ATA-300 Category-1 Shipping Cases Custom Engineered for Your Needs.
The ATA-300 classification was initially developed by the Air Transport Association (now Airlines for America, A4A), ATA Spec 300 specifies comprehensive guidelines for packaging airline supplies. ATA 300 categorizes packaging into three levels: categories I, II and III. Each Category has specific requirements and guidelines.
ATA-300 Category-I Cases are designed for high durability and are reusable for at least 100 round trips. These containers are typically constructed with high-strength materials.
Wilson Case uses only top quality raw materials and hardware to manufacture tough shipping cases that are able to be used again and again. Strict quality control guidelines are followed throughout the production and inspection phases. Custom shipping case design is 95% of our business. We also offer a variety of stock shipping cases in our online store.
