Mount electronics, instruments, and more in a Nanuk case with our custom Nanuk case panels. We offer two options for this process.
The first is through our online Custom Plate Creator.
The Plate Creator allows panels to be previewed, quoted, and immediately ordered online.
If you have a more specific design in mind, or need something our Plate Creator can't do, see below for details on submitting a custom design. These panels will also fit Gator TiTan series cases.
If your project is more complex, start by downloading a PDF drawing below. These can be used to develop a drawing. Then just

DataPro offers a number of finishing and marking options, as well as accessories.
Marking & Labeling:
Logo Marking
We can convert, optimize, and laser mark your logo for sharp, professional branding.
Laser Marking
For clean lines and maximum precision, laser marking is the perfect solution.
Take a look at our Laser Marking Sample Gallery
Engraving
This durable marking method looks great on any material with a contrasting surface treatment such as anodized aluminum or layered acrylic. For more information, see our Rotary vs Laser Engraving article.
Finishing:
Anodizing
While pre-anodized aluminum is available, we can also anodize your panels post-cutting to provide a full-coverage durable finish.
Powder Coating
Protect your panel with a high-quality powder coat applied as a final step.
Painting
Get creative with painted finishes! Available in a range of colors and textures.
Accessories:
Press-Fit Fasteners
Mount PCBs, attach mounting hardware, and more with press-fit fasteners built into your panel. Concealed-head and flush-head available. Flush-mount nuts available on panels 0.090" and thicker. Perfect for adding windows and vents too!
Captive Fasteners
Perfect for frequently-removed panels and components. These fasteners stay attached to the panel even when loosened, preventing loss or damage to equipment.
Switch Guards & Hardware
We carry switch guards, panel handles, fasteners, and more. Check out our Accessories & Hardware section, or contact us if you have something specific in mind.
Interior Sub-Panels
Add an interior sub-panel to hold electronics or parts, and help organize your case.
Note: Case modification can compromise waterproofing, and will void the manufacturer's lifetime warranty. For more information see our Case Services page.
Side Cutouts
Make your case usable even when closed with cutouts on the sides of the case.
Inlets & Side Panels
DataPro can produce nearly any kind of internal or external structure you may need to mount ports and electronics, including inlet boxes, internal partitions, and hinged panels.
We stock a variety of common materials in multiple colors and thicknesses, but can source nearly anything with a very short turnaround. If you don't see what you're looking for here, just contact us.

A popular and durable material, that machines well and has high resistance to corrosion. While this high-strength aluminum isn't recommended for bending, it is heat-treatable and lightweight. Anodizing is MIL-A-8625, Type II, Class 1.
5005 Anodized Aluminum - Clear or Black
The material we use for our stock case panels. Anodizing is MIL-A-8625, Type II, Class 1.
