		Ball Corners
			Every case supplied by Anvil Cases has steel corners for resistance to hard corner drops. Generally, those corners are steel impact balls. We use square corners only when a case is too small to get full balls on it, or if the balls will cause interference to the operation of the case. There are two types of Steel Balls. The convex type for direct impact and the concave top style to allow similar cases to stack. Of course, if the case is equipped with casters, but stacking is still required, we have recessed steel cups to receive the casters from one case onto the top of another. We seem to have a never-ending list of tricky little parts to accomplish most anything. Remember, these parts are the very best we can supply. We design and supply the very best case you can buy; Anvil Cases.

		Case Access Without Opening
			It may surprise you to know that we design a lot of cases with trap doors, access panels, external electrical connections, cable ports, "magic panels" and an assortment of external access methods while a case remains closed or semi closed. Keep in mind; this is not your Grandmothers Case Company! We are called upon by many of our customers to be creative in the solution to their specific needs in a High Tech world. We are "Techies", that is our love at Technology Hardware. We design Anvil Cases to do things that our customers really dream of doing in a portable container but did not think could be done. But all that Tech excitement aside, it may be as simple as a "Dog Door" on a case to allow cables to pass, or it may be the need to operate a very sophisticated device from inside a case while keeping it out of sight and/or secure at the same time. It may just be the control door on a lift case or an emergency access panel for a special purpose. We can create multi function designs to serve your requirement. We make a lot of Network Systems enclosures where the case needs only access at the "User" side. We make Emergency Restoration Telephone Switch cases; rollem out, hookem up. We make lots of cases where a CPU or Server remains inside the case operating while the real "Demo" unit is hooked to it and on display. We make wireless systems demo kits. How about a field deployable, stand alone, Radio Repeater System with built in Solar Panels? Weve done it. We wish there was space to list all the different, unique and sometimes classified projects we have done. We can make your field job a lot easier with one of our ergonomic designs. We can make that "on site" demo go so smoothly, that you just have to leave with the order. We can make training easier; and for sure, we can make your gear reach the destination in good working order, over and over again.

		Combining Cases
			There are times, for many logistical reasons, it is desirable to combine several smaller cases into one larger one. As an example, if several cases are to be sent to a remote location before they are then deployed to different locations from there, single case shipment may be in order. The cost of freight and handling may be reduced by the use of one container vs. several to the same destination. If several project groups are to each have their separate bill of equipment, it is much easier and more secure to have each project group assigned a case for their requirements. From an inventory standpoint this gives the manager much greater control. When a system needs to be deployed at a remote location but the system is large and made up of several subsystems, again, an integrated case is in order. Trying to keep the parts from being intermingled, or one portion lost and to aid in fast set up, separate cases are a good idea. An example of this is a project we did for a remote field Television Studio Link. TV cameras were each in their own color-coded cases and the studio systems, mixers, cables, tripods, teleprompters, etc. were each in their own cases with the parts needed for each. The complete system then was placed into one large case.

		High Weight Capacity
			We can take the weight! No mater how large or heavy your device may be, we can create a top ATA grade, fully functional, long life, safe transportable enclosure for it. Dont waste money on short life crates. Our cases run rings around crates for long life, durability and long term economy. Our cases are friendly to your equipment, with safety-designed interiors, and friendly to the user in ease of operation. You need no tools to open and close your Anvil Case. Our strong, smooth steel, non-burst-open latches are easy to operate. An Anvil Case never threatens even the nicest of manicures. There is no risk of exterior wood splintering as there is in a crate. This keeps the Workmans Comp guys happy. A continually reusable Anvil Case is a "Bean Counters" dream as well. You can amortize an Anvil Case like many other long-term durable devices. Quick note on the engine case shown; we have preset Forklift slots to facilitate lifting. Of course, we offer several different grades of Casters as well to help create a rolling case for ease of movement and still be Forklift friendly.

		Lid Compartment
			Waste not; want not. Boy, those old sayings come in handy sometimes. Mom would be proud. A case cover can make a good place to store things needed at the beginning of deployment. Of course we want to make things easier, and we dont want you to have to go "Dumpster Diving" inside your own big case looking for that screwdriver, disk or key to the power switch. Lid compartments are great for those small items that are always missing in action. Compartments are good place for power cords, data cables and manuals. (Of course, no one ever needs the manual!). Many of our designs provide for accessories down inside the case. Sometimes we need the entire cover area for foam padding. But where we can, we use every inch of space within our control. We can create the design you need. We can make it simple or elaborate. We will work with you to get exactly what you want and need.

		Locks
			Anvil has several different types of locks, for locking your case when needed. We offer a Twist Key Lock, Twist Hasp Latch, Twist Combination Lock, or Briefcase Lock. There is also an option of no locks, but the case will still have a Butterfly Twist Latch (which will allow the case to be closed, but without needing a key, padlock, or combination to open it). Twist Key Lock * Twist Hasp Latch * Combination Lock

		Twist Key Lock
			Anvil has a Twist Key Lock, that is approved for ATA Cases. This lock is recessed, so has no protruding or dangling parts, which would allow freight handlers to knock off, rip off, or otherwise damage. This lock has a key that when in the unlock position, allows the Twist Butterfly Latch to be opened.

		Twist Hasp Latch
			Anvil has a Twist Hasp Latch, that uses your own padlock. This lock will allow something to protrude & dangle, which can be knocked off by your average freight handler.

		Combination Lock
			Anvil has Twist Combination Lock, that you can chose your own code to unlock the case. This lock is recessed, so has no protruding or dangling parts, which would allow freight handlers to knock off, rip off, or otherwise damage.

		Shockmount With Table
			The EIA Shock Mount Case (or other standards) is offered with several options. One of the most popular options is the "Table Option" or "MICS" as we call it. In Shock Rack Cases over 15 r/u interior, (17 r/u for non-shock racks) a removable exterior cover can become a table when equipped with the appropriate hardware. One side of the cover is set with "table clamps" that attach to reciprocal mounting plates on one or both sides of the main Rack Cabinet. The other end of the cover is set with a fold down dual point table leg. In fact, both covers can be so equipped to allow the case to be the center point for two attachable tables. For Shock Racks with an interior of 24 r/u or taller, the covers can become "stand alone" tables by using two sets of drop down legs. Those same tables can be set with hardware that allows attaching to the case with one leg up, or use both legs for an independent table. If you are a user going out into the field to do Training or a Trade Show, what better way to save time and money than by using parts of a case you already have. In fact, at Trade Shows this can be quite a money saver. You do not have to rent tables and you do not need extra labor in the set up or tear down process. Your Anvil Shock Rack never leaves your display area. A major portion of your display arrives, ready to use and brings some tables with it. In field deployments, such as Military applications or Field set-up in an Industrial setting, you have your equipment ready to go, safe and sound inside the Anvil Shock Rack, and, you have a handy table for maps, documents and drawings. The professionalism displayed in such innovative deployment ideas is hard to put into words in a brochure. But be assured, your contemporaries will take notice.

		Speedster
			The "Speedster" idea brings convenience to many of our case designs. Shown here on a case built of Armorlite material, the Speedster option is available in all our case materials. The convenience of being able to check our hard body protective case and have it meet all the ATA requirements and then later deal with it as though it was a soft-sided garment carrier is quite desirable. If you are the quintessential "Road Warrior", flying, renting cars, on the move constantly, the Speedster case is just what you need. We build many of this style for folks that must travel with demonstration systems, a Laptop, along with documentation and other support devices and materials. Of course the interior of the case is custom designed to protect your items while they are in the loving hands of the Baggage and Freight Handlers. This case meets the ATA specification for Air Travel and Air Freight. The wheels are high-grade ball bearing wheels and the handle has a strong internal mechanism to keep it working. You will notice that the handle retracts all the way into a steel cup area where it is protected from the rigors of the freight world. The two rubber bumpers you see on the bottom of the case, near the pull out handle, are there to make the case level when you open it. Like all the cases we design and supply, this case is meant for heavy omnibus use. It can be shipped by Common Carrier, Air Freight, UPS, checked as Baggage or carried from Automobile to Prospect Meeting. By the way, before you ask, the metal plate on top of the case pictured, is an optional shipping label plate (SLP). It is Air Bill sized and meant to be the place to locate shipping documents. It is much easier to pull old document envelopes off the SLP than off the tough surface of the case.

		Stackability
			Whenever you have a collection of similar sized cases they can be stacked on top of one another for conservation of space. In some instances the cases do not even need to be the same size to stack. We have stacking methods to fit several design intents. As an example, if you simply want to stack same sized cases to warehouse them, we can use the stacking ball system. This is where the top steel impact resistance balls of one case are concave at the top. The impact resistance balls on the bottom of another case fit snugly into it for stacking. If a case has wheels, it can be stacked safely on top of another one if the lower case is equipped with "stacking caster cups". The cups on the top of one case receive the wheels of the case above it. Stacking for field use is very common in the Broadcast industry as well as in Military applications. Again, we have specialized hardware to allow operational stacking of "Shock Racks" so that the contents may be used without removal from the case. We can build "Operating Bridges" where a center case creates a bridge between two stands of stacked cases on the left and right. Imagine a field scenario where video monitors, meters or other indicators are centered between left and right operating systems. We can even add a table top between the stacked cases as an operating platform.

		The Foam
			The heart of any case design is the interior foam. Just foam alone is not enough. Anvil Case interiors are "foamed out" with the highest quality foam available. Our interiors are designed for the very best shock and vibration dampening and shock absorption. Another of many reasons why the Anvil Case out performs all the other pretenders. It all starts with our Computer Aided Design (CAD) system where the interior foam requirements for your specific device, size and weight are calculated. This is not a general application. This is not something that is done once for a large order and then simply repeated. This is done for every single case, for every single application. You can buy one case or a hundred, each enclosed item is designed into its own foam compartment. Accessory areas are created for less critical items. Nothing is left to chance. An example would be a case holding a Flat Panel Display, CPU, Keyboard and Accessories such as cables, mouse, network device, etc. We would have a specific compartment for the Display, CPU & Keyboard. The remaining items would go into an accessory area as they need much less protection. Your device(s) is protected from impact in any and every direction. In fact, one of our prime design criteria is to be absolutely sure that your Anvil Case works in every geometry; on its back, upside down, on its side. It makes no difference. The freight handling and transportation world is quite unfriendly, in fact brutal. We simply do not allow any weak spots or compromises. The entire case interior is designed to function like one big soft spring. With Supermans X-Ray eyes, you would see that your device is floating, unharmed, while it is in our case. If there is a special fragile spot, it gets extra special attention. We know what the "G force" is in a drop off the back of a truck. We know what anti-forces are needed to protect your item in a drop from the cargo door of a 747 freighter onto the tarmac. Every case we supply is designed to take that kind of punishment, repeatedly, for years. We have plenty of customer testimonials to prove it. We do not use egg crate foam or precut foam cubes (plucky foam). First of all, Anvil Cases is going to do the interior foam work for you. This is not a random application. We know exactly what foam is needed and where it must be placed. When you buy an Anvil Case it arrives complete, well thought out and ready to use. Some case makers simply skip that entire process. We are appalled! The detailed foam work part of the case represents 50% of the required protection offered by the combination of the case and the foam inside it. Please, never, ever, leave this part of a case to chance or to amateurs. If you never buy a case from us, we wish you well; but remember never let anyone short change you on interior foam and its proper design and application. The integrity of the foam is what we rely on to create that all-important spring effect that will protect your device(s). We have some very exacting calculations to create the proper foam interior environment for an Anvil Case. Would you buy a car with no interior, just to be handed a pile of vinyl and foam pieces and told to go figure out your own interior? Would you buy a wristwatch and be happy to receive the outside case and a handful of little parts and be told to make it work for yourself? Probably not. Why do that with a Transit Case? "Do it yourself" case interiors are along the same lines. It ranks right up there with "do it yourself surgery". If you are dealing with little foam pieces that you tear apart to make a shape, what do you think will happen to the remaining foam during a hard drop? Your device will "submarine" through the remaining sliced and diced foam and tear it out also. It would be like going under your Living Room floor and cutting each board half way through. Where is it safe to step? Bottom line. We create the exact proper foam interior to protect your items. We generally use "foam blocking" inside foam cavities to create a safe environment. We are not referring to "conformal cutting" which takes the exact shape of the item, though we do that as well when requested or required. Conformal cutting is used in Guitar Cases as an example. To save cost, for most items, we create a foam compartment, sized for the device, blocked in at critical points to properly hold and protect the item and have a surrounding solid foam shock environment 360 degrees around the device.

Vents, Connectors, etc.
	Value added service sets us apart from the rest of the case world. We can create simple electrical connections to ease your internal installation time, or we can provide full finished product operating systems based your equipment. We have power connections, power strips, special rack mount power strips with 12 outlets and 14 foot power cords. We can supply connection plates, and connector panels like BNCs, RJ45s, 9 pin, 25 pin, usbs and more. We will work with you to create the ultimate case for your application.

Wheels
	Anvil offers a range of wheels, which will support various needs, weights, etc. Whether you want the Speedster Option (Recessed Wheels, and Retractable Handle), Heavy Duty Wheels, Super Heavy Duty Wheels, and Locks for the Wheels. Whatever the need, Anvil has the Wheels for you. Heavy Duty Wheels * Super Heavy Duty Wheels * Locking Brakes * Speedster

Heavy Duty
	Anvil has Heavy Duty Wheels (or Casters), that will support weights up to 250 lbs. These are ball bearing Wheels, and you have the option of having 2 or 4 locking Wheels (brakes to prevent the case from rolling away, while you are either loading or unloading the contents of your case).

Super Heavy Duty
	Anvil has Super Heavy Duty Wheels (or Casters), that will support weights up to 350 lbs. These are ball bearing Wheels, and you have the option of having 2 or 4 locking Wheels (brakes to prevent the case from rolling away, while you are either loading or unloading the contents of your case).

Locking Brakes
	Anvil offers Locking Brakes on their Heavy Duty, and Super Heavy Duty Wheels. This allows you the comfort of loading or unloading the contents of your case without having the case roll away under you. These Locking Brakes are foot controlled, so you do not need a free hand in order to use them.

Armorlite Weight Saver
	There are times when special materials are required to reduce the weight of a specific case or case design. We have two very good alternatives to our normal Ply/ABS mainstream material. The case you see in the photo here is done in our Armorlite material. Armorlite can be useful in reducing case weight when the case must carry loads in excess of 100 to 120 pounds. Before that limit, or somewhere near it, choosing Armorlite may not reduce the weight enough to justify the change from our traditional material. We will easily be able to tell you as we gather data on your requirement. Armorlite is basically an aluminum / polymer sandwich. It consists of an exterior aluminum skin, followed by a polymer interior plate, followed by another aluminum interior skin. Colors are limited in this product, but our Armorlite users are not generally interested in color. They are after weight savings in a large case or some other benefit such as resistance to small arms fire, useful to our Military and Law Enforcement users, or resistance to low frequency emissions or thermo reactions which may help our Scientific users. The other, and more popular lightweight material is XLT-1. There is a very long history in our industry of people attempting to find a lightweight material that performs like the Anvil Case Ply/ABS laminated material that Anvil traditionally uses. This search is comparable to the hunt for Kryptonite or Indestructium. Those mythical materials have eluded our industry as much as Supermans nemeses dodged him. Some of our competitors (many of which are no longer around) attempted using different forms of plastic sheeting, but the results were laughable. Some have tried a waxed cardboard appearing material and met with instant disaster. The very precious few who are left, are trying to use a material that seems to be a plastic replica of cardboard. We are well aware of those efforts and of the low-grade materials. We are also very aware of their startling poor results by Anvil Case standards. The Anvil Case Company has tested many of the alternative materials and rejected them all. Finally, Anvil Cases found a European Polymers Manufacturer who had the right formula. Anvil calls it XLT-1. It is layers of Polypropylene with a close cell support system that looks like the sucker pads of an Octopus. This material was tested by Anvil and then released to the market in limited cases. Our experience over the last few years with this material has been extremely good. We still do not pull it out of our bag of tricks all the time, but it does have its place. We can reduce upwards to 20% of the weight out of a case design, if it is necessary. Some may ask why we just dont use the lighter weight materials all the time. First, they add cost. Sometimes that cost is simply not justified. Second, in some case sizes, the weight saved is not enough. Third, our design criteria or use requirement may not coincide with a change of materials from our normal Ply/ABS. You can trust us to guide you through this maze with our expertise. We sell customer satisfaction and we strive for that in everything we do. We will resist your spending money for something that will not yield a strong benefit to you. That all goes with why we build a specific case just for your application.

Flat Plasma Display
	Large Flat Plasma Displays are tough to protect. Of course, there is no one better to do the job than us. As you can see from the photograph of the "Trapezoid" case, we have once again, thought outside the box, so to speak. The Anvil Case Trapezoid Container is quite unique. This design is meant to force the Freight Carriers to keep the case and enclosed screen in a vertical upright position. That is something recommended by most Flat Panel Screen Manufactures. Frankly, even if they did not recommend it, the idea is valid as opposed to a thin rectangular case. A thin, rectangular case invites abuse. They are thrown about, and can be laid down with other items stacked on them. Not what you want for you Plasma Display Screen. The interior of the Trapezoid case is foamed specifically for each model of Flat Screen it is meant to enclose. We go to great pains to create an air cushion at the front of the screen to prevent any abrasion or impact. The interior face foam outlines the frame of the screen and holds it steady without touching the screen itself. Foam blocking around the base piece, top and the rear of the monitor, hold it still and give it the shock cushion it needs. The low center of gravity resists tipping. Restaurant Waiters do object to our resistance to tipping, however. Steel impact balls at each exterior corner, is the first line defense against traumatic shock reaching your Monitor. Then the internal foam spring system absorbs the rest of the shock. The casterboard and heavy-duty steel frame Jarvis ball bearing casters allow for ease of movement and additional base shock absorption. A further benefit of this case design is that if is should get on its side, it will rock back and forth, like a Turtle on its back. This thwarts anyone stacking something on it, and begs to be put upright again. This is our adaption of human nature, generally people do not like things rocking back and forth, and will take steps to rectify the problem Handles are located on the ends and sides to make handling a breeze. The case is based on our Pull Over design (POC), where the majority of the case lifts off the short caster base for ease of access to the enclosed screen. The only option on this case is locks. We make locks optional because of the continuing debate in the security world and in foreign customs. Contact us and we will be pleased to discuss the pros and cons of locks.

Drawers
	Anvil and Technology Hardware, offer several different drawers for our Racks. You have the option of a Carpet Lined Drawer, Foam Lined Drawer, or a Locking Metal Drawer, depending on the type of Drawer you need. We will work with you to ensure that all your needs are met.

Fast Deploy
	The case shown here is just an example of the Anvil versatility. Whether its a small case with multiple compartments with cover doors, or a large case with the same. We will design exactly what you need, at no charge. The case in the photograph has movable dividers allowing the user to determine their compartment sizes by moving the hard ABS divider board. The slots are cut in an firm Ethafoam material which holds the divider boards firmly and is easy to clean as well. Give us your application, we will design exactly what you need, quickly and deliver it fast.

Shelves
	Anvil and Technology Hardware offer several different types of Shelves for our Racks, depending on your need. We have Shelves on Glides, Keyboard Shelves (that pull out), and non Gliding Shelves (where equipment may be mounted directly onto the Shelf). We will work with you to ensure that the Shelf you receive is the one you need.

AFX Rack
	This is a non-shock mount rack case. Used mainly for the music industry.

Slant Shockmount
	Custom cases and cabinets is what we do. We are experts in portable racks, cabinets and cases. The photos showing slanted face portable Shock Racks is just one example. In fact, closer examination will show that we not only will create a special ergonomically sound enclosure, but we will further customize it with electrical components, fans and more. As we offer many options to create exactly the right enclosure, it is best to contact us to discuss what your requirement may be. We are "Techies" and we know every aspect of proper working environments for not only Racks but all types of portable enclosures. We can easily and quickly create an enclosure that is just right for your needs. We are experts at creating enclosures that can be shipped by the harshest methods and be used in the field without removal from the case. We supply Shock Racks with electrical, cooling, connector panels and other options. Additionally, we can create portable demo units in carrying cases. We have made self sustaining Wireless Demo Kits and portable Security Decoding Systems. Of course, we have supplied cases and enclosures for Medical Deployment, Networking, Emergency Restoration, Law Enforcement Field Equipment, Security Devices, Exploration, Space Applications and our daily work of just good old protection for delicate items in repeated transit.

Shockmount
	Shock Racks are a mainstay of our business. We are absolutely world famous for the Anvil Shock Rack System. The Shock Rack is a method where the user can mount equipment, normally meant to be rack mounted, into a rack that is floating inside a foam, shock resistant, collar. The interior rack is totally protected by the exterior shippable Anvil Case ATA approved shipping container. The shock rack allows the user to mount their equipment into a EIA standard 19" rack interior (others as well) and complete all internal connections. The user can set up their system to its intended operational level, latch on the front and rear removing covers of the container and then ship the entire unit, ready of operation at the deployment point. Its done. No special packaging. All the while the case is in transit, by Air Freight or Surface Truck, the internal racked system is being protected. The exterior case is taking the pounding and the foam interior shock collar is absorbing all the shocks and vibrations, keeping them from effecting the equipment mounted inside. When the case arrives at the "shipped to" location, the front and rear covers are removed and the system is ready for operation. We cannot begin to tell you how many hundreds of thousands of Anvil Shock Racks are in use today, but we can tell you this, the accolades we receive on this one single product alone, makes us continually proud. Over years we have refined the Anvil Shock Rack to meet the needs of todays very delicate equipment. Our applications and users include Network Systems, Transportable Training Class Systems, Audio, Video, Portable Studio, Multi System Servers, Emergency Restoration Systems, Field Testing and much more. OEM use. We have customers who manufacture rack mountable equipment who actually use the Anvil Shock rack for their final product enclosure, instead of a steel cabinet. The economics are with us; do the math. If you build a rack mount system and do so into an Anvil Shock Rack, the entire system is ready to ship the day it is completed. You have eliminated the need for a shipping container and also eliminated the steel cabinet. You can safely transport your equipment in the container it is built into. Further, the system can be tested and adjusted prior to shipping. When it arrives, it is ready for use. Hot swap out. An additional advantage of your product mounted in an Anvil Shock Rack is the ability to supply an instant change out system without major Service, Technical or Engineering people being involved. If you need to change out a system, upgrade it, or repair it, you can ship in a replacement, your user can place the covers on the original unit and ship it to you without any special packaging. We offer the Anvil Shock Rack system in a rainbow of colors, just like our other cases. We can customize the exterior by adding your name or silk screening on your Logo. We are happy to stencil on critical information as well. Speaking of Customization, the Shock Rack Case is always built to exactly your requirement. You can have exactly the number of EIA standard rack units you require. Also, you can have exactly the front to back depth you desire as well. No longer do you have to accept someone elses standard cabinet size. We are able to supply one or many, made exactly how you want it. We offer many deviations and accessories as well. You can get Euro standard or Telco standards besides the EIA 19" standard. We offer different styles of mounting rails, threaded, open square, plain or RETMA rail. We have shelves, drawers, special mounting rails, cable ports, Power strips, cooling and an expanded list of all the little items that make things easy. Imagine getting exactly what you need from people who know every little detail of how your requirement should work. When you call us you are talking to experts in racking.

Booth Desk
	We can design your case so that it can become a booth desk at a trade show. This feature can make your life easier since you no longer have to bring the heavy and bulky tables and chairs.

Exhibit Pro
	We design and build many Field Deployable Integrated Systems cases. They may range from the vary large to small but active demo cases, which may be briefcase sized. Each case design is unique to the requirement of the user. In some instances, the interior of the case encloses a combination of equipment, ready to operate while remaining in the case, along with attachments, supplies, and associated devices. In some instances it may be a full Shock Rack System filled with rack mount gear, but in operational mode. Our most inventive designs are where we combine both equipment, operating in the case, with removable articles such as catalogs, binders or presentation materials, laptops and flat panel monitors. Another, extremely popular design is where a Server or Network device is built into a case with compartments for removable laptops. This approach is very attractive for the company wishing to create active demonstrations or a classroom training environments. A very sought after, money saving, combination case is from the series we call "ExhibitPro". In the ExhibitPro Group we offer cases that are designed to be shipped into Tradeshows and Conventions and opened in the users Display Booth and deployed there. Imagine the time and cost savings of having a case that is shipped directly to your empty display booth, opened there, and the case becomes part of your display. Let us give you an example of a great ExhibitPro design. A front loading case with drawers, and compartments to hold display materials, laptop(s), Flat Screen Display(s), CPUs, literature and of course a pop-up backdrop. All in one container. When the cover of the case is removed it becomes a normal height (29" tall) table by virtue of its drop down legs integrated into the cover. The case itself becomes a stand (generally at 42") or another table or display support. Nothing leaves your booth. Your entire display came into the Convention Center or Hotel Ballroom, to your booth, became an integral part of the display and packed up just as easy. Of course we can supply a drape with your colors or even your logo to place over the table and/or stand. This case could pay for itself in one season. How many times have you or your people had to spend an extra night on the road because they could not get their cases delivered back to their booth in time to pack up and depart. Now, your case is already in your booth because it never left. Breakdown of the display is simple as there is a place for everything and everything will go back into its place. Adhere a Ship-Out label on it and head for your flight. This case is ideal for cost saving in ten and twenty foot displays. Your freight and handling costs are reduced, your labor cost is drastically reduced and you rent nothing from high priced show floor rental agencies. This is just one of many examples of the large, multipurpose case design ideas we have to serve you. We can create exactly what you need to present your product in an innovative way.

Podium Case
	We are just full of ideas. Give us your wildest enclosure desire and we will come up with a practical solution. The primary idea of an Anvil Case is to get ALL your materials to the destination location safe and unharmed. Often these visits are "whistle stops" and materials are inconvenient to acquire or costly. Renting equipment is always a dice roll as you are never sure things will show up on time, be what you want or be operating properly. And renting is expensive. We can design portable displays, training systems, and all sorts of fast deployable systems that are easy to use and long term cost effective. The photo here shows a lecture system that not only has internal storage for materials, but becomes part of the presentation system. This represents our ability to design and build most any integrated system you can imagine. What we talk about in the section entitled "Field Deployable Integrated Systems" is just the surface of our never-ending depth and quest to invent useful, transportable field solutions. Design and innovation is what Technology Hardware is all about. Those designs, executed to perfection by Anvil Cases, is what makes our customers sing our praises. Let us know what you need and we will create it. We will do a proprietary design just for you, at no charge. We will supply the case at a very competitive cost and deliver it fast. It does not get much better than that.
Soft Bag
	Though a soft bag is a considerable compromise to the safety afforded by a hard-body Anvil Case, shippable ATA transit container, there may be times when a lighter weight item does not need such safety and you wish to personally handle it. We design and supply soft bags with integral foam interiors with the same care, concern and proficiency as we do our hard-body shippable Anvil Cases. As always, we apply our knowledgeable experience and expertise to design an internal environment to protect your equipment. Safety and survivability of your equipment is what we are all about. Our soft bags are made from the very best durable materials with thoughtful adaptations like accessory compartments, carry and shoulder straps and even straps to anchor the soft bag to a Speedster style hard case for ease of movement. Your Logo can be embroidered on the final bag as well. Our main selling point in soft bags is excellence in materials and design. We make no compromises. A bag from us is meant to be long term reliable and give years of service. We are able to create soft bags in smaller quantities as well as large production quantities. We welcome your inquiries. Like every item we produce, premier references are available.
