What Are ATA Cases?
ATA Cases, also known as road cases or flight cases are small, portable shipping containers meant to keep your equipment safe and secure during turbulent flights or vigorous travel.
Typically, these cases are characterized by their unique silver trim against black industrial materials and secure latching.
Made for flight travel, these cases were named after the Air Transport Association (ATA) of the mid-1900s, and have since gained popularity under the name of road cases as musicians would store their band equipment in these containers while on tour.
ATA cases have been used in a range of unique sectors from the military to trade shows, medical, and everything in-between. Its prevalence in these industries showcased the container’s durability and craftsmanship with an iconic look that can be customized to suit your brand’s needs. Learn more >
Built to Order, Built to Last
At Orcon Industries, we strive to ensure the consistent quality and durability of each case to protect sensitive equipment and materials.
If you are in the market for a case that will last for many years with rigorous handling before needing repair, choose an ATA case and customize it to your needs. ABS or aluminum laminated fir plywood, split rivet construction and heavy duty hardware provides superior protection from most other shipping solutions.
Shipping and Transporting ATA Cases
As a leading company in protecting goods during shipping and transportation, we provide advice on how to store and pack your goods once an ATA case is in your hands. The outer laminate panel is perfect for sensitive goods and equipment.
Furthermore, custom die-cut high-density foam inserts can help minimize shuffling for storing multiple small pieces in the case, and each foam piece can be layered for maximized protection during shipping.

What Are ATA Cases Made From?
Depending on what you are transporting, ATA cases come in three different categories, with category I being the most long-lasting and durable under normal airline cargo handling practices. These cases are designed to handle a minimum of 100 one-way trips under these conditions before needing any kind of repair.
A category I case must be constructed using metal or plastic as these materials are the most durable.
