A road case, ATA case, or flight case is a shipping container specifically designed to protect musical instruments, motion picture equipment, audio and lighting production equipment, props, firearms, or other sensitive equipment that must be frequently moved between locations by ground or air. Many varying-sized road cases can be built to outfit the needs of an entire concert tour, or custom designed individually for a specific industry or product. The term road case is mostly used in the United States and implies that the case is primarily for road-based travel, unlike a flight case. The term originates from its use for storing and shipping band equipment while the musicians were on the road. Today, the term road case and flight case are generally interchangeable. In different countries the same transport protective case may be called either a road case, or a flight case. For example, in the USA and Australia the term road case is often used, while in the UK and most European countries the term flight case is used.
