Trifibre flight cases are typically made from phenol-coated birch plywood (also known as hexaboard), or laminated birch plywood which allows for a wide range of colours and finishes. Another common material is astraboard, which is a plastic sheet with a honeycomb core, designed to reduce weight while maintaining strength and durability. Flight cases are reinforced with steel corners and aluminium extrusions to improve their durability.
- Hexaboard has a rigid, hard-wearing finish that means it’s more resilient, and able to cope with heavier weights and greater impact than other materials. Hexaboard also provides protection from moisture, and it’s cost-effective and eco-friendly.
- Astraboard is used for more lightweight flight cases, as a plastic alternative that benefits from a polypropylene sandwich construction. Astraboard is therefore an ideal solution where weight and manoeuvrability are key considerations.
The exterior features of Trifibre flight boxes are finished with heavy duty fixtures and fittings, designed for maximum usability. This includes steel corners, combined with aluminium extrusions to protect the flight case from bumps and knocks during transit. Meanwhile, recessed steel carry handles provide long-term durability and help to streamline storage.
Flight cases also feature internal high-density foam padding to provide customised support and prevent the movement of equipment during transportation.
