Encore Cases

Packer cases or trunks are general-purpose cases ideal for transporting and storing pretty much anything. In the early days, they were referred to as ‘cable packers’, primarily used for getting looms of cable to and from a gig for the entertainment production industry. These days, they are used for transporting and storing all sorts of things such as merchandising for retail, sporting apparel and uniforms, gaming equipment, theatre stage set pieces, travelling exhibition and display items and technical equipment. Of course, they are still used as cable packers for the professional lighting, AV and broadcasting industries. The Encore range of packers are specifically designed for the rigours of touring. Componentry includes heavy-duty Hexaply, label dish (case labels available separately), eight heavy duty sprung handles, Penn Elcom hardware and castors and fully-lined with 10mm EVA foam.

A critical part of the logistical operations for a production is getting the truck pack “right”. An extensive selection of “truck-friendly” road case sizing goes a long way to getting the truck pack “right” the first time. The range of Encore Mother Trucker Packers makes it a much simpler task to plan and execute a truckload for the upcoming gig.  The result is time-saving for the load-in and load-out plus the inevitable improved use of truck space.

The Encore Mother Trucker Packers are built with ball corner-to-ball corner dimensions to suit the Australian internal truck tray width of 2400mm (+/-20mm). There are five combinations of Mother Trucker dimensions that fit across a truck bed; ie 4 x 600mm, 3 x800mm, 2 x 1200mm, (1600mm + 800mm) and (1800mm + 600mm).

There are then two standard heights – 550mm and 810mm – that allow a combination of height stacking to achieve consistent levels between the two (eg 3 x 550mmH case stack = 2 x 810mmH case stack).

The Mother Trucker packers give us a great range of sizes as the basis for Encore case fit-outs or fully custom Ovation cases to be made for specific products. Of course, the Mother Trucker dimensionswill not suit every product(s), but we will do our best to match these footprint dimensions wherever possible when building a custom case.
