In the world of professional audio and lighting equipment, protection during transport is paramount. While plywood flight cases have been the proven industry standard for decades, they do come with certain limitations that professionals often face. Traditional plywood can be susceptible to moisture damage, adds significant weight during transport, and isn’t environmentally sustainable.
This is where our innovative PAC® Flight Cases come in – offering a modern alternative that addresses these challenges while maintaining the protection standards professionals demand.
The Real Problems with Traditional Flight Cases (And How We Solve Them)
Every day, audio and lighting professionals struggle with the limitations of traditional plywood flight cases. From excessive weight to moisture damage, these problems cost time, money, and equipment. At Rajratan Group, we’ve engineered PAC® technology to solve every single one of these issues. Here’s how:
Problem 1: Moisture Damage
The Problem: Laminated plywood absorbs moisture through joints, scratches, and worn areas, causing:
- Swelling and warping that jams locks and latches
- Delamination where wood layers separate
- Internal condensation damaging sensitive electronics
- Mold and mildew growth destroying equipment
- Complete case failure during outdoor events or humid storage
Our PAC® Solution: Our flight cases are 100% waterproof. The PAC® material will never absorb moisture, swell, warp, or delaminate. Your expensive audio and lighting equipment stays completely dry in any weather condition, eliminating costly moisture-related damage.
Problem 2: High Maintenance Requirements
The Problem: Plywood cases require constant upkeep:
- Regular refinishing to maintain professional appearance
- Replacement of worn protective coverings
- Repair of dents, scratches, and impact damage
- Hardware replacement due to wood degradation
- Hidden costs that add up over time
Our PAC® Solution: Our flight cases require virtually no maintenance. They’re easy to clean, maintain their professional appearance without refinishing, resist scratches and dents, and have hardware mounting points that won’t degrade or loosen over time.
Problem 3: Limited Durability
The Problem: Despite initial strength, plywood cases deteriorate over time and have a limited lifespan:
- Wood fibers break down under repeated stress
- Adhesive bonds weaken with temperature changes
- Cases develop cracks in the wood surface
- Warping occurs from moisture exposure and temperature cycling
- Impact damage accumulates, compromising protection
- Typically need replacement every 5-7 years
- Risk of equipment damage as cases age, crack, and warp
Our PAC® Solution: Our flight cases offer extended service life with superior impact resistance. The PAC® composite material doesn’t crack or warp like plywood, maintains structural integrity under stress, and provides consistent protection for decades. Our cases are specifically engineered to NOT crack, deform, or degrade over time.
Problem 4: Poor Weather Resistance
The Problem: Traditional cases fail in harsh conditions:
- UV exposure fades and degrades surface treatments
- Temperature cycling weakens adhesive bonds
- Salt air corrodes hardware and penetrates wood
- Extreme temperatures cause expansion and contraction damage
- Weather-related failures during critical events
Our PAC® Solution: Our flight cases are engineered for all weather conditions. PAC® material is UV-stable, temperature-resistant, immune to salt corrosion, and maintains performance in extreme conditions from arctic cold to desert heat.
