieces of stage furniture are transported safely and are always in pristine condition, ready for every performance.
Dressing Room Piano Case: A dressing room piano adds a touch of luxury and provides the band with a space for warm-ups and private performances. Our custom dressing room piano case offers maximum protection with a sturdy interior and exterior, ensuring the instrument remains perfectly tuned and damage-free throughout the tour.
Drum Vault: The heartbeat of any live performance, the drums, requires impeccable protection. We crafted a custom drum vault, meticulously designed to secure each drum piece and hardware. This vault not only prevents any movement or damage during transit but also allows for quick and easy setup, essential for a smooth-running show.
Beyond these, we also developed cases for a variety of other equipment. Each case is built with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality, ensuring that Take That’s equipment is always safe and ready for the stage.
The Packhorse Difference
At Packhorse, we understand that every tour is unique, and so are the requirements of our clients. Our design and manufacturing process is driven by innovation and craftsmanship. We use the highest quality materials to ensure durability, security, and ease of transport. Our cases are not just protective; they are functional tools that help streamline the logistics of touring.
Working on Take That’s tour has been a rewarding experience, allowing us to showcase our capabilities and contribute to the success of one of the most beloved bands in the world. We look forward to continuing to support artists and performers with custom solutions that keep the show going, no matter where the road takes them.
