THE SCIENCE BEHIND STRENGTH AND LIGHTNESS The Pelican™ Air case has been designed to cut weight without compromising durability. Pelican engineers have revolutionized the protector case by reducing structural waste while preserving their legendary standards of strength. In development for years, the design team challenged the status quo to "add lightness" to every detail.
Here are some important reasons why Pelican™ Air cases are both strong and light:
Molded from the next generation of Pelican’s lightweight HPX™ resin, a proprietary formula that rebounds without breaking
Honeycomb structural elements that are actually stronger than solid polymer material
Super-stiff "full box" sections are engineered to create hollow parts
UP TO THE TEST It wouldn’t be a Pelican™ case if you couldn’t drop it, kick it and run over it – and the Pelican™ Air case is no different.
Drop-tested on concrete on all sides and corners with loads from six feet
Submerged for 30 minutes at a depth of one meter
Wheels are roll tested over 914 meters
28 lb. steel dart dropped on all sides from one meter
Small Package Service refers to cases that can ship via UPS, Fedex or USPS and would be charged a standard rate based on the weight. Cases must weigh less than 150 lbs. and meet certain dimensional requirements. Always check the carrier’s small package policy for exact limits.
Checked Baggage refers to cases that can be checked in on the airlines that are under 50 lbs. and 62 in. overall or less and would be considered standard size bags that would not incur an oversize fee. Overall dimensions of the case are determined by adding the length, width and height together. Always check your airline’s specific policy, as size and weight limits can vary by carrier and route.
1556Air – The Pick N Pluck™ Foam is shock-absorbent, pre-scored Foam in tiny cubes. The item is placed on the foam, outlined with chalk, and then the cubes around the item are removed to form a secure, protective cocoon. It is the easiest, fastest method for providing a cut-out for individual items. Best for shipping same items repeatedly. Also known as cubed or diced foam.
