Long Flight Case: confirm internal dimensions first (equipment size plus foam allowance), then protection rating (IP67 is the benchmark) and shell material (PP for value, ABS for surface hardness, rotomolded PE for large sizes). Custom sizes available via tooling.
A photography case gives cameras, lenses and accessories shock- and moisture-protected transport, with inserts cut to the kit layout so bodies and glass do not press against each other.
Long Flight Case: Product & Manufacturer Overview
kexinMaterials splits the Long Flight Case range into two lines: IP67 injection-molded hard cases with custom EVA for camera and aerial gear, and plywood-and-aluminum flight cases with butterfly latches for touring lighting, audio and instruments.
Camera kit changes fast, so interior flexibility matters. kexinMaterials offers pick-and-pluck foam and hook-and-loop dividers — when your gear evolves, reconfigure the interior instead of replacing the case.

Standards & Industry Data
Foam Inserts (EVA / PU / XLPE)
Three insert materials dominate: EVA (closed-cell, waterproof, firm support for precision instruments), PU foam (open-cell, soft cushioning, economical) and XLPE (chemically inert, non-shedding — preferred for medical and optics). CNC pockets are cut from the equipment's 3D data; drawing-to-first-sample typically takes 1–2 weeks.
Shell Materials Compared (PP / ABS / PE)
Industry data puts PP (polypropylene) at ~55% of plastic protective-case share — strong chemical resistance, low-temperature toughness and cost efficiency; ABS holds ~30% with harder, glossier surfaces; large thick-wall cases favor rotomolded PE. Plastic/polymer cases together account for 63.7% of the industrial protective case market (2025).
IP Ratings (IEC 60529)
In IP67, the “6” means dust-tight (no dust ingress after a 2 kPa vacuum dust test) and the “7” means temporary immersion: the enclosure survives 30 minutes at 1 m depth with its highest point at least 150 mm below the surface, per IEC 60529 Clause 14.2.7.
Typical Applications
- Location shoots and gear carry
- Production moves and airline check-in
- Touring lighting and audio rigs
- Instrument transport and storage
- Rental house asset management
- Live-stream and switcher kits
Sizing & Selection Guide
To size a Long Flight Case, measure the largest 3D dimensions of the payload and allow 30–50 mm per side for foam, then match against internal case dimensions. Above 30 kg payloads, add wheels and reinforced bases.
kexinMaterials stocks a full size run from personal cases to large transit trunks with published internal dimensions; if nothing fits, we evaluate mold revisions or new tooling — selection advice is free.
Manufacturing Process
The hard-case line is injection molded with immersion spot checks; flight cases are panel-cut to measured equipment dimensions, riveted with corner and handle reinforcement, then pass full-load drop and caster endurance tests.
Field Case Studies
1,200 camera cases CNC-cut to body/lens shapes, zero optics damage in field transport.
800 kit cases with adjustable baffles and mesh pockets, faster on-site workflow.
