Plastic Cases
Plastic is one of the most durable materials used in carrying cases. Since the durability of the carrying case often depends on the material from which the case is made, plastic carrying cases are very popular and widely used. Plastic is a versatile material that ranges in strength, resistance, density and flexibility. Industrial designers use plastic to create strong, insulating, chemical-resistant carrying cases.
Blow molding and rotational molding are two kinds of molding processes used to create plastic cases. Blow molding is the procedure whereby a hollow, plastic container, tank or case is created from a smaller model shape under pressure. Plastic resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene are commonly used in the molding process. Rotational molding, or rotomolding, is the process of rotating a mold while the plastic resin is being shaped into its final form. Rotomolding is generally more cost-effective than blow molding.
Plastic cases can be found in a variety of sizes and colors. They can be used to present and protect products, including fragile optical, measuring and medical instruments.
