Plasti-Clad™ cases are made using an advanced
plastic and aluminum composite panel structure that yields high strength
and light weight. They incorporate standard ATA hardware, yet allow
for advanced features such as recessed latches and handles that do
not breach the inner case wall!
Plasti-Clad™ cases are light, durable and custom sized
for you application. Typical weights are 25% to 35% less than a comparable wooden shipping container,
similar to molded plastic cases. Unlike molded cases, they do
not get "gummy" in high heat environments. The composite panels hold up well
to forklift abuse and are easily cleaned for their next deployment. Plasti-Clad™
is available in 12 color options with no increase in lead time! They
are the best option for larger items, or for custom ramp, drawer,
and EIA rack options.
Plasti-Clad™ containers require a higher initial investment than traditional wood ATA cases. However, a significant real dollar return on investment is generated from lower shipping
costs and enhanced durability.
Typical payback periods are often less than 2 or 3 shipments! Contact Us today and we will help
you run the numbers.

better than comparable wood cases on standard penetration tests (
see below), yet
weigh significantly less. Unlike wood cases, they do not
swell, splinter, attract pests or cause import/export concerns.
