Custom Cases, Foam Inserts & Tool Pallets Crafted for Excellence
We design products that are crafted with industrial strength for optimum protection, and build each project to meet your needs.
BEHAVIOR-DRIVEN PRODUCT DESIGN
We think beyond technical requirements and keep real-world applications in mind at every stage of design.
Successful case design must account for human behavior, not simply technical specs. We call this “behavior-driven design,” which is the practice of understanding how people actually interact with equipment in real-world conditions.
Industrial Strength.

PELICAN CASES
Pelican cases are built to protect mission-critical equipment in the harshest environments on earth. Known for their legendary durability and precision engineering, we offer a range of case lines designed to balance strength, weight, and portability. From lightweight travel-ready designs to ultra-rugged industrial protection, every case is crafted to safeguard sensitive gear against impact, water, dust, and extreme conditions.
hard cases
Our hard cases are expertly engineered to deliver rugged, reliable protection for tools, equipment, and sensitive gear in real-world conditions. We manufacture our cases using advanced materials and design them in a range of styles, each tailored to specific durability, weight, and cost requirements.
Custom Foam Inserts
We design custom foam inserts for precise protection, organization, and performance inside every case. Using advanced fabrication methods like CNC routing, waterjet cutting, and die-cutting, our team matches the right foam type to your exact equipment and use case.
Thermoformed Tray Inserts
Our custom thermoformed tray inserts provide structured, durable organization for tools, hardware, and field kits. Made from rigid ABS, they hold their shape over time while providing defined compartments, a clean OEM look, and easy-to-maintain surfaces, which is ideal for real-world use where foam falls short.
Sewn Goods
We CNC cut our textiles for perfect consistency and then hand stitch every case for durability. To make sure your case arrives in perfect condition with lasting quality, we check each and every sewn case by hand before packaging. We are also your go-to source when Berry Compliance is required.
Tool Organizers
Built with durable, hand-sewn construction and job-tested materials, our tool pallets feature custom layouts that keep tools secure, visible, and easy to access in the field. Whether fully custom or interchangeable with standard case sizes, our pallet systems allow you to swap tool sets quickly, reducing weight, improving workflow, and ensuring the right tools are always within reach.
Customizations
Whether starting from a stock platform or building a fully custom solution, our team of engineers designs each component, inside and out, to match your equipment, environment, and workflow with precision.

A REAL WORLD EXAMPLE: CH Ellis enhances the usability of a military tool kit with injection-molded trays
When the U.S. Military’s traditional tool cases failed in combat, the issue wasn’t durability. It was usability.
CH Ellis designed the General Maintenance Tool Kit (GMTK) with injection-molded trays for quick access, rugged wheels for rough terrain, and secure latches for mission-ready protection.
