The design team really cares about getting each detail exactly how I wanted it for my custom foam insert. I would recommend Pak-Rite Michigan to everyone I know!

I bought a single rifle case from the Storm series for my new Tikka. I got an email that stated my UPS number wasn't right. But there was no other options to pick from when placing the order. When all was said and done it looked like shipping was free according to the confirmation page. So i called and Pak Rite and they stated shipping was $80. I would have NEVER paid that if i knew, and would have gotten this case elsewhere. But now I was looking at a 20% restock fee, but of course the product never left the shelf so that kinda sucks. The girl on the phone said the website commonly makes mistakes

This company is well organized and knowledgeable about the products they manufacture and represent. Pelican should be proud. I contracted Pak-Rite to fabricate a custom foam insert for a shotgun in a Pelican case. I travel to Canada to hunt have had issues with other case designs which did not adequately secure the weapon. They were very helpful and made great suggestions on the design of the insert. I recommend Pak-Rite highly.

While working at B&W North America, we worked with Pak-Rite all the time for our custom foam needs for our cases and our customers cases. The foam inserts are of the highest quality and their new Excelotrast foam is fantastic (I never seen anything quite like it)! I would recommend that for any custom foam, Pelican Case needs, or custom crating that you place a call to these guys!

I had a need for a specialized case to haul my gear around the country. The sales staff steered me to a case that was the best fit for me and then quoted me an offer I couldn't refuse. Highly recommended!
