What Makes NANUK Cases Different?

NANUK cases are engineered in Canada and built to exceed military specifications. Here is what sets them apart from other protective case brands:

1. NK-7 Resin: A proprietary lightweight resin that delivers impact resistance comparable to much heavier materials. It does not crack in extreme cold the way some competing materials can.

2. PowerClaw Latches: A patented triple-action latching system that locks securely and opens smoothly with one hand. Unlike press-and-pull latches, PowerClaw latches are designed to stay closed under heavy impacts and vibration.

3. IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof: Every Nanuk case is fully sealed against water submersion (1 meter for 30 minutes) and fine particulate dust.

4. Integrated Lid Organizer: Select Nanuk models include a built-in lid organizer panel for documents, cables, memory cards, and small accessories, a feature not available on most competing hard case brands.

5. Lifetime Warranty: NANUK cases are backed by a lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Custom Foam for NANUK Cases

Foamerica offers custom CNC-cut foam inserts for any NANUK case model. Whether you need a precision layout for camera equipment, medical instruments, or industrial tools, we design and cut foam to your exact specifications. Most Nanuk cases also ship with pick-and-pluck foam that you can customize by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions About NANUK Cases

Are NANUK cases waterproof?

Yes. All NANUK cases are rated IP67, meaning they are completely dustproof and can withstand submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. The seal is maintained by an integrated O-ring gasket.

How do NANUK cases compare to Pelican?

Both brands offer crushproof, IP67 waterproof protection with lifetime warranties. NANUK cases use NK-7 resin which is often lighter than equivalent Pelican models, and feature PowerClaw triple-action latches. Select NANUK models include integrated lid organizers. Pelican offers a wider range of sizes and has built-in padlock hasps on its Protector line.

Can I get custom foam for a NANUK case?

Yes. Foamerica offers CNC-cut custom foam inserts for any NANUK case model. Send us your case model and equipment list for a custom quote. Most NANUK cases also come with pick-and-pluck foam for DIY customization.

What is the NANUK PowerClaw latch system?

PowerClaw is a patented triple-action latching system exclusive to NANUK cases. It provides a more secure closure than standard press-and-pull or snap latches, and it can be operated smoothly with one hand.

Where are NANUK cases made?

NANUK cases are engineered and designed in Canada. The NK-7 resin used in their construction is a proprietary material developed by the NANUK parent company, Plasticase Inc.

Does Foamerica sell NANUK accessories?

Yes. We carry NANUK accessories including lid organizers, padded dividers, and replacement foam. Browse the collection above to see all available Nanuk products and accessories.

Are NANUK cases TSA-approved or allowed on airplanes?

There is no official 'TSA-approved' certification for hard cases, but NANUK cases are airline-friendly. Smaller models (the NANUK 909-920 range) meet most carry-on size limits, and every model accepts TSA-recognized padlocks for checked baggage. Add custom-cut foam so your gear stays locked in place through baggage handling.

Can I get custom or replacement foam for my NANUK case?

Yes. Foamerica CNC-cuts custom foam inserts for every NANUK model - send us your equipment dimensions or a layout and we cut foam to fit exactly. We also stock pick-and-pluck and replacement foam for popular models like the NANUK 935, 945, and 963. Don't see your model? Contact us for a custom quote.

NANUK vs Pelican - which case should I buy?

Both are waterproof, crushproof, and professional-grade. Choose NANUK for lighter NK-7 resin, one-handed PowerClaw latches, and integrated lid organizers; choose Pelican for the widest size range and the largest accessory ecosystem. Foamerica cuts custom foam for both, so your decision can come down to size, latch preference, and budget rather than foam availability.
