Why a C&N Footlocker

Why should you choose a C&N footlocker over all the others?

Well, first off you shouldn't.

How you intend to use your footlocker should determine what footlocker you purchase. For instance, if you simply need to store a wedding dress in your attic a department store variety would probably do the job. These are some-what fancy storage boxes usually constructed of thin chipboard covered in thin vinyl.

One quick tip: Even with the "cheap type" trunk, be sure to choose one with a fully lined interior as the chip board plywood will continue to "gas" or dry out and that bad odor will be absorbed by your stored clothes.

If you are a very frequent airline traveler or need to ship, for example, electronic equipment via UPS or Fed Ex on a consistent basis then you need an ATA (Airline Transportation Approved) case. These are true shipping cases made of fiberglass with recessed handles and extremely durable hardware. The interiors are usually foam lined. Bands ship their musical equipment in ATA cases. These are very rugged and very expensive.

However
If you are sending your Son or Daughter off to camp or college,
if you are in the service and being deployed where you'll need to "live" out of your footlocker for months at a time, or if you need a rugged case to keep valuable equipment safe while shipping periodically, then we have a perfect Footlocker for you.

Now I can answer the question:
Why a C&N Footlocker?

To begin with, in a word: steel. Our trunks are completely encased in baked enameled steel sheeting. They are not dent or scratch proof, but just try and kick or punch through the sides or top. Our sales manager is a big man (some might say portly) and at trade shows he stands all day on top of our footlockers. It makes quite an impression. You cannot stand on most vinyl trunks.

There are so many reasons to buy a C&N Footlocker we thought you might like a quick chart showing what you get with our products and what you get with the other steel trunk guys. We have tried to be as honest as possible and truly show you what a few extra dollars buys you. It's a sticky situation showing and discussing the competition but as long as we are honest and forthright our customers will appreciate the comparison.
