Start an inquiry ↗ ## Case building in Bavaria: custom flightcases | DM-Cases Home / Cases / Custom built Cases / Custom built Case building in Bavaria: custom flightcases Case building starts with what goes inside. DM-Cases builds custom flightcases in Kolbermoor near Rosenheim, Bavaria. The projects shown include instruments, mobile kitchens and workstations as well as camera, audio and lighting equipment. Your enquiry starts with the contents, handling and transport route. Request a case Speak personally Three routes to the right case The previous range includes audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. These categories help you get started. They do not replace a discussion about your specific equipment. A rack solution raises different questions from a case with an individual interior or a case also used as a workstation on location. The original references demonstrate this range: from a server case to a make-up case and mobile workstations. The construction suited to your project is discussed based on your requirements. Please inquire directly about the current design. Audio & lighting: including case-in-case, large-screen projection and double-door racks. Standard racks: previous catalogue from 2 to 20 U, larger sizes on request. Custom builds: individual projects outside standard formats. Flightcases in different sizes by DM-Cases Consider material and construction together DM-Cases offers a selection of outer materials, coatings, locks, profiles and fittings. The materials pages document the previous range. You can use them for initial guidance and ask which design can be considered for your project. Dimensions alone do not fully describe a case. Lids, handles and the required access also belong in the plan. With racks, mounting depth is another key factor. Bring equipment dimensions, photographs or a list of your components. This gives your inquiry a specific starting point. In Kolbermoor. For your project in the Munich area. Your contact is Drago Mikudim in Kolbermoor near Rosenheim. For an inquiry from Munich, start with a description of the equipment and its intended use. Discuss personally whether and how an appointment, a review of the actual equipment or a handover would be useful. The company's stated aim is individual customer support. According to the original website, this also includes repairs and planning custom builds. Lead time and design are agreed for your project; historical product examples do not establish present availability. Flightcase building, roadcase or transport case? Flightcase, roadcase and transport case describe related tasks: keeping the contents in their designated place during transport and making them easy to handle at the destination. Case building brings together the shell, internal layout, lids, handles and catches. The name alone does not establish tested protection ratings or air freight approval. You do not need a finished drawing to enquire about having a flightcase built. Photos, transport dimensions, the weight of the contents and a description of how it will be used help the flightcase manufacturer discuss the project. At DM-Cases, your enquiry goes directly to Drago Mikudim. Which case suits the contents? The references show a range of uses. For a new build, discuss the case format and interior with Drago. These examples help you describe your requirements: Instrument case or guitar case: measure the instrument, vulnerable fittings and accessories together; plan removal and padding as well. Monitor case for a screen or display: allow for the stand, mount, connectors and transport orientation when measuring. Mixing console case, DJ case or rack case: discuss access to controls and cables and the setup at the venue. For 19-inch racks, rack units and mounting depth also matter. Camera and equipment case: list the camera, lenses, batteries and other accessories as a complete kit and agree on the internal layout. Mobile kitchen, makeup case or workstation in a case: plan its use on site as well as transport, including work surfaces and space for the open setup. Case building in Bavaria: Kolbermoor, Rosenheim and Munich Looking for a case builder in Bavaria or Upper Bavaria? DM-Cases is based in Kolbermoor in the Rosenheim area. For a project in Munich, you can start by sharing the contents, dimensions and requirements by phone, email or the enquiry assistant. Arrange any visit and the subsequent handover directly. Good to know What cases does DM-Cases build? The original website lists custom cases for film equipment, cameras and other technical devices. The previous range is divided into audio & lighting, standard racks and custom builds. Is DM-Cases based in Munich? The documented location is Kolbermoor near Rosenheim. You can discuss inquiries from Munich directly with Drago Mikudim. Are all the designs shown immediately available? The images document the previous range and completed projects. Ask about the current design and lead time for your specific project. Can I enquire about a custom transport case? Yes. Describe the contents and intended use. DM-Cases will discuss which flightcase construction, internal layout and fittings may suit your project. Any required protection specifications need to be discussed separately. From your equipment to the right case. Describe your project. Unknown dimensions and unanswered questions can remain open.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## Cases for audio, lighting and projection | DM-Cases Home / Cases / Audio & lighting Cases / Audio & lighting Cases for audio, lighting and projection A case for event equipment must suit the installed equipment and its operation. DM-Cases' previous range shows three specific approaches: case-in-case, cases for large-screen projection and double-door racks. Request a case Speak personally Case-in-case: the documented patch panel The original website shows the rear of a patch panel made as a case-in-case at a customer's request because of the highly sensitive equipment. This example illustrates individually agreed construction. No specific protection rating or tested damping performance is listed there. For a new inquiry, describe which equipment will be installed, which connections must remain accessible and how the system will be used. The historical example then becomes a concrete planning question. The appropriate design must be agreed with DM-Cases. Original example: case-in-case for highly sensitive equipment. Large-screen projection: consider the complete set Another original example is cases for large-screen projection, described on the previous website as a set for a rear-projection box. The image shows an existing solution. Dimensions, weight and technical limitations of this design are not specified in the original text. If you want to package projection equipment, list the individual components and their dimensions. Also discuss whether the parts should be housed together or separately. The photographic reference starts a conversation; it is not a general performance promise for every projection system. Case set for a rear-projection box for large-screen projection Double-door: access from two sides Double-door racks have a lid at the front and rear. The original product description lists improved operation and airflow as benefits. The effect on a specific device depends on its installation and its own requirements. DM-Cases also documents a standard rack range for professional rack-mounted equipment. There you will find the previous catalogue from 2 to 20 U, the listed construction depth and available designs. Agree actual equipment, connections and required clearances before commissioning. Double-door standard rack from the original range Good to know What does double-door mean for a rack? The rack has a lid at the front and one at the rear. DM-Cases' original catalogue lists operation and airflow as benefits. Can I order the case-in-case example unchanged? The patch panel shown was built to customer requirements. For a new project, equipment, dimensions and requirements must be discussed; current availability is not promised. Are technical protection specifications published for the examples? The original audio & lighting page lists no tested protection ratings or load values. Discuss required properties and evidence specifically for your project. From your equipment to the right case. Describe your project. Unknown dimensions and unanswered questions can remain open.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## 19-inch standard racks, 2 to 20 U | DM-Cases Home / Cases / Standard racks Cases / Standard racks 19-inch standard racks, 2 to 20 U Standard racks from the previous DM-Cases catalogue are intended for professional equipment with 19-inch front panels. Designs from 2 to 20 U are documented. Racks above 20 U and other mounting depths are discussed on request. Request a case Speak personally The catalogue as a starting point The original catalogue describes a 19-inch front panel with a rounded width of 48.3 cm and one rack unit rounded to 4.45 cm. Front-panel height determines the required number of units. For your rack plan, that information alone is not enough: equipment depth and access to connections should also appear in your inquiry. The previous standard design lists 6.5 mm wood thickness and 46 cm construction depth. Other mounting depths are provided for on request. These details document the existing catalogue version. Have the current design confirmed for your specific project. 19-inch standard rack from the previous DM-Cases catalogue All documented rack designs The table reproduces the original page's allocation of fittings. It shows how handles and latches change with the number of rack units. For every listed variant, the catalogue specifies two front rack rails. No additional features are promised here. Previous range: standard racks from 2 to 20 U. Please inquire about the current design.

Textured aluminium and aluminium chequer plate are listed as further options. The rack catalogue at the time describes all coatings listed there as textured. Racks in the previous range are described as single-door or double-door. In a double-door construction, front and rear each open via a lid. Clarify which lid arrangement suits your equipment and intended use together with the other dimensions. State the desired U count, equipment depth, contents and coating in your inquiry. If you have not chosen a variant, describe the application first. Individual material selection and custom-build planning are part of the service described on the original website. Good to know Are more than 20 U possible? The original catalogue expressly lists racks above 20 U on request. Whether and how your project can be built is agreed individually. How deep are the standard racks? The previous catalogue lists 46 cm construction depth and 6.5 mm wood thickness. Other mounting depths are mentioned on request. The current design must be confirmed for your project. Which rack colours are documented? Black, blue, midnight blue, turquoise, yellow, red, burgundy and grey. The rack catalogue also lists textured aluminium and aluminium chequer plate. From your equipment to the right case. Describe your project.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## Custom-built cases | DM-Cases Home / Cases / Custom builds Cases / Custom builds Custom-built cases Not every item of equipment fits a standard format. The original custom-build page captures its ambition with “We really pack everything ...”. Whether your specific project can be realised is clarified in a personal discussion. Request a case Speak personally The project starts with its contents For a custom build, your items and their intended handling come first. Describe what should go into the case and how the equipment is used. Actual dimensions and photographs of the setup are helpful. If several components are involved, list them individually. DM-Cases expressly includes custom-build planning in its service. Materials, fittings and dimensions that can be considered for a new project are discussed individually. The original examples convey the breadth of possibilities. They do not replace assessment of your project. Custom build from the previous DM-Cases range When the case is more than a shell The reference gallery documents mobile workstations, a desk in a case and a mobile lectern. Other examples include a make-up case for Bayerischer Rundfunk, a case for a gourmet slicer and a DJ mixing desk in a car. These are specific earlier projects with different tasks. A mobile kitchen is also shown. In the separate campervan project, cases were adapted together with a customer and used as shelving in a van. This does not establish general suitability for other vehicles or a particular fastening method. A new installation needs its own discussion. Two mobile workstations as an original reference A case used as a desk from the original gallery Put the requirements on the table The materials pages show the previous range of outer materials, coatings and fittings. Use this overview to describe your ideas. Handling, lids and layout should be discussed just as early as external dimensions. The current design, possible repair or modification and lead time for your project are agreed directly with DM-Cases. The documented contact is Drago Mikudim in Kolbermoor. This personal clarification is also the first step for inquiries from Munich. Instrument cases, monitor cases and custom formats A guitar case needs to fit the shape of the instrument. A monitor case also has to account for its mount and connectors. For a mixing console case or DJ case, it matters whether the equipment will be removed on site or stay in the case. Include these handling details in your enquiry. The original photos show completed work; your new case will be planned individually. More photographs from the original range These photographs also belong to the previous case archive. The small original images document designs from that time. Custom build from the original DM-Cases range. Custom build from the original DM-Cases range. Custom build from the original DM-Cases range. Good to know Which custom builds are actually documented? The original gallery shows mobile workstations, a desk, a mobile kitchen, a make-up case and a DJ mixing desk in a car, among others. Can I derive binding dimensions from a reference photograph? No. The projects shown document completed work. Dimensions, construction and the current design for your case must be agreed directly. How long does a custom build take? No fixed time is published for a new project. Discuss your timing needs and possible lead time directly with DM-Cases. From your equipment to the right case. Describe your project.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## Materials for cases and racks | DM-Cases Home / Materials / Construction matters Materials / Construction matters Materials for cases and racks A case is built from several decisions. DM-Cases' previous materials overview helps you name them: outer material, coating and locks, profiles and fittings. Request a case Speak personally Three areas, one shared project The original website describes individual manufacture and the opportunity to learn about the materials used beforehand. The catalogue provides a basis for discussion. Ask directly which materials can currently be considered for your project. Locks, profiles, fittings: latches, handles, frames, corners and hinges from the previous fittings range. Outer materials: documented composite panels, honeycomb and sandwich designs with their listed thicknesses at the time. Coatings: PVC on wood, smooth solid PVC sheets and textured aluminium on wood. Putting the information in context The detail pages preserve information from the original range. They do not promise stock availability. Nor does suitability for a particular use follow from a material name alone. Discuss the planned application and required properties specifically. For special requirements, such as fire behaviour or fastening, clarify the current design and suitable project-specific evidence before deciding. A historical catalogue description does not replace this discussion. Good to know Can I select materials individually? The original service description lists material selection according to customer requirements. The option possible for your current project is agreed individually. Is the previous materials catalogue an availability list? No. It documents the previous range. Ask directly about current designs and availability. From your equipment to the right case.

The original DM-Cases page shows a limited selection of standard fittings used. Other variations are listed there on request. Request a case Speak personally Locks and handles The previous catalogue includes different latch types and a folding handle.

Lockable snap catch Flap lock for the case interior Small lockable snap catch Stay hinge Extra over-latch with padlock Medium butterfly latch Over-latch Folding handle Profiles: frame and closure The original profile overview lists Casemaker, a lid frame with hooking groove and a closing profile. “Any heights up to 120 mm” is documented for the lid frame. For a new project, the exact profile choice must be confirmed together with case construction. Discuss early how the lid will be used and the intended dimensions. This keeps the inquiry focused on the planned construction. Do not infer profile cross-sections or connection dimensions from the small catalogue images. Casemaker. Lid frame with hooking groove, heights up to 120 mm in the previous catalogue. Closing profile. Casemaker profile Lid frame with hooking groove Closing profile Corners, edge protection and hinges DM-Cases shows a flat corner, ball corner and edge protector as fittings and angles. The hinge overview adds a fixed and a lift-off hinge. This selection comes from the previous range. Clarify which combination can be considered for your case based on dimensions, material and preferred handling. The original page expressly allows other variations on request. The presentation does not promise current availability or a particular technical suitability. Flat corner. Ball corner. Edge protector. Fixed hinge. Lift-off hinge. Flat corner Ball corner Edge protector Fixed hinge Lift-off hinge Good to know Are fittings other than those shown possible? The original page describes the images as a limited selection and lists other variations on request. Ask directly about your preferred current design. What height is specified for the lid frame? The previous catalogue lists any heights up to 120 mm for the lid frame with hooking groove. The specific profile and dimension are agreed for each project. Is every latch lockable? No. The catalogue expressly identifies individual snap catches as lockable and lists an extra over-latch with a padlock. No corresponding assurance is published for other variants.

Surface options listed are mill finish on both sides, stove-enamelled on one or both sides and other finishes on request. Request a case Speak personally Composite panels: documented thicknesses The following overview reproduces material names and thicknesses from the previous catalogue. It helps prepare your inquiry.

Five thicknesses are listed for the honeycomb core. The composite panel described as sandwich is listed as 4 mm thick in the previous catalogue. The images show material examples, not dimensioned technical drawings. Further values such as weight per area, load capacity or exact material composition are not published in this original overview. If you need these details for planning, raise them before choosing a material. Composite panel cross-section from the original catalogue Honeycomb material cross-section Sandwich material cross-section Putting the historical fire-protection statement in context The page at the time describes the 4 mm sandwich composite panel as “non-combustible”. No test class, certificate or specific standard is given. This historical description is therefore no general fire-protection assurance for a new case.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## Custom flightcase: plan the application before the case | DM-Cases Journal Home / Planning / Custom manufacture Planning / Custom manufacture Custom flightcase: plan the application before the case A flightcase begins with what should happen on the road. Does a device remain on the base during setup? Are accessories removed individually? Must the case fit through a narrow door? Answering these questions before reaching for the tape measure makes an inquiry much more precise. WORKBENCH / PLANNING Three layers of a good inquiry Three layers of a good inquiry A device with attachments sits in a padded case. Goods, interior fit-out and transport route jointly determine planning. DEVICE with attachments Case geometry 01 / GOODS TO TRANSPORT Device, accessories, attachments 02 / INTERIOR FIT-OUT Support, compartments, removal 03 / TRANSPORT ROUTE Doors, vehicle, handling DEVICE SIZE ≠ CASE SIZE DEVICE SIZE ≠ CASE SIZE 01 01 / GOODS TO TRANSPORT Device, accessories, attachments 02 02 / INTERIOR FIT-OUT Support, compartments, removal 03 03 / TRANSPORT ROUTE Doors, vehicle, handling Plan around the actual device: required space results from contents, protection concept and handling together. Include protrusions and fitted accessories in measurements. Interior fit-out and removal need their own space. Record bottlenecks along the entire transport route. Schematic planning aid. Dimensions and design are agreed for the specific application. Define the transport picture Lay out the complete set on a clear surface as it will later travel. This includes more than the main devices. Power supplies, footswitches, brackets, adapters and everyday cables need space too. Photograph this configuration. An online product photograph often shows a different configuration from the one actually used. Then decide which parts belong together. A shared case can improve organisation. Separate cases may be more useful when different people work with different parts. A helpful question is: which unit must someone carry independently from the vehicle to the workstation? This often produces a better division than simply adding equipment volumes. Equipment dimensions are not yet case dimensions Measure the largest actual extent of the goods. Protruding controls, fitted brackets, feet and sensitive connections belong in the sketch. Also mark surfaces that should not take pressure. A camera's intended transport configuration may differ from that of a measuring instrument or small mixing desk. The eventual interior geometry also depends on the protection concept. Foam, dividers and hand recesses need space. Manufacturers such as Zotefoams specify different properties for their foams; this does not yield a universal padding thickness for every device. Agree an appropriate design for weight, support surfaces and application. A blanket allowance on every side does not replace this consideration. Consider the route to the place of use Note the bottlenecks along the entire route: vehicle opening, storage shelf, lift, door and stair landing. A case can fit the device perfectly yet still be awkward in the building. For a wheeled case, floor surfaces, thresholds and parking space also matter. Blickle lists factors including ground conditions, total load and wheel design as selection criteria. The opening also needs a decision. A removable lid must be put somewhere at the destination. A hinged lid needs a suitable swing area. If equipment operates in the case, controls, cables and device-specific ventilation must explicitly form part of planning. A transport enclosure is not automatically a suitable operating enclosure. Details that make an inquiry specific Prepare a short document understandable to someone without prior knowledge. Separate fixed requirements from preferences. This enables focused discussion of the construction solution without losing important details in the first telephone call. Manufacturer and exact model name of every device, ideally with a manual or dimensional drawing. Your own measurements and photographs of the complete transport configuration, including attachments. Weight of the contents and the planned division into individual cases. Transport method, bottlenecks, typical ground surfaces and intended handling. A compartment sketch and details of sensitive surfaces and required removal grips. Whether the device is fully removed from the case for operation. Good to know Is the model name enough for a custom build? It is a good start. Your own attachments and intended transport configuration can change the required geometry. Add photographs and measurements. Should accessories travel with the main device? That depends on the workflow. Plan around the people and application steps that actually need the equipment. Heavy loose parts should not be able to move uncontrolled against sensitive devices.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## Planning a 19-inch rack: U, mounting depth and room for cables | DM-Cases Journal Home / Technical knowledge / Standard racks Technical knowledge / Standard racks Planning a 19-inch rack: U, mounting depth and room for cables Rack units are quickly put on paper. Whether a rack works in practice also depends on depth, weight, connections and airflow. A clear equipment list prevents the surprise of finding that the most important plug no longer fits after installation. WORKBENCH / PLANNING U measures height. Connections need depth. U measures height. Connections need depth. Rack front and side view: rack units organise equipment height. Behind the enclosure, connected cables need additional space. FRONT / U SIDE / USABLE DEPTH 1 U 2 U Reserve Device Cable space Enclosure depth 1 U = 44.45 mm 01 FRONT / U 1 U 2 U Reserve 02 SIDE / USABLE DEPTH Device Enclosure depth Cable space 1 U = 44.45 mm Front format, mounting depth and connected cables are recorded separately. The drawing does not show approved ventilation clearances. 19 inches describes the front mounting format. Measure equipment depth from the intended mounting plane. Plan ventilation and support according to equipment documentation. Schematic planning aid. Dimensions and design are agreed for the specific application. What 19 inches and rack units actually describe 19 inches describes the front mounting format, not the freely usable interior of a case. Equipment height is stated in rack units, abbreviated U or RU internationally; the German abbreviation is HE. One U equals 44.45 millimetres. Actual front-panel height allows for construction clearances and is therefore not simply the available interior height. For an initial list, a table with every device name and its specified U count is enough. Add items such as drawers, connector panels and shelves. An empty area can be deliberately planned, for example for a later addition. Ventilation clearances, however, can only be established from the respective equipment documentation. Maximum depth extends beyond the enclosure For each device, record the depth from the intended mounting plane. Then consider it connected: plugs, strain relief and the necessary cable routing need additional space. Also check controls and handles protruding at the front. A rack case's external depth alone does not reveal the space available between rails, lids and installed parts. A useful planning view shows the deepest device from the side with cables connected. Mark the front mounting rail and areas that must remain clear. If a lid is fitted for transport, include its interior in the drawing. Cables should neither be pinched by the lid nor pressed against connectors by excessively tight routing. Check weight and heat separately A suitable front width says nothing about how a heavy device must be supported. Check the installation instructions for rear support, rails or other required fixings. Document the weight of each installation and consider the rack as a complete unit: devices, enclosure, shelves, cables and accessories all contribute to the total load. For operation, airflow needs planning as specifically as the signal path. Where does a device take air in and release it? An enclosed compartment or adjacent drawer may be poorly positioned for some devices. For rack drawers, Penn Elcom expressly refers to the ventilation requirements of nearby heat-producing devices. An arbitrary ventilation panel alone does not demonstrate sufficient cooling. From diagram to assembled rack Mentally walk through the later setup. Which connections remain permanently plugged in and which are made on site? Must rear panels be reached regularly? Where are the accessories needed to start? Label the planned positions in the drawing so that a substitute operator can also identify the system. A simple example is mobile audio equipment with receivers and an accessory drawer. Adding their U values only gives the initial space allocation. Weight, antenna connections, airflow and rear access are checked afterwards. This example describes a planning method, not a specific DM-Cases reference. Record model, U, mounting depth and weight for each device. Sketch the transport configuration with plugs and cables. Add installation and ventilation requirements from the equipment manuals. Agree access, labelling and accessory space before manufacture. Good to know Does more U automatically mean greater mounting depth? No. Mounting height and usable depth are separate specifications. Both must suit the intended equipment. Can every device be mounted only by its front brackets? That cannot be assumed universally. Weight, construction and the equipment manufacturer's installation requirements are decisive.

Its real task begins beneath the surface: it should support the goods appropriately and allow practical handling. The right concept comes from equipment, weight and application, not only a foam's colour or softness. WORKBENCH / PLANNING A good interior plans for removal A good interior plans for removal Top view of a device in foam. A hand recess aids removal.

GOODS TO TRANSPORT mark sensitive areas Agree support Hand recess Keep protrusion clear FIT + MATERIAL + APPLICATION FIT + MATERIAL + APPLICATION 01 GOODS TO TRANSPORT mark sensitive areas 02 Keep protrusion clear 03 Hand recess 04 Agree support A matching contour alone does not describe a suitable protection concept. Material, support surfaces and use belong together. Mark sensitive controls and connections. Allow space for hands and safe removal. Agree padding for the device and application; do not assume a universal thickness. Schematic planning aid. Dimensions and design are agreed for the specific application. Material names are only the beginning Different foam types are offered for cases, including polyethylene and polyurethane foams. Peli lists PE, ester and antistatic variants for certain inserts, for example. Zotefoams describes Plastazote as closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene foam. This does not establish a general ranking from good to bad. Suitability for the specific task is decisive. Selection includes material properties, contact surfaces and loads in the intended application. Do not merely ask for a foam type; describe the equipment completely: weight, shape, sensitive surfaces and desired transport configuration. An insert for a light controller requires different consideration from support for a heavy technical assembly. Where the equipment rests is decisive Mark stable enclosure surfaces and areas that should remain clear in a sketch. Controls, displays, lenses and connectors are not arbitrary support points. The insert should hold the equipment without unnoticed pressure on a sensitive detail when the lid closes. This requires knowing its actual configuration with attached parts. Also check the removal path. A close-fitting cutout may need hand recesses or another access method. Otherwise, tight support can tempt someone to pull the device out by an unsuitable component. Establish beforehand where hands can grip and whether an item should be removed freely with accessories fitted. Organisation should reflect the workflow Arrange accessories according to use. Items needed together should be easy to access together. Small adapters need a clearly assigned place. A heavy power supply should be housed so that it cannot move loosely against the main devices. A separate tray can be more practical than many tiny cutouts when accessory inventory changes frequently. For example, a small camera set might have separate zones for camera, charger and accessories. Lens changes, battery replacement and the manufacturer's permitted transport configuration must be considered. The specific contour and padding are then agreed around the real set. The sketch aids understanding; it is not yet evidence of tested protection. No universal thickness, no blanket protection claim Thicker does not automatically mean better. Too little room for suitable padding can be problematic; so can unsuitable support. Manufacturer data sheets provide values under stated conditions. These values do not replace assessment of the complete system of contents, insert and case. Special requirements for electrostatic protection, fire behaviour or other properties must be expressly named and evidenced. Keep checking the insert later. If the set has changed, the original contour may no longer be right. New attachments must not simply be pressed against the lid. Loose, torn or dirty areas need inspection. A well-documented insert is easier to adapt to a changed workflow. Photograph all parts in their real transport configuration. Identify weights and pressure-sensitive surfaces. Discuss support points and removal access. Define accessory compartments based on daily use. Explicitly state special material requirements. Good to know Is softer foam always gentler? No. Appropriate support depends on factors including weight, contact surfaces and the complete protection concept. Testing by hand alone is insufficient for selection. Is a black insert automatically antistatic? No. Such properties must be specified for the particular material and appropriate for the application. Colour alone is not evidence.

How equipment is unpacked, allocated and used at the destination is decisive. Structured packing planning therefore starts with the first action on set. WORKBENCH / PLANNING The final stretch matters too The final stretch matters too Five stages from vehicle through loading area, lift and floor to the place of use. The return route is shown as part of the same plan. 01 VEHICLE Opening & load 02 LOADING AREA Access & time slot 03 LIFT Door & cabin 04 ROUTE Threshold & ground 05 APPLICATION Setup & return route THE PLACE OF USE STARTS AT THE VEHICLE DOOR Plan the return transport too THE PLACE OF USE STARTS AT THE VEHICLE DOOR 01 VEHICLE Opening & load 02 LOADING AREA Access & time slot 03 LIFT Door & cabin 04 ROUTE Threshold & ground 05 APPLICATION Setup & return route Plan the return transport too For film and event work in Munich, the actual route inside the building matters. An address alone does not contain this information. Clarify access and loading conditions with the venue. Record the narrowest doors, lifts and changes of floor surface. Define setup sequence and return transport before packing. Schematic planning aid. Dimensions and design are agreed for the specific application. An address is not a transport route For planning, look closely beyond the destination address. Is unloading directly at a loading bay, or must equipment move further? Is the room on the ground floor? Is there a suitable lift, narrow doors or another entrance? These questions are as relevant to a Munich event venue as to a shooting location in Rosenheim or the surrounding area. Record the actual bottlenecks in your inquiry rather than assuming a typical venue. The right division may change if equipment regularly needs carrying up stairs. For a wheeled case, real floor surfaces are an important criterion. One large shared case is not automatically the best solution for every access route. Record camera equipment in its intended configuration With a camera, transporting only the body differs considerably from transporting a particular assembled rig. Document lens, viewfinder, handles, plates and further attachments. The equipment manufacturer's intended handling takes priority. An insert must not be developed from a readily available product photograph if the real set differs. Also photograph the surfaces where the camera can be safely supported. Mark connections and sensitive components. Separate housing for optics and accessories may be useful if they are needed independently of the camera body. With changing configurations, first clarify which combinations occur regularly and which travel only occasionally. Setup sequence instead of a pile of equipment An interview set is an illustrative planning example: different people prepare camera, sound and lighting. This can suggest division by work area. Other productions benefit from complete sets for individual positions. Both are possible organisational models, not claims about a particular DM-Cases project. Assign a clear contents list to each case. When unpacking, it should be clear which accessories belong to which device. The same logic helps identify missing parts during breakdown. Small adapters are particularly easy to lose among larger assemblies. A clearly assigned space is often more useful than another collection bag without a contents overview. Interior, weather changes and return transport A case does not automatically protect against every environmental condition. Without appropriate construction and documented properties, waterproofing should not be assumed. Plan where opening and packing can take place. Temperature changes also matter for sensitive camera equipment: Sony describes possible condensation when moving between cold and warm environments. The specific device instructions remain decisive. Include the return journey. Is packing done in darkness after use? Must damp accessories remain separate? Which parts are checked before loading? A packing list can be copied for recurring uses and supplemented with each location's particulars. This keeps the transport concept understandable even when another crew takes over. Describe destination access and bottlenecks specifically. List the camera, audio and lighting configuration completely. Translate setup and breakdown sequences into useful units. Mark sensitive components and necessary operating access. Include manufacturer instructions on transport, moisture and operation. Good to know Should every film project have a different case? First record recurring configurations. A shared concept may make sense where equipment and workflows fit together. Significantly different sets deserve separate consideration. Which details help with an inquiry from Munich? Alongside equipment data, photographs of the transport configuration, the preferred packing arrangement and actual routes between vehicle and venue are helpful. The city alone does not describe these requirements.

The value of the transport concept often becomes clear only during breakdown. Now equipment, cables and small parts must come back together. A good packing concept stays understandable when the stage needs clearing and nobody wants a long search. WORKBENCH / PLANNING A packing order like a setlist A packing order like a setlist Three cases represent setup, operation and breakdown. Fixed assigned places help identify missing accessories. PACK IN THE ORDER OF THE GIG 01 / SETUP What is needed first 02 / OPERATION What stays at the workstation 03 / BREAKDOWN What comes back together FIXED PLACE → FASTER COMPLETENESS CHECK PACK IN THE ORDER OF THE GIG 01 01 / SETUP What is needed first 02 02 / OPERATION What stays at the workstation 03 03 / BREAKDOWN What comes back together FIXED PLACE → FASTER COMPLETENESS CHECK Group equipment by the people and work steps that need it. A thoughtful sequence helps after a long concert evening too. Keep frequently needed items accessible. Assign small adapters and cables clearly. Return each item to its fixed place during breakdown. Schematic planning aid. Dimensions and design are agreed for the specific application. One case per task can make more sense Start with a list of work areas: guitars, drum accessories, microphones, control equipment or lighting, for example. Add who needs the equipment during setup. A shared accessory case works well only when things are needed in the same place at the same time. Otherwise, the supposedly practical collection point becomes a meeting place for everyone searching. One possible example is a microphone set with its brackets and adapters. The person setting it up can begin independently. Another ensemble may need division by stage position. Choose the structure according to your line-up and workflow. The aim is clear allocation that even a helper unfamiliar with the band's history can understand. Cables, small parts and the eternal adapter question Define which cables permanently belong to a device and which remain in shared inventory. Compartments can be labelled by function or set. What matters is that a cable returns to a clearly designated place after the show. For small parts, removable containers are sometimes clearer than a deep space with everything piled together. Consider the difference between neatly packed contents and quick temporary placement during setup. Where do removed lids go? Do bags and empty inserts remain beside the stage or return to the vehicle? These questions change how cases should open and be used. Space needed on site therefore belongs in the inquiry just as much as equipment dimensions. Equipment needs its own attention Microphones, transmitters and sensitive controllers should not contact heavy loose parts. Appropriate divisions also support organisation. Damp windscreens or sweat-covered microphones need device-specific treatment before storage. Shure's cleaning guidance emphasises drying cleaned components before reassembly. A closed transport box does not replace that step. Mobile racks add connection access and heat. Clarify which lids are removed during operation, where cables run and how equipment manufacturers specify ventilation. A rack intended to be ready quickly must still be installed safely and as intended. This particularly concerns heavy installations and any required additional support. Write breakdown like a setlist A short packing sequence helps more than a long general manual. Start with the condition each device should be in before packing. Follow with accessories, cables and the final check. A ticked list can show whether a set is complete. It does not replace function testing but makes equipment status visible. Include people and routes too. A case easy to move in the rehearsal room may need to cross a step elsewhere. Total weight, handle positions and castor design should suit actual transport. Rock ’n’ roll can be the attitude; everyone should be able to read the packing list. Divide equipment by tasks and responsible people. Assign every accessory a fixed place or container. Treat damp and dirty parts according to manufacturer instructions before storage. Allow for lid storage and work surfaces during setup. Write down the breakdown sequence and completeness check. Good to know Is one large accessory case always more practical? Not necessarily. When different stage areas are set up simultaneously, separate clearly assigned units may make the workflow easier to follow. Can damp audio accessories stay in the case until the next show? The equipment manufacturer's storage instructions are decisive. Cleaned or damp components should not be packed without the prescribed drying.

Their selection, however, is primarily about use. Where do you hold it, where does the lid open, and which fittings take up interior space? This is precisely where attention to detail pays off. WORKBENCH / PLANNING Opening needs clear space Opening needs clear space A schematic swing area lies beside a case top view. Handles and a removable lid place different demands on the available space. TOP VIEW / OPENING AREA Case with contents Lid travel Handle space Alternative: removable lid TOP VIEW / OPENING AREA 01 Case with contents 02 Lid travel 03 Handle space 04 Alternative: removable lid Fittings are planned together with the complete case. A lid needs either a swing area or somewhere to be placed. Match handles to the unit's weight and handling. Consider parts of fittings that extend inside. Allow storage or swing space at the place of use. Schematic planning aid. Dimensions and design are agreed for the specific application. Consider handle positions on the complete case Picture the loaded case, not the empty wooden box. Where is its centre of gravity? How many people should lift it? Must it first be pulled from a shelf or moved over a vehicle edge? A handle in a visually symmetrical position may not suit actual handling. Simple front, side and top views help planning. Draw which sides remain accessible in the vehicle. A handle is of little use if that surface stands tight against a wall. Subsequent fastening and load capacity must suit the complete construction. The capacity of an individual purchased component cannot be transferred unchecked to the finished case. Recessed or surface-mounted: interior space counts too Penn Elcom and Adam Hall offer different handle and latch designs. Recessed fittings sit in mounting dishes, while surface-mounted fittings sit on the surface. Besides the external outline, the cutout, installation depth and connection to profiles matter in selection. A component is therefore more than its visible front. Inside, consider the position of equipment and inserts. A latch housing or handle dish may occupy precisely the space intended for a sensitive attachment. Plan hardware together with the interior fit-out. A handle requested later may change the compartment layout even where ample free space appears to remain outside. A lid needs somewhere to go A removable lid fully clears an area but then needs somewhere to be placed. A hinged lid stays attached and needs room to open. Lid stays and hinges are separate construction components. Adam Hall, for example, shows different stay-hinge designs; the right choice depends on the particular construction. Walk through use at an imagined workstation. Does the case stand under a table or beside other cases? Is equipment removed from above, or does it remain on the base? Can cables be connected freely after opening? Answers to these questions are more informative than a general preference for a particular lid type. Close, identify, check A butterfly latch is not automatically a lock, and a lock is no general security guarantee. If restricted access is needed, discuss the specific design. Requirements for sealing or special tests must not be inferred solely from the familiar flightcase look either. In daily use, check smooth function and correctly seated lids. A latch that suddenly closes only with unusual force calls for inspection. First check whether accessories, foam or a cable are in the way. Damaged or loose fittings should be professionally assessed. Pulling harder is not a repair method. Check handle access in the loaded vehicle and at the place of use. Describe the centre of gravity and intended handling. Coordinate mounting dishes with the interior fit-out. Allow for lid opening and storage space. Explicitly state special access and protection requirements. Good to know Are recessed fittings always the right choice? They are one possible construction. Application, available space, fastening and interior layout are decisive. There is no universal solution. Can a handle be added anywhere later? This should be checked. The mounting substrate, internal components, centre of gravity and possible load must suit the new position.

What comes along with you? A few details are enough to get started. The inquiry assistant helps you collect dimensions, application details and preferences. What goes in your case? Start an inquiry ↗ ## Flightcases on wheels: include the ground in your planning | DM-Cases Journal Home / On the road / Castors On the road / Castors Flightcases on wheels: include the ground in your planning Castors do not automatically turn a heavy case into an effortlessly mobile system. Manoeuvrability also depends on weight, ground, wheel material and arrangement. The real route between storage, vehicle and venue is therefore the most important planning basis. WORKBENCH / PLANNING Castor choice starts with load and route Castor choice starts with load and route The total load consists of the case, equipment and accessories. A second illustration shows a wheeled case and a threshold along the transport route. THE CASE IS ONLY PART OF THE TOTAL LOAD Case Equipment Accessories & installed parts Record total load Threshold Ground & manoeuvring space Check route CASTOR + LOAD + GROUND + HANDLING THE CASE IS ONLY PART OF THE TOTAL LOAD 01 Record total load Case Equipment Accessories & installed parts 02 Check route Threshold Ground & manoeuvring space CASTOR + LOAD + GROUND + HANDLING Simply dividing a load among four castors does not replace selection according to manufacturer specifications and actual application. Weigh or record the complete unit including accessories. Record thresholds, floor surfaces and tight turns. Clarify wheel design and necessary securing for the actual application. Schematic planning aid. Dimensions and design are agreed for the specific application. Survey the entire route once Walk the usual transport route and note its different sections. A smooth storage floor differs from a paved driveway. Door thresholds, ramps and small steps belong in the same description. Photographs help make these conditions understandable in an inquiry. Also record manoeuvring space and bottlenecks. A case must not only roll straight ahead but also turn and be parked. If it goes in a lift, both the door opening and interior matter. Consider the lid configuration: perhaps it travels closed but must open in a tight position. Calculate the complete load The total load includes contents, case, installed parts and accessories. In selection, Blickle distinguishes factors including load capacity, the number of supporting castors and operating conditions. Simply adding the printed individual ratings is therefore insufficient for design. The actual assembly and conditions must be assessed together. If the contents change later, loading can shift too. Document the intended equipment. A heavy extra device later placed in an empty compartment changes not only the load but possibly the centre of gravity. A wheeled case planned appropriately once should not be treated as an endlessly expandable transport platform. Manoeuvrability is a requirement in its own right Swivel castors can align with the direction of travel; fixed castors guide in a fixed direction. The appropriate combination depends on the task. Blickle describes arrangement, castor type and ground as factors affecting manoeuvrability. The question is therefore not only whether castors are fitted but how the case will move. Describe whether routes are mainly straight or involve tight changes of direction. Where is it pushed or pulled, and which grip areas remain accessible? Holding points, brakes and a safe parking position belong in the discussion. The specific design should suit the loaded case and actual conditions. Transport suitability does not end at the vehicle door Castors enable movement on the ground. They are not a universal solution for secure transport inside a vehicle. Likewise, an ordinary case handle should not be used as a lifting attachment point without suitable capability. Securing the load is a separate task and must suit the vehicle, load and intended securing equipment. Before the next use, inspect the castors briefly. Do they turn and swivel as intended? Are there foreign objects around the tread, visible damage or suspect fastenings? If a wheel stops unusually, clarify the cause. Do not simply pull a loaded case harder over an obstacle that already caused problems on the first attempt. State the complete load including case and accessories. Photograph ground types, thresholds and ramps. Measure door openings, lifts and manoeuvring spaces. Discuss pushing and grip positions when loaded. Consider parking, vehicle transport and regular visual inspection. Good to know Can the load capacities of all castors simply be added? That is insufficient for design. Operating conditions, load distribution and the castors actually supporting the load must be considered. Are high-capacity castors suitable for every ground surface? No. Ground, wheel material, resistance and application also affect selection. Describe the real transport route.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## After one tour, before the next: checking and caring for flightcases | DM-Cases Journal Home / Workshop knowledge / Care Workshop knowledge / Care After one tour, before the next: checking and caring for flightcases Signs of use are part of touring life. Loose fittings, a sticking castor or a damaged insert, however, deserve attention. A regular routine after use helps spot these changes before the case is loaded again.

DESCRIBE THE CONDITION AND DISCUSS IT. An empty case is easier to inspect for changes. Damage is described and photographed before planning the next use. Watch for changes across the complete case. Match cleaning to the material and equipment documentation. If damaged, clarify appropriate further use and repair. Schematic planning aid. Dimensions and design are agreed for the specific application. Check it empty before repacking Remove the contents and compare them with the packing list. This reveals missing adapters as well as additional items without a fixed place. Then inspect the empty compartments. Foreign objects, loose screws and cable remnants do not belong beneath sensitive equipment. Examine external surfaces and edges in good light. Is there a new deformation or damaged area? Does the lid still fit normally? A photograph can help a professional assess a change later. Distinguish between a surface mark and a finding that may affect function or fastening. If in doubt, have the area checked. Check fittings and castors for changes Move handles and latches without force. Unusual play, sharp edges, loose fastenings or suddenly stiff operation are reasons to look closer. Do not compensate for a damaged component by gripping harder. For replacement, construction, dimensions and the existing assembly matter; similar-looking hardware is not automatically interchangeable. On wheeled cases, check rolling, swivelling and the intended braking function. Remove accessible loose foreign objects without damaging components. Further maintenance depends on the specific castor design and manufacturer instructions. An arbitrary lubricant is not a universal solution for every bearing or tread material. Interior fit-out and contents need different care Separate case cleaning from equipment cleaning. Sensitive surfaces, foams, adhesives and electronics may have different requirements. Do not use one universal mixture for everything. Equipment manufacturers such as Shure publish precise product instructions and even distinguish individual components. Check inserts for loose areas, tears and changes in contour. Does the device still fit without pressure on protruding parts? Has a new bracket been added? The case must match the current set. An old shape does not fit again merely because the lid is pressed down firmly. Changed equipment should be documented and, if needed, discussed again. Store dry and record condition Before closing, check whether cleaned components have dried fully according to their manufacturers' instructions. With camera equipment, temperature changes can also cause condensation; Sony points out this possibility. Required handling is device-specific. A case lid that appears dry does not establish the condition of all installed or packed devices. A short condition checklist makes inspection repeatable. Record the date, areas of concern and necessary action. Clear identification helps where there are several cases. Keep an affected case out of the normal packing routine until a functionally relevant finding has been clarified. This prevents the unanswered question silently travelling to the next setup. Compare contents with the packing list and empty the compartments. Visually inspect lid fit, edges and fittings. Check castors and brakes for normal function. Compare the interior with the current equipment configuration. Clean and dry according to the appropriate manufacturer instructions. Photograph, identify and clarify anomalies before the next use. Good to know Should all latches be oiled regularly? There is no blanket recommendation. Material, mechanism and manufacturer instructions must be considered. Unusual function should first be checked for its cause. What matters after changing the device? Recheck fit, sensitive contact surfaces, weight and transport configuration. A new device fitting an existing cutout does not establish suitable support.

Case building for Munich: custom flightcases The shoot moves location. The rack goes on tour. The exhibition stand is packed away again. For projects like these in Munich, a suitable flightcase starts with a simple question: how does your equipment actually work? DM-Cases in Kolbermoor is your contact for agreeing a suitable design. Request a case Speak personally The case is part of the workflow A monitor is constantly removed on set. An audio device may need to stay in its rack. A light travels with its bracket, connecting cable and accessories. These differences determine the construction. Knowing only the length, width and height of the equipment therefore describes just part of the task. Handle positions, sensitive controls and the room a hand needs for safe removal also matter. For an inquiry from Munich, a brief description of the entire application is useful: who packs, who unloads, where does the equipment stand during use? DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. The design suited to your project and the features that can be implemented are clarified in discussion. This gives the conversation a specific starting point. Film equipment: define the transport configuration first For a camera, reference monitor or accessory case, the equipment's transport configuration is crucial. Do handles and brackets remain attached? Are lenses packed separately? Does a particular cable always belong with the same device? Photograph the intended transport configuration from several sides and add the actual external dimensions. A data sheet alone often omits parts fitted later. Plan removal at the same time. A compact interior is of little help if a sensitive connector catches while lifting the device out. Related accessories also need clear allocation. For productions with changing crews, a structured packing list can help: equipment, accessories, spares and the items that must return to exactly the same place after use. This planning question is easier to answer before manufacture than on the next shooting day. Munich exhibition and event equipment Munich offers varied event environments. Messe München's official locations include the exhibition centre, ICM, MOC and CCN. These different room types alone show why case planning should consider the actual venue. The specific requirements of the organiser and venue apply to your project. Record them alongside your equipment planning. Clarify in advance how equipment reaches its place of use from the transport vehicle. Are passageways, lifts or ramps part of the route? Will the empty case be stored during the event? Must the lid be completely removable or stay attached? The available floor space behind a stand or beside a control area also belongs in the plan. Record these conditions together with the equipment dimensions. 19-inch racks: depth, connections and operation The number of rack units is only the start. Required depth depends on the equipment, its connections and the planned cable routing. Also describe whether devices stay in the rack during use and which surfaces must remain clear. The equipment manufacturer's ventilation and installation requirements remain decisive. A transport enclosure does not replace them. For your inquiry, prepare an equipment list with model names, mounting depths and individual weights. Add a sketch of the desired arrangement. If another device may be added later, mention this explicitly. Deliberate reserve space is more useful than a randomly oversized interior. Heavy combinations also require consideration of total weight, handle positions and intended handling together. A Munich project, a clear contact in Kolbermoor DM-Cases is located at Hermann-Löns Str. 4 in 83059 Kolbermoor. If you need a flightcase for a project in Munich, discuss your requirements directly with Drago Mikudim. The workshop address and contact details are collected on our contact page. Please arrange any visit with the business in advance. A clear task description, photographs and the key dimensions are enough for first contact. Include when the case is needed. Availability, design and organisational matters are agreed individually; an event date does not establish a promised completion date. Handover or possible shipping are also part of this discussion. Please arrange a visit before travelling with equipment. Details that move your inquiry forward Describe a real work step in detail rather than only a preferred shape. For example: the monitor travels lying down, is removed by two people on site and set up with a separate bracket. This immediately shows which questions need answering. The following list helps you prepare information for your Munich project. Equipment model, photographs and dimensions in the actual transport configuration Weight of contents and accessories to be packed together Removal, handling and, where relevant, operation inside the case Transport vehicle, passageways and available storage space Preferred date and organisational questions about handover Good to know Does DM-Cases have a branch in Munich? The location listed on this website is Kolbermoor near Rosenheim. You can discuss requirements for a Munich project with DM-Cases by telephone or email. Can I inquire about a case for camera or event equipment? Yes. Describe the specific equipment, its dimensions and intended use. DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. The appropriate design is clarified individually. What do I need for a rack inquiry? An equipment list, rack units, mounting depths, weights, photographs of connections and a desired arrangement are helpful. State whether the devices will operate inside the rack.

For projects in Rosenheim, your contact DM-Cases is in neighbouring Kolbermoor. Here, planning starts with your equipment and its actual use. Request a case Speak personally Start with the equipment you have Perhaps an existing rack needs another device added. Perhaps a band needs shared packaging for equipment currently travelling in several bags. Or a measuring instrument has a shape that wastes too much space in a standard case. These tasks are best discussed with clear photographs, checked dimensions and a description of current problems. DM-Cases' original website lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. The solution suited to your equipment is agreed based on requirements. A specific material, special feature or completion date should be expressly agreed. Product photographs illustrate possible constructions; they do not replace technical discussion for different contents. In Rosenheim, the route backstage matters The Kultur+Kongress Zentrum Rosenheim publishes dedicated directions for organisers and a separate stage entrance address. This is a practical example of how visitor routes and equipment routes may differ. The actual loading route is therefore decisive for your case plan. Ask your venue directly for these details for your own project. Ask the venue about passageways, steps and space for empty cases. Then consider what should be carried and what should roll. A narrow design may help at a doorway but require a different interior layout. One large shared case may organise everything but become heavier with all its contents. This trade-off belongs before the decision on external dimensions and features. Band, event equipment or one technical device? For a band, ensuring the complete equipment can be packed again after a performance is often important. For a mobile rack, rear access may matter more. For an individual technical device, sensitive attachments and safe removal may be central. The best description of your task comes from these concrete actions. Try a short test: lay out all the parts that should travel together. Separate what is always needed from what only occasionally comes along. Measure every component including protruding connections and brackets. Note whether cables are disconnected and which parts remain on the device during use. This turns a general case inquiry into a solid basis for discussion. Visits need an appointment DM-Cases' address is Hermann-Löns Str. 4, 83059 Kolbermoor. Please arrange an appointment before visiting from Rosenheim. Also clarify whether bringing the equipment is useful and which documents should already be available. A published contact address does not promise acceptance of unannounced visits or fixed opening hours. Contact DM-Cases on +49 (0) 8031 / 29 94 61 or at info@dm-cases.de. Name the device and task in your first contact. If a case already exists, photographs of it also help. For inquiries about changes or an existing enclosure, the first step is to clarify whether and to what extent the project is possible. Think ahead for regular transport A flightcase is often packed in different conditions from those in which it is later opened. There is space in storage; beside the stage, someone is in the way. A second person helps load; during setup, you are alone. Describe more than the ideal situation. These everyday differences indicate handle positions, lid design, interior layout and sensible sizes for individual packing units. The space needed after unpacking also deserves attention. Where does the lid go? Is there still room for accessories in the vehicle? Can related parts be checked at a glance? Include these questions in your inquiry. DM-Cases can then discuss your preferred design without relying on assumptions about properties or possibilities from a photograph. Good to know Where can I find DM-Cases near Rosenheim? DM-Cases lists Hermann-Löns Str. 4 in 83059 Kolbermoor as its location. Please arrange a visit beforehand by telephone or email. Should I bring my equipment to the discussion? Clarify this before the appointment. Photographs, model name, external dimensions and weight help with the initial inquiry. Whether the equipment is needed on site depends on the project. Can I discuss a single custom case too? Custom builds are among the areas listed on the original website. Describe your individual project; design and feasibility are agreed directly.

For projects in Traunstein and Chiemgau, consider transport, setup and return transport together. DM-Cases in Kolbermoor is your contact for the appropriate case inquiry. Request a case Speak personally A packing list for changing locations When a small sound system, lighting setup or technical accessories are needed in different places, having everything present determines a good start. Lay out all items before inquiring. The main device usually gets attention; power supplies, brackets and adapters are easier to overlook. A shared list prevents the interior layout from being planned only around the largest device. State which parts stay together and which are used independently. This raises the question of whether one shared case or several more manageable units make sense. The design is discussed based on your specific project. A small footprint alone says little about how easy the packed case is to carry. From vehicle to setup location In the Traunstein district, k1 in Traunreut illustrates how varied events can be: the venue lists concerts, theatre, talks and conferences among its uses. For your own project, ask about the actual routes and requirements of the venue. Setup and transport requirements may differ by room and use. Record whether the equipment travels in a car, trailer or van. Measure relevant loading openings yourself. Handles, fittings and any castors are part of the external dimensions. Also consider the situation after unpacking: a removed lid needs space too. These details help you discuss a realistic format. What you can send DM-Cases DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. Send photographs of the complete setup, dimensions and weight of the contents, plus a brief setup description. For an existing case, interior layout photographs are helpful. Describe specifically what causes problems during current transport. The business is based at Hermann-Löns Str. 4 in Kolbermoor. Initial requirements for your Traunstein project can be discussed by telephone or email. Feasibility, timing and handover organisation are clarified individually. Please arrange an appointment before visiting. Good to know Why is the accessory list important for a mobile setup? It shows which items travel together and how completeness can be checked when packing. Dimensions and weight should cover the entire intended transport set. Is there a location in Traunstein?

DM-Cases is based in Kolbermoor, Germany. Clarify directly with the business whether a suitable design is possible for your project. Request a case Speak personally The contents need a shared description Clear documentation helps discussion from Salzburg: equipment lists, photographs, external dimensions and weights. Name each measurement direction and record whether brackets or connectors remain fitted during transport. A sketch using the same labels in text and image avoids questions about seemingly obvious terms such as front or height. Separate the transport configuration from the working configuration. If the device is lifted out of the case, space for hands matters. If it stays inside, operation, connections and the equipment manufacturer's requirements must be clarified. Specific construction and possible features form part of the individual discussion. Consider venue and loading route together Messezentrum Salzburg describes the Salzburgarena on its site as a venue for concerts, show productions, conferences and other events. Such varied formats involve different technical workflows. Obtain the conditions for your setup directly from the organiser or venue. The specific conditions count for your project: how does equipment reach the setup location? Where can cases stand during use? Which parts need to be readily available from the first setup step? Ask the venue for current requirements. A suitable case format should respond to these details and also fit the available transport vehicle. Clarify organisation before the appointment DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. Include the preferred date of use with your inquiry from Salzburg. Handover, possible shipping and the ordering process belong in the personal discussion. Mentioning Salzburg does not establish a general promise of specific logistics. The address is Hermann-Löns Str. 4, 83059 Kolbermoor. Arrange a visit in advance and clarify whether the original equipment is needed. For cross-border invoicing or shipping questions, obtain the specific information for your order directly from the business. This page makes no general commitments on those matters.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## Flightcases for projects in Passau | DM-Cases Home / Passau / The packing order matters Passau / The packing order matters Flightcases for projects in Passau What is set up first should be accessible when unpacking. For a project in Passau, it is therefore worth looking at the sequence of work steps. Discuss your flightcase requirements with DM-Cases in Kolbermoor. Request a case Speak personally Plan backwards from setup Note the first actions at the place of use. Is a bracket fitted first, then a monitor installed and finally wired? Or should a fully equipped rack simply be positioned and connected? The answers show which parts belong together and which interior layout might support the workflow. Examine the return journey just as carefully. After an event, there is often less room for packing than during setup. Clear allocation of accessories makes checking easier. Photographs of the complete contents laid out are helpful for the inquiry. Add dimensions, weight and a brief workflow instead of just one product photograph. Passau venues as a planning prompt The City of Passau's event management lists venues including the Dreiländerhalle and X-Point-Halle. For equipment used at different locations, each project's actual room layout and access matter. Ask the organiser directly for current technical information before deciding your packing dimensions. Ask about the loading route, passage widths and designated storage space for transport packaging. State whether equipment must be carried over thresholds or steps. If castors are wanted, the ground surface also needs discussing. A wheeled case does not replace checking whether its format fits the access route and transport vehicle. Discussion with Kolbermoor According to its original website, DM-Cases offers audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. For an inquiry from Passau, describe the actual use and preferred dates. Design and feasibility are discussed individually. This page makes no blanket promises about installation, completion or transport. The business is based at Hermann-Löns Str. 4 in 83059 Kolbermoor. First contact by telephone or email can clarify which further documents your project requires. If the original equipment matters for the discussion, arrange this before visiting. Handover or possible shipping also belong in the conversation. Good to know What matters particularly for a case used in frequent setups? Describe the packing and setup sequence.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## Flightcases for Nuremberg: equipment and exhibitions | DM-Cases Home / Nuremberg / Planning for the next application too Nuremberg / Planning for the next application too Flightcases for Nuremberg: equipment and exhibitions An exhibition lasts a few days. Ideally, the case is planned for the next project too. If you want to package equipment for Nuremberg, describe transport, accessories and reuse together. DM-Cases can be reached in Kolbermoor. Request a case Speak personally Record presentation equipment as a complete set A screen rarely travels alone. Its stand, playback device, remote control and connecting cables often come along. A demonstration unit may also need tools or interchangeable parts. Prepare a complete contents list and mark sensitive areas. A custom case begins with this inventory. Describe which devices will stay the same for the next application and where replacement is foreseeable. Whether a particular layout or reserve space is useful and achievable must be discussed. An oversized interior does not automatically answer that question. Nor should a sensitive part be held in place only by adjacent accessories. Exhibition site and workflow NürnbergMesse describes exhibition halls and three NürnbergConvention Centers on its site. It also notes the separation of delivery and visitor traffic. For your project, establish the actual delivery conditions and route to the place of use. Your event documents provide the key access and scheduling information. Clarify whether empty cases remain accessible during the event or are stored elsewhere. If accessories are still needed after setup, they should not be stored out of reach. Also consider retrieving individual devices: must the entire contents be removed each time, or can workflows be organised differently? Questions like these belong in the requirements description. Preparing an inquiry from Nuremberg DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. For discussion, send model names, photographs, equipment dimensions and weights. Add the intended use and preferred schedule. Binding technical details and dates are clarified for each project. The workshop address is in Kolbermoor near Rosenheim. Telephone and email allow an initial exchange of requirements even before a personal meeting is planned. Whether a meeting, the original equipment or further documents are needed can then be clarified. Handover and possible shipping are agreed separately. Good to know Can a case inquiry start before the final equipment selection? You can describe the task first. For a specific design, the relevant equipment, dimensions, weights and transport configuration must subsequently be clearly established. Where is DM-Cases located? DM-Cases lists Hermann-Löns Str. 4 in 83059 Kolbermoor as its location. For a Nuremberg project, discussion begins by telephone or email.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## Flightcases for projects in Augsburg | DM-Cases Home / Augsburg / Fits inside, practical outside Augsburg / Fits inside, practical outside Flightcases for projects in Augsburg A device may fit perfectly inside a case while the finished case is still too large to transport. For a project in Augsburg, the interior and exterior format should therefore be planned together. DM-Cases in Kolbermoor welcomes your specific inquiry. Request a case Speak personally Two sets of dimensions instead of one The first set describes the contents: equipment, protruding components, accessories and space for removal. The second describes the surroundings: loading opening, space in the vehicle, passageways and storage space. Both must be documented clearly for a case inquiry. Fittings, handles and any castors are part of the actual external dimensions. Measure the equipment in the configuration in which it will be packed. Are brackets permanently attached or transported separately? Does a cable need to remain connected? Photograph these details. For an irregularly shaped object, a simple sketch may be more useful than three numbers alone. Clearly identify the front, top and sensitive areas. Presentation with all accessories Messe Augsburg provides an event calendar for its site. If you use equipment there or at another Augsburg venue, check the current conditions of the specific organiser. In particular, ask about equipment access, storage and breakdown after the event. For a presentation, a packing test with everything needed on site is worthwhile. A connecting cable may be absent from the main equipment photograph but essential for setup. Assign accessories to their devices and describe which parts should remain independently accessible. If an empty case is stored during the event, establish beforehand what might still be needed from it. Clarify technical questions directly DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds. The design and features suited to your project are discussed with you. This includes weight, handling and whether the equipment is fully removed during operation. Specific properties result from the agreed design. DM-Cases can be contacted by telephone or email for inquiries from Augsburg. The business is based at Hermann-Löns Str. 4 in 83059 Kolbermoor. State your preferred date and arrange a discussion or handover directly. You can include photographs and a brief project description with your first inquiry. Good to know Which dimensions are needed for a case? The dimensions of the contents in their intended transport configuration are needed. Requirements for removal, accessories and the maximum possible external dimensions in the vehicle or at the place of use also matter. Can I send photographs for an initial discussion? Photographs with checked dimensions, weight and a description of the application provide a useful basis. Whether more documents or the original equipment are needed is clarified afterwards.

Start an inquiry ↗ ## Flightcases for Stuttgart: project inquiry | DM-Cases Home / Stuttgart / Precise documents, clear discussion Stuttgart / Precise documents, clear discussion Flightcases for Stuttgart: project inquiry For a case inquiry from Stuttgart, the task needs to be clear without an initial workshop visit. A well-described demonstration device, rack plan or complete accessory list provides the basis. Your contact is DM-Cases in Kolbermoor. Request a case Speak personally The technical brief matters Start with the equipment's transport configuration. A presentation system may look different in use from when packed. Describe which components are removed, which stay connected and where the contents may be supported. Photographs with marked reference points help assign dimensions and requirements clearly. Add weights and intended case handling. Contents can create a strongly off-centre load during removal. Sensitive surfaces and protruding controls also need clear descriptions. The specific support, padding or construction that makes sense belongs in the technical discussion and cannot be inferred from the device name alone. Think beyond exhibition and demonstration equipment Messe Stuttgart lists exhibition halls and the ICS Internationales Congresscenter Stuttgart on its site. For equipment used at such an event or elsewhere, the specific operator conditions must be checked. Include the organiser's documents in your technical planning in good time. Describe what happens to the packaging during use. Is the device fully removed? Do accessories need to stay accessible during a demonstration? Does the case then stand in a storage area? The answers affect the preferred lid design, interior layout and format. Electrical devices also remain subject to their manufacturer's installation and operating requirements. From project documents to discussion DM-Cases lists audio and lighting cases, standard racks and custom builds as its product areas. An inquiry from Stuttgart should include model names, dimensions, weight, photographs and intended use. For a rack, add mounting depths, connection side and planned equipment arrangement. Include your timeframe too. DM-Cases is based in Kolbermoor near Rosenheim. Initial discussion can take place by telephone and email using your documents. Whether your project can be realised technically and within the timeframe is discussed directly. Handover, shipping and further organisational details form part of this discussion. Good to know How detailed should an inquiry from Stuttgart be? Photographs, clear dimensions, weights and a description of transport and use help an initial assessment. A sketch should use the same labels as your equipment list. Does this page offer a fixed delivery service to Stuttgart? No. Organisation and possible shipping are clarified directly with DM-Cases in Kolbermoor for each inquiry.

Your equipment may be intended for Munich, Chiemgau or somewhere entirely different. The regional planning notes help you prepare your inquiry to DM-Cases. Request a case Speak personally Munich in focus, Rosenheim next door For Munich projects, our topic page focuses on film equipment, event equipment and rack planning. The Rosenheim page considers recurring transport and preparing a personal discussion with the workshop in neighbouring Kolbermoor. Both routes start with a concrete task and actual equipment dimensions. The location remains the same on every page: DM-Cases, Drago Mikudim, Hermann-Löns Str. 4, 83059 Kolbermoor. Please arrange a visit in advance. By telephone or email, first clarify which details, photographs or equipment are needed for further discussion. More places, different questions For Traunstein, we consider compact mobile setups and complete packing lists. Salzburg adds questions about organising a cross-border inquiry. Passau focuses on packing order and setup; Nuremberg on recurring presentation use. Augsburg covers matching interior and exterior dimensions, Stuttgart the technical brief for an individual project. These local pages do not claim additional branches, fixed delivery routes or relationships with the example venues mentioned. They collect planning guidance for different situations. Clarify directly with DM-Cases whether a particular design, date and handover are possible for your project. Regardless of location: this information matters Name the equipment, its dimensions in transport configuration and its weight. Describe setup, sensitive areas and accessories that should travel together. Add photographs and your preferred date. This provides a basis for discussing audio and lighting cases, standard racks or a custom build in concrete terms. Good to know Where is the actual location? DM-Cases lists Hermann-Löns Str. 4 in 83059 Kolbermoor as its address. This website makes no claims of further branches. Does mentioning a city promise delivery there? No. The local pages provide project planning guidance. Feasibility, timing and organisation are agreed directly for every inquiry.

DM-Cases / Information. Accessibility & operation Information about the DM-Cases website. Using this website This website has a semantic page structure, a skip link to the main content, visible keyboard focus and labelled input fields. Content and contact options remain available without the spatial effects. The inquiry can be completed using a keyboard and without drag-and-drop. Reading and motion settings The “Aa” button opens settings for larger text, higher contrast and turning off movement. The system preference for reduced motion is respected. These settings supplement the technical design; they do not replace accessible implementation. Alternatives to interactive functions The packing trial offers numeric position fields and labelled directional buttons alongside mouse and touch control. The inquiry can be copied or saved as text. Without JavaScript, telephone and email are available as direct contact options. Known limitations Some historical product photographs have low resolution. Labels embedded in the original images are not consistently available as text; the relevant content is therefore also described in the page text. The packing trial simplifies items into rectangles and is not a complete technical drawing. This information describes the current implementation. It does not claim independent certification or full conformity with a particular testing standard. Feedback If you encounter a barrier, please report the relevant page and function to info@dm-cases.de or call 08031 / 29 94 61. Drago Mikudim will help you discuss your request in a suitable way.
