Light bulb phase. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of your objectives and the passion behind your product so we can weave it into the fabric (pun absolutely intended) of your packaging solution.
The napkin sketch. Playing on our collective knowledge and creative collaboration, we sketch out high-level design options and develop the tone of the final design together through functionality, colors and brand representation.
The sketch pops off the paper. With a roadmap in place, we move to the drafting table where the design and concept take shape. This phase is critical to answering open questions so we minimize potentially expensive changes later in the process.
Drum roll please. Through 3D models and rendering, you'll get a sense of the final product's look and feel. While we aim to have the initial vision captured, elements can be revised to ensure it’s exactly what you want.
It’s tool time. Sit back and relax while we create your custom dies and molds (if applicable). Depending on the manufacturing process, this can take anywhere from one to six weeks, depending on the complexity of the design.
It’s aliiive! No custom project proceeds to manufacturing without your approval on the First Article. This is the moment where your product is finally tangible and comes to life. And if ISTA or environmental testing is required, it would happen during this phase as well.
Shh! No peeking. You can continue to chill while we continue cutting, molding, sewing and printing away. Your case is assembled, inspected, packed and prepared for shipment to you and your deserving customers.
It’s the big reveal. It’s finally here — the moment where the world gets to see your new case. It’s like the birth of your first child, but better. Need help managing your inventory and Just In Time shipments? No problem, we’ve got you covered there, too. Your first born has nothing on that.

The humble beginnings of Pelican cases can be traced back to the design of a superior first-aid kit for scuba divers, a product fashioned in the garage of scuba enthusiast Dave Parker in 1976. In those 40+ years, Pelican has become a global leader of high-performance protective cases, driven by the vision of protecting all that you value.
The Customer’s Challenge: When storing and transporting a very expensive and sensitive piece of surveying equipment from site to site, one business found that its technicians were often calling headquarters to send replacement parts and fix damaged equipment.
The CBS Solution: A roto-molded, single lid case from Pelican offered an extremely durable and protective solution for the equipment in-transit. Using a two-tone, closed-cell foam, we created a custom insert to hold the surveying device as well as its accessories.

The Customer’s Challenge: To move a lot of tools from site to site, technicians at one business relied on multiple cases and boxes. To streamline their efforts, they strived to develop one case to store and transport all necessary tools.
The CBS Solution: Our team designed an all-in-one tool case to store the customer's 100 tools. We leveraged a two-tone, closed-cell foam for inventory control, which allowed users to easily open a drawer and identify any missing tools.

The ultra-durable nature of Pelican cases means they can withstand hazardous conditions in transit and handling, as well as on-site.
Tested to be watertight, Pelican cases keep the products they house safe in the face of moisture due to their open-cell core and solid-wall construction.
Compared to other polymer cases on the market, Pelican cases are up to 40% lighter — so lightweight in fact that they can even float.
