Jelco JEL-DA100 – ATA Shipping Case for 100" Da-Lite Insta-Theater Screen

Product Overview

The Jelco JEL-DA100 is an ATA-300 standard shipping case designed specifically for the Da-Lite 100" Insta-Theater portable projection screen. It provides commercial-grade freight protection for the screen and its components during transport between venues, storage, and shipping via common carrier. The gray exterior with chrome hardware pairs with a custom foam-lined interior matched to the Da-Lite Insta-Theater form factor. This is the preferred transport solution for AV rental companies and event staging teams that own Da-Lite Insta-Theater screens.

Product Description

The JEL-DA100 addresses the specific need to safely transport a 100" Da-Lite Insta-Theater projection screen without relying on original packaging or improvised solutions. The gray ABS exterior with chrome hardware is constructed to ATA-300 standard, providing structural protection for the screen assembly during commercial freight and multi-leg transport. Custom foam lining is configured to fit the specific contours of the Da-Lite Insta-Theater 100" model, preventing movement and contact damage during handling and shipping. The case is designed to protect the screen's legs, frame components, and fabric from freight impacts that commonly damage portable screens shipped without dedicated protection. AV rental companies and staging organizations that repeatedly transport large portable screens benefit from the consistent protection and professional appearance this case provides. The JEL-DA100 is an in-line product with standard lead time applicable to Jelco's stocking schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this case fit Da-Lite Insta-Theater screens other than 100"?

A: No. The JEL-DA100 is specifically configured for the 100" Da-Lite Insta-Theater. For other screen sizes, see the JEL-DA80 (80") and JEL-DA60 (60").

Q: Does the case protect all components of the Insta-Theater screen?

A: Yes. The foam interior is configured to accommodate the screen fabric, frame assembly, and legs as a single packaged unit, preventing contact and movement damage during transport.

Q: Is this case suitable for air freight?

A: The case is built to ATA-300 standard, which is recognized by commercial freight carriers. Confirm documentation requirements with your specific carrier for air shipment.

Q: Can I use this case for other portable screen brands?

A: The JEL-DA100 foam is configured specifically for the Da-Lite Insta-Theater 100" model. It will not reliably protect screens of different dimensions or form factors.

Q: How does this case compare to using the original Da-Lite shipping carton?

A: The JEL-DA100 is a reusable hard case rated to ATA-300, designed for repeated transport cycles. Original cardboard packaging is intended for one-time shipping and degrades quickly under repeated commercial freight use.
