Where do y’all get cases for your builds. I’ve looked on EBay and Amazon. I was wondering if there might be a company that would put my brand on the cases?

Any help greatly appreciated

That amount is significantly different from the prices listed on their website. Is there a discount of some sort?

I've bought from music123.com a few times. $85 or so. Nice sturdy cases with soft fuzzy lining.

I use Access guitar cases and Kala uke cases.On the Access cases I pay more for the shipping to Hawaii than I pay for the case! The laser is an excellent tool for making cheap case labels. I take a sheet of pre-finished 4mm thick wood to the local laser guy and he cuts out my case medallions for about $1.00 each. I unscrew and pop off the stock metal case medallion, drill 2 holes through my wood labels, apply a dab of epoxy to the back of them, and use a couple of nice short beveled screws to put them on the cases. The laser blackens the edge of the wood and you can sand that off or leave it. I like the contrast to the wood, so I leave it blackened. There was no design time or cost involved. The ovals and font were easily found on the computer at the laser facility.

I'll bet you don't need a local laser guy. You can probably find someone on the web, or maybe here on this forum, and this could easily be done by mail. It's not rocket science for a laser operator. Next time I have it done, I'll also have him mark the spot to drill the screw holes. Not really a problem, but would be nice. Not that you would want to do what I do, but feel free to use it as an example if you need a photo to start the conversation.--Bob

For case labels, if you have a cheap laser cutter (K40 is good if you're limited on budget) you can make them out of wood or even get some anodized aluminum (send it out or learn to do it yourself) you can laser engrave that too.
