Cases By Source Takes Flight: Carry-On Cases
Afraid to check in your fragile and valuable equipment when work mandates air travel? Whether you’re traveling on Continental or American Airlines, JetBlue or US Airways, you’ll likely encounter a different set of rules each time you approach the gate.
The law that governs passenger carry-on baggage does not specify sizes or weights but merely that the individual airlines must enforce their own policies. Some are kind enough to be very specific (see Jet Blue’s and other airline specifications on our dedicated Carry-On-Cases Guidelines Web page) and some are intentionally vague, leaving you to guess until the last minute. But even when you have all the information at your fingertips prior to leaving for the airport, you still run the risk of finding there’s no room left in the overhead bins and your bag’s too big or shapely to fit under the seat in front of you.
Enter Cases By Source. We offer cases that not only protect your precious and delicate gear, but also meet the majority of airlines’ (generalized) carry-on size specifications: There’s the PC-1510 or the 1510LOC, the IM2500, SKB’s 3i-2011-7B and the G-TOURCARRYONFO, to name just a few. And if the overhead bin’s packed to capacity? At least you can rest assured that your equipment will be safe and secure inside the protective case while stowed in the plane’s cargo hold. Even better? We can design a custom interior or foam insert to cradle your contents and deliver them safely and without compromise.
Source is dedicated to helping you find the best solution to get your equipment from Point A to Point B. Whether you need a case that can be brought on board your next flight or an ATA-Rated road case or shipping case that can be stored below, we have a wide variety of containers that will help you transport your equipment around the corner…or around the globe.

Case Study: Carry-On Sales Kit
A New Jersey-based sales rep for a spinal instrumentation company spent a significant amount of time shuttling between his office and the company’s headquarters in California. His cross-country flights proved too demanding for the flimsy corrugated packaging and commercially-produced dunnage he was using to transport the company’s anatomically-driven instrumentation. He came to Cases By Source to explore more effective custom case alternatives that would not only protect his equipment but also allow him to bring the customized demo case on board each flight.
We suggested a durable but portable case that would guarantee protection and still offer the  aesthetics of a sales demo kit. The Pelican 1510 Carry-On Case pairs durable, lightweight construction with a travel-friendly design that meets most FAA carry-on size regulations—a perfect solution for this client’s needs.
Using our sophisticated structural design tools, we measured each piece of equipment in order to determine the most sensible layout for the custom interior. We then created 3D computer models of the instruments and proposed interior to provide the customer with a quick snapshot of the case before production commenced. For this client, we fabricated a closed-cell  cross-linked, routed-foam custom insert to secure the items and display them in an efficient order inside the watertight, crushproof and dustproof case. This foam is available in a variety of densities with rich color saturations. For brand recognition and informational purposes, we added a scratchproof, personalized label to the exterior and a literature pouch was secured in the lid.
The customer now enjoys worry and hassle-free travel with a dependable, travel-friendly customized stock case that meets his every requirement
