How much space should I leave around equipment in a hard case?

You should leave enough space for foam to support the equipment and separate it from the case walls and other items. Evolution Gear can help plan hard case layouts that avoid loose packing and avoid forcing equipment into tight spaces.

What to consider

• Spacing depends on the weight and shape of the equipment, the foam material and the type of handling expected.
• Too little spacing can make the insert weak or hard to use.
• Too much unused space can make the case larger and heavier than necessary.
