How we use Computer Aided Design to Create Custom Cases
This last question is particularly important because often we strive to fit as much equipment as possible into our cases. But still we want to maintain a solution that is organized and managable. Thus, computer aided design, or CAD, allows us to find ways to make the foam interior hold equipment, products, and materials in the most efficient manner possible.
Our designers model the design on the computer, using acurate measurements. Then the drawings are given to our manufacturing process where our engineers turn the drawing into reality. Large machines like our waterjet cutter also use CAD and are able to make very small and very acurate cuts.
As a result of CAD we offer incredibly percise products that work wonders for our clients.

At South-Pak, your trusted provider of custom cases, we manufacture cases and foam products on site. That means our team of designs take the case from concept all the way to finished products. Let's go over the process:
- Consultation
The very first step in the process is a conversation with our clients. We identify their requirements, "does the case need to be waterproof?", "does the case need to support an especially heavy loads?", "does equipment need to be operational and wired from inside the case?". We do our best to understand everyone's needs and priorities. - Material Selection
Based on the requirements, we make a decision about a case exterior and a case interior. Because we stock and service such a wide array of cases from our own brand to Pelican, SKB, Zero, Parket, and others, we able to make a perfect fit for any requirements. If a currently existing product does not fulfill all the needs, that's okay because we have the manufacturing abilities to create a custom case from scratch. - Price Quote
Before we proceed, we communicate a price quote and adjust if needed. As always, we work hard to have a conversation with our customers. We take pride in establishing a very personal relationship between our team and potential clients. We value long-lasting relationships. - Prototype Production
With the price quote in mind, we don't jump the gun. We usually produce a prototype within 48 hours. After that working prototype is delivered, we collect valuable feedback and adjust if needed. Getting a prototype is important because, especially with very large order volumes, we want to get it perfect and eliminate expenses resulted from our mistakes or poor communication. - Prototype Approval
We double check to make sure the prototype matches the requests made during the consultation and meets every specifications. - Full Production
Our expert designers and engineers get work with our state-of-the-art tools such as our Water-jet cutter and superb materials such as our bi-core case exterior material. We work efficiently to fill the order quickly and efficiently. - Quality Assurance and Documentation

How To Pitch Your Product or Invention
So you've come up with a grand idea. A gizmo or a product. It's all created and it works and the friends you show it to love it. Now you're ready to go big and pitch your product or invention to investors or potential buys. Here's how you do that:
- Look up the largest road shows where the audience you are after attends. This may be a trade-show or a conference. Anywhere where you can set up a booth and talk to as many people within your target demographic. A google search with your audience and industry in the keywords should yield good results. There are also great trade-show resources online such as calendars.
- Clear your schedule and start preparing. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. Practice makes perfect but more importantly it will allow you to appear more confident in your creation.
- Attain a professional display for your presentation. This is where we at South-Pak come in. Presentation is key and we help you travel in a way that allows you to protect your equipment and creation but still allows you to present your product beautifully. We will make you a case with your logo on the case exterior and a neat foam or fabric interior to house your product. Your set up is important because it needs to be able to stand the test of time.
- Just do your best and be very persistent. Don't give up, keep traveling. You will likely get many "no"s but don't let it get to you.
Good luck!
And if you have any questions about trade show presentations and product displays, give us a call.

How to fit lots of equipment into a small case when traveling and shipping
Hint: it's all about the case interior.
At South-Pak, we specialize in making lot's of equipment fit in cases maximizing a case's holding capacity. We work to reduce the volume of protective foam but increase its effectiveness.
For example, we made the above case for Siemens for medical equipment. It is a traveling toolkit case with solid partitions, foam blocks, waterjet cut foam, and removable trays. Parts of the case are used out of the case and the parts of the cases double in purpose as seperators and protectors. In this way, we were able to solve the difficult problem of fitting all the equipment into a relatively tiny case and a small amount of space.

Showcase: Custom Trade Show Shipping Case (with photo)
The above picture shows a custom trade-show shipping case for an international jewelry manaufacturing company. We used a tough SKB rolling trunk with custom lift out boxes for storing and organizing jewelry before, after, and during the trade show. This way the case not only helped with travel but also allowed for an easy set-up procedure for the actual trade show.

Gun Stolen from Case by Baggage Handlers
The Prime Minister of Israel, Mr. Netanyahu, traveled to Washington D.C. recently but weapons brought legally into the country by his body gaurds never made it to Washington.
A bag belonging to officers from Israeli security service Shin Bet - containing four Glock 9-millimeter pistols - was placed on a wrong flight by American Airlines at New York JFK Tuesday, and at least one handgun is still missing, according to several media reports.
Apparently, the case was eventually found but its contents went missing. Media reports don't specify whether the case was locked but if the case was not locked, it is possible to lock hard cases, even cases that you check-in for your flight. You can learn more about TSA Approved locks at our website.
This is just one story about why it's so important to invest in the proper cases to detur theft, protect equipment, and travel with confidence. Whether you need cases for guns, for LCD Screens, or for equipment, please chat with us because South-Pak is your destination.
