Subject: New Affordable Storage Solution (Shield Bag)
We are happy to introduce the latest addition to the Battle Foam family. The SHIELD BAG is our first bag designed for the gamer on a budget.
We understand that not everyone can afford the P.A.C.K. System bags or custom foam. We also understand that many of you have GW hard cases filling up your basements and garages.
Those are the main reasons we have launched the SHIELD BAG. Now even gamers on a budget can take advantage of the LIFE TIME WARRANTY on foam that only Battle Foam provides and a 1 year limited warranty on the bag.
Check out the pics and details below of this cool new bag.

In no way are we affiliated with games workshop, the plastic figure case, or games workshop foam trays. GW measurements are for size comparison only. Battle Foam is in no way partnered or produces bags for games workshop.
Will be useful for Battle Foaming my smaller armies that lack even GW cases.
Was this planned all along when you released the GW sized trays or did this just come to you one day to utilize the GW size in your own product?

Platuan4th - As you know Battle Foam trys to listen to its customer the best we can. We have been asked for years to produce a more affordable option for people on a budget. The GW size along with the lower price made sense to allow gamers with money already invested in old cases to still be part of the Battle Foam family without breaking the bank.
Keep in mind that we have projects booked at least 6 to 10 months in advanced. This means that ideas we get today get released months from now.
Kitch102 - I'm not sure if your whole army will fit inside this style of bag. I know as a DE player my army requires a P.A.C.K. 720 if I don't run 5 raiders. If I do I have to attach my P.A.C.K. Plus to the bottom to hold my transports. The DE army is a weird bird because of the troop transports being so tall.

THIS is what Battlefoam needed. Thank you so much for appealing to customers that enjoy non-awkward-sized trays.
If you make a 7.5"L x 13"W bag (or one that can store such sized foam) in the future, you'll ensure my patronage at least.

Am I missing something?
Battlefoam uses noticeably stronger materials in their bags. Plus, there's a multitude of pockets. You pay more for better quality. Additionally, Sabol trays are smaller than GW-sized trays. This Battlefoam bag carries more stuff.
Again, if Battlefoam makes a 7.5"x13" bag, I'm in.

Well played, Romeo! That thing is going to sell like hot cakes.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, and as others have said. Battlefoam trays hold a lot more models, and the foam is a lot denser, and therefore stronger.

Yeah, This might be a bag I actually consider, especially for my fantasy stuff since 9" can get me nearl 320 standard models which will be awesome. I'm actually going to have to sit down one day with all my models, make trays, and order a ton of the specific trays I need so I can finally get rid of the stack of 17 or so GW hardcases in my closet.

This is great. I may pick one up cause the latches on the gw hardcases are way too fragile.. But first my pennies are getting saved for a 1520 for my stupid DE and their stupid akward(but beautiful) transports

This product isn't for me, I have a ton of the existing Batlefoam stuff and don't want another size of tray to have to juggle. It is however a very nice product. Can't recommend Battlefoam enough.
