Project Overview
Our client required a 100% custom sleeve to house a high-powered scope, along with a custom carrying case to protect the scope and the other components needed for tactical operations.
Specs:
Formed Foam EVA case with custom foam inserts, custom polyester sleeve with rubber logo and zippers.
Challenge
The main challenge for this project was manufacturing an extremely complex, but precisely fitted sleeve for the scope on a large scale with little to no defects. After that, we needed to tool a custom EVA case with compartments to hold the scope with it’s custom sleeve, along with all the available accessories.
Solution
By working closely with our client’s team, we were able to meet, and even exceed, the requirements for this delicate equipment. The sleeve that houses the scope is actually an EVA shell that is wrapped in a durable polyester. This sleeve has a total of 4 buttons, 3 separate zipper pulls, and a buckle that allow you to detach parts of the case individually. This allows the user to access different parts of the scope for cleaning and calibration purposes. The rubber logo on the front, as well as the custom logos on the zipper pulls, adds some truly unique aesthetic properties. The EVA case has a large central compartment for the scope and sleeve, and two extra compartments for the scope’s accessories. The back panel has a velcro shelf that is removeable and can store a spare shoulder strap, or whatever else the user may want to carry. The zipper pulls on the case are heavy duty, and can withstand the elements and large amounts of stress that often occur when used in the field. Rings were added to the sides of the case that allow users to attach a comfortable shoulder strap for long distance carrying.
Results
The case was a total success, and the client was amazed by the quality of the final products. By tooling a custom mold specifically for the project, we were able to mass produce this complex design with the same rigorous quality standards we demand for every case we manufacture.
