Design Considerations
Below is a listing of simple considerations often overlooked by customers when ordering a case.

  • Standard doors are 32” wide and 80” high.  Will your case fit through?
  • Maximum width in a common carrier truck is 90”.  Will your case be suitable for truck pack?
  • Will the case, when completed, fit in your intended vehicle for transport?
  • If the case is to travel by air, will it meet your airlines checked baggage allowance or carry on baggage allowance?
  • If case is to be ramp loaded will the ramp be wide enough to roll the case up?
  • If you are shipping electronics, do they require EMI/RFI shielding?
  • Will your case be handled by people other than yourself?  Some employees work in environments where there are restrictions on the amount of weight they can lift.
  • Does your case require security features such as padlocking or keylocking catches?
  • Does your case require casters for mobility?

Answering some of these questions for yourself ahead of time can help you avoid receiving a great looking case that is not functional for your requirements.

    "By the way, I've shipped our old iMacs all over the country in your boxes. They've been left on convention center docks in the cold and rain in places like Detroit, Chicago and New York during the winter.  They've sat in warehouses in Vegas and Phoenix during the summer.  In addition to the many miles they travel each year, they've been dropped, knocked over, and abused by every freight company in the nation, but I've never had a single iMac damaged during transit.  So I figured that I needed to get new QT Boxes for the new iMacs because there's no way I'm shipping them in anything else."
    -  B.W., Dallas, TX
