When Your Cases Cost More Than They Should

A growing equipment sales organization faced a challenge we see all too often: their field representatives needed professional, durable cases to transport specialized equipment and documents to new customer sites, but their current solution was draining resources and limiting growth.

  • High per-unit costs: Paying $256 per case from their existing supplier — eating into margins on every sale.

  • Massive minimum orders: Locked into ordering 200+ cases at a time, tying up over $51,000 in inventory.

  • Limited functionality: Cases lacked dedicated document storage, forcing reps to juggle equipment and paperwork separately.

  • Brand consistency concerns: Deeply committed to their specific case color for professional brand recognition.

  • Long lead times: Waiting weeks for reorders while inventory sat dormant between bulk purchases.

Built in America, Designed for Success

At Evergreen, we approach every custom case project like we're gearing up for an expedition — with careful planning, the right equipment, and a spirit of adventure. Working with 100% USA manufacturing, we engineered a comprehensive solution that addressed every pain point.

Custom Design & Rapid Prototyping

Within just 2 weeks of receiving specifications, we delivered a sample featuring a custom internal hard lid panel specifically designed for document storage — keeping presentations, contracts, and technical documentation organized and protected.

2-week sample turnaround

Color Matching Perfection

Brand consistency isn't just nice to have — it's essential. Over 6 weeks, we conducted sample material testing and precision color matching to ensure their new cases would be identical to their existing fleet.

Exact brand color match

Strategic Timing & Collaboration

Our efficient design process gave the customer time to evaluate additional branding options. We provided clear production timelines, allowing orders to fit their business cycle — not a supplier's minimum order schedule.
