Why a Custom Pelican Case Is the Ultimate Protection for Your Equipment

When your equipment is mission-critical, an off-the-shelf case isn’t enough. You need protection engineered for your exact gear, environment, and workflow. That’s where a custom Pelican case from CH Ellis comes in. It combines Pelican’s legendary durability with precision-engineered customization for performance, organization, and brand presentation.

Built on the Pelican Legacy

Pelican™ cases are the industry benchmark for injection-molded protection. Made in the USA and trusted across military, medical, and industrial applications, they offer:

  • IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof protection
  • Impact-resistant polypropylene construction
  • Automatic pressure equalization valves
  • Lifetime warranty and field-tested reliability

But what sets a custom Pelican case apart isn’t just the case. it’s the engineering that goes inside and on it. At CH Ellis, we take the world’s toughest case and make it yours.

Custom Engineering for Real-World Demands

Every product has different protection requirements. Whether you’re safeguarding precision instruments, diagnostic devices, or field service kits, our team designs interiors that perform under pressure.

Our in-house customization capabilities include:

  • Precision-cut custom foam for shock absorption, component organization, or ESD-safe storage
  • System integration — mounting electronics, batteries, or diagnostic components directly inside the case
  • Laser-etched branding and digitally printed overlays for a professional, branded presentation
  • Hardware and label customization including handles, hinges, and serialized identification
  • Sewn or vacuum-formed tray inserts for organization and quick access

These modifications turn a rugged case into a fully functional system that supports how your teams work.

Designed for Every Industry

Pelican’s injection-molded platform makes it adaptable across industries  and our engineers at CH Ellis know how to fine-tune it for your specific environment:

  • Medical and Life Sciences: Antimicrobial or non-off-gassing foam protects sterile or optical instruments.
  • Aerospace and Defense: Foam layering and integrated trays provide rapid deployment and re-packing efficiency.
  • Industrial and Field Service: Custom cutouts prevent tool wear and improve technician productivity.
  • Electronics and Robotics: Anti-static foam, cable management, and ventilation options support powered systems in the field.

From prototypes to production, CH Ellis ensures every custom Pelican case enhances protection, portability, and usability.
