The Plastic Forming Company to Offer Metal Latches on Most Cases

For Immediate Release

Woodbridge, CT, May 1, 2019. The Plastic Forming Company, Inc. (PFC), the leading manufacturer of double-wall blow molded carrying cases for over 50 years, is pleased to announce they will be offering metal latches on their most popular size cases. The new latches are made in the USA out of durable Type 430 Stainless annealed steel with a polished finish and will be available on most case sizes 15 inches or larger.

Introducing the Case with Metal Latch

According to PFC Vice President & General Manager, Mike Warth, “While our patented molded plastic latches have been the industry standard for decades and proven themselves on tens of millions of cases in the most demanding environments, we decided it was the right time to offer our customers an alternative. Our unique modular mold system allows us to modify our existing tooling to accommodate these new latches cost-effectively. And, in keeping with our commitment to designing and manufacturing our products here in the USA, we are pleased that we can source our new metal latch domestically.”

Enhanced Foam Case with Metal Latch

These new latches are yet another value-added enhancement available on PFC’s broad line of double-wall blow molded cases, including Stock Cases off-the-shelf, foam cases with metal latches, and cases with integrally molded interiors. Other available enhancements include branding using 3D and hot-stamped color logos, in-house custom labeling, standard and custom case colors, interior doors and trays, and more.

PFC knows that a carrying case is not just packaging – it is part of your product throughout that product’s lifecycle. Designed well, it adds real value – providing the protection your product needs, creating an attractive product display, helping to build your brand, and making your product easier to use in the hands of your customers. PFC’s introduction of the foam case with metal latch is just one more way to enhance your product and your brand.
