Does a custom carrying case need foam inserts? No, they aren’t necessary; however, they are highly recommended. Not using custom foam inserts is a great way to save money and reduce production time slightly. These benefits are overshadowed by the problems associated with foam or without customizing it. With that said, why are foam inserts in a blow molded case so important?
Foam is the most dependable and beneficial of all the materials to use inside a case to protect gear. It is the safest way to store and transport equipment while maintaining the perfect condition of the stuff inside the case. Many of the things we carry daily, whether in our pockets, bags, or purses, don’t need extensive protection: we can throw items into a bag without worrying about breaking or damaging the gear. Delicate and fragile items need to be transported and stored with care because even minor drops could have terrible consequences.
It would help if you used a custom carrying case with foam for the below items
Personal and business computing: the outside shell of a laptop or PC might be made of rigid plastic, and if it gets dropped, you might not see any damage. The inside of those machines is delicate, and if a hard drive gets hit the wrong way, it could potentially corrupt all the data stored on it. What would it mean to your business if you lost all the data on some of your machines?
Cameras and camera lenses: cameras are built tough but not tough enough to withstand being banged. Camera lenses are expensive, and even the tiniest of damage could mean buying a new lens.
