About Custom Pelican Cases

Custom Pelican Cases is the OEM production arm of a protective packaging operation that has been building mission equipment cases since 1985. We start with genuine Pelican shells and carry them the rest of the way: interior engineering, machined panels, hardware and electronics integration, branding, and volume assembly for organizations that ship equipment into the field.

Working from official Pelican CAD data and our own tooling, every build keeps the protection Pelican is known for and leaves our floor as a finished, documented system. Serialized parts, revision control, and repeatable layouts mean unit five hundred ships identical to unit one.

Programs here run from a single prototype to annual fleet builds. Tell us what you carry and we will engineer the inside of the case around it.

How We Work

From Your Gear to a Finished System

Every program follows the same path, whether it is one prototype or an annual fleet build.

Engineering First

We start from your gear, not from a catalog. Dimensions, weight, access, and how the kit gets handled all shape the interior before anything is cut.

Prototype and Approve

You review a first article before the run. Foam layouts, panel placement, and branding get signed off while changes are still cheap.

Production at Volume

CNC-cut foam, machined panels, and assembly run to documented build sheets, so quality does not drift between the first batch and the tenth.

Documented and Repeatable

Every program keeps its drawings, revisions, and part numbers on file. Reorders ship to the same spec years later, without redoing the engineering.

Case Studies

Programs We Have Built

The challenge: Pick-and-pluck foam was costing an environmental-monitoring provider hours per kit and inconsistent layouts across crews. CNC-cut inserts standardized all 600 kits, with documented layouts for reorders.

The challenge: A defense integrator fields rack systems worldwide and could not own fitment risk across four vendors. We deliver panels, power, foam, and assembly as one documented build, year over year.

The challenge: A surgical device OEM needed instrument sets that survive hundreds of shipping cycles and audit cleanly. Tool-control trays with serialized plates keep every instrument seated and accounted for.

The challenge: Before every tournament, the USGA tests players' clubs and equipment for conformance, and their calibration gear traveled in unpadded cases between events. We built organized, foam-controlled kits their field teams can inventory at a glance.
