Anti-Static Foam- this is an open cell polyurethane foam that has antistatic, chemical additives in them. This type of foam is constructed in densities between 1.2 and 2.0 lbs.
ATA Rated- these are cases that meet the highest standards for airline transportation containers. If traveling by plane with a custom carrying case, consider cases with ATA ratings.
Cushioning Curve- this is defined as a graphical representation of dynamic cushioning properties for packaging media.
Fragility Index- how fragile an item is can be measured numerically by its fragility index. It provides basic parameters for engineers to choose cushioning materials. In essence, the index determines the amount of G force an item can withstand without damage.
Outside Dimensions- what is the external dimension needed for your case?
Static Loading- our team carefully distributes materials in the case that are laid over the surface. This is expressed in psi (pounds per square inch).
TSA Lock- the TSA only accepts specific padlocks. If you are traveling through customs, consider adding these locks.
