Choosing expedition-case manufacturing process for the first time is harder than it looks. We have seen buyers overspend 2x by over-specifying size, and underspend by skipping certifications. This page is the decision framework.
We do not round dimensions. We do not approximate. Every line in this table is the real catalog data for expedition-case manufacturing process, measured on the production line, with QC sign-off and lot certificate. This is the data we ship with every order.
| Model | Outer (mm) | Inner (mm) | Weight (g) | Material | Size Class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WL1204 | 120×90×40 mm | 115×78×32 mm | 100 g | PP | Phone / Wallet |
| WL2005 | 195×170×46 mm | 190×135×40 mm | 175 g | PP | Action Camera / GoPro |
| WL5020 | 500×400×200 mm | 480×360×185 mm | 2400 g | PP | Kayak / Fishing Gear |
The most common model for "expedition-case manufacturing process" buyers is the WL1204 (120×90×40 mm OD, 100 g empty weight, PP body).
Four components define expedition-case manufacturing process protection: shell (PP or PP+GF), foam (25 kg/m³ closed-cell PE), seal (silicone gasket around the lid), and pressure valve (automatic Gore-Tex membrane for IP67/IP68). Each component is tested. Each can be replaced if worn.
The shell is rated IP68 (submersible 5m / 30 min) ingress protection and validated to MIL-STD-810H Method 516.8 (26 drops at 2.0m). Temperature range is -30 ~ +80 °C. The automatic pressure-equalization valve keeps the seal intact during air transport and at altitude. Latch is a double-throw design rated for 5,000 open/close cycles. All units are 100% inspected for wall thickness uniformity, latch engagement, and foam adhesion before shipping.
We maintain 200+ foam-cut reference designs for expedition-case manufacturing process, covering camera bodies, drone kits, broadcast gear, military equipment, medical devices, and industrial tools. Send us your equipment list, we will match to the closest reference or draft a new layout free within 24 hours.
Cheap expedition-case manufacturing process: $3-8/unit, 6-month lifespan, 200-cycle latch, 15 kg/m³ foam. Our expedition-case manufacturing process: $5-15/unit, 10-year lifespan, 5,000-cycle latch, 25 kg/m³ foam. Over 5 years, our case is 4-5x cheaper per year of use. Total cost of ownership wins.
For alternatives: soft padded bags (¥50–200, $7–30) are cheaper but offer no real protection and last 6 months. Aluminum hard cases ($80–300) are heavier, prone to denting, and 2–4× the price. Carbon fiber cases ($300+) are overkill for 95% of B2B use cases. Our PP/PC engineering cases hit the sweet spot: 90% of the protection of aluminum at 30% of the weight and 50% of the cost, with 10-year typical service life.
After expedition-case manufacturing process ships: (1) We send QC photos before shipment. (2) Lot certificate with serial numbers. (3) 90-day defect replacement. (4) Foam re-cut service for equipment changes. (5) 5-year case body warranty. (6) Tooling stored 3 years for easy reorder.

📹 60-second factory + product walkthrough. expedition-case manufacturing process buyer guide walkthrough, equipment fitting, quote process
OEM: you design, we manufacture. ODM: we design (based on your use case), you brand. OEM requires 3D model / spec sheet from you. ODM requires usage description only. OEM MOQ 500, ODM MOQ 200. Both lead time 25-30 days for tooling.
Yes. Free samples for standard WL series (you pay shipping, $30-80 via DHL). 5-day sample lead time. Custom samples: $200-500 fee (refundable on order >2,000 units), 7-15 day lead time.
No, you can supply your own foam. We can ship the case without foam (15% cost reduction) or with custom foam (your spec). Our standard foam is 25mm base + 10mm convoluted lid, CNC-cut to 0.5mm tolerance.
PP case body: 10+ year typical service life with normal use. Foam set: 5+ years before showing compression set. Latch: 5,000-10,000 open/close cycles. Hinge: 10,000 cycles. Replace foam when it no longer rebounds; replace case when latch or hinge fails.
We can re-cut foam for the same case. Cost: $20-50 per foam set depending on size. Lead time: 5-7 days. We keep your foam layout in our database for 3 years for easy re-order. If equipment changes significantly, you may need a different WL series.
