01 / The project

Built to travel.
Made to be seen.

More and more products, particularly in the luxury markets, are sold or presented to customers across the globe. That created a need for a heavy-duty protective shipping case.

We make each one by hand in our Penrith workshop, sized to what it carries.

02 / The process

From the brief
to the finished piece.

Designed and made in our Penrith workshop, with specialist partners where the piece needs them.

Research and materials

After researching the materials available, our team worked with our metalwork suppliers on the structural sections, corners and locking mechanisms. Each part has the strength and security to protect high-value items that may travel across the world to discerning clients.

Protecting the contents

Lining materials protect what is inside. Locks can be fitted if required, including TSA-approved locks for easier customs inspection.
