Does anybody have any recommendations for a company that makes custom shipping cases? I need to get a case made that is as small and light as possible, fit 3 projectors, and still protect them from like an arbitrary 5ft drop.

The last place I ordered from was www.casescases.com, and while the boxes are good, they are way too bulky.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

Pelican cases are very, very good for this kind of thing.

I can suggest Calzone.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't see where I could order a custom case, but I'll call them and see what we can come up with.

What size are the projectors?

You might be better off putting a projector in a case of its own. at least if there is and arbitrary 5ft drop, at least one will survive.

I got a quote coming from them too. I like the looks of the cases on the site.

The projectors are tiny. Like, 3" high, 7" wide, and 8" long, and weigh 3.5lbs. Having them in one box helps us get them through the airlines quicker, less chance of losing them, and easier to stack until we get to where we are going. In general, after we get to where we are going (country wise), we shed the box and carry them individually.
