Pouches

We make a large range of pouches to carry specific makes and models of common duty equipment. If we don't have one to suit your needs, we can custom design and make them, even at low volumes.

With the exception of models where a soft case is advantageous, our pouches are heavy duty, stiff, foam-core pouches which keep your equipment safe.

Labels can be sewn on to the garment or attached by hook and loop.
