Soft-Sided Case Manufacturing at Fieldtex
Soft-sided cases made at Fieldtex are designed for real use. Every case is produced to approved specifications and validated construction methods, ensuring consistent fit, strength, and protection across production runs.
Our team manufactures soft-sided cases for instruments, equipment, and sensitive components that require impact resistance, controlled padding, secure closures, and dependable hardware integration. Many projects involve layered materials, reinforced panels, custom foam layouts, and attachment points that must perform under repeated handling.
Production takes place in an 86,000-square-foot facility supported by more than 125 skilled operators. This scale allows us to support early production programs as well as ongoing builds without changing process controls or quality expectations as volume increases.

Our Soft-Sided Case Manufacturing Process
Fieldtex follows a controlled, in-house build process designed to keep results consistent from the first unit to the last. Each step connects directly to the next, which helps maintain accuracy, traceability, and repeatable quality across every production run.
Material Preparation & Cutting
Work begins by verifying and preparing approved materials before any cutting takes place. Fabrics, foams, webbings, and components are measured and cut to exact specifications using controlled methods that support accuracy and repeat production.
- Automated and manual cutting methods
- Pattern nesting to manage material use
- Part kitting to support smooth sewing flow
- Batch tracking for traceability
Sewing & Assembly
Prepared parts move through assigned sewing stations where operators assemble each case using industrial-grade machines. Build steps are clearly defined so stitch patterns, seam placement, and reinforcement points stay consistent across every unit.
- Juki and Consew industrial sewing machines
- Walking-foot machines for layered materials
- 301, 401, and 504 stitch configurations
- Reinforced seams at load and stress points
Quality Control & Inspection
Quality checks are built into production and completed again before shipment. Finished cases are reviewed to confirm construction accuracy, visual standards, and performance match approved requirements.
- ISO 9001:2015 quality system
- ISO 13485:2016 medical compliance
- FDA registered facility (3010164139)
- In-process and final inspections
