Design & Customization

SnapCab sets itself apart as the leader in customization, offering a wide range of options to make your pod truly unique. When it comes to customization, here’s what makes us the top choice in the market. We provide an extensive selection of finishes for both exterior and interior wall panels, aluminum frames, flooring, and furniture. This allows you to choose from a diverse range of materials, colors, and textures to create the perfect aesthetic for your pod.

Personalization is key, and we offer custom printing options on Corning® Gorilla® Glass or vinyl. Whether you want to display custom imagery or incorporate your branding, we can bring your vision to life, adding a personalized touch to your pod.

In environments where hygiene and cleanliness are crucial, we offer medical-grade antimicrobial options. These options ensure a clean and safe space, providing peace of mind, especially in healthcare or sensitive settings.

Our Connects wall system provides flexibility in design. They can be attached to any corner of the pod, allowing you to create additional lounge or office space according to your specific needs and preferences.

For those seeking an open and spacious atmosphere, we offer the option of incorporating rear glass walls in your pod. This choice allows natural light to flow through, enhancing the overall sense of openness and inviting ambiance.

Seamless transitions are possible with our floorless models. By eliminating the threshold, you can enjoy a smooth flow between spaces, creating a cohesive and harmonious environment.

At SnapCab, we understand that customization is essential to create a pod that truly reflects your individual style and requirements. With our wide range of options and flexible solutions, you can tailor every aspect of your pod to meet your unique needs and preferences.

Our flexible construction allows for custom pod sizes in width, depth, and height to perfectly accommodate the unique specifications of your space. With this flexibility, you can create an environment that seamlessly integrates with your surroundings and optimizes functionality. 

Contact a product specialist to discuss your custom sizing options.

We offer an endless range of finishes for exterior and interior wall panels, aluminum frames, flooring, and furniture. We have the ability to work with customer materials if needed.

SnapCab is a company that embraces and practices the principles of lean manufacturing – a method that focuses on overall waste reduction. 

Our standard SnapCab panels with plastic laminate finish contain 88 percent post–consumer recycled content. The recyclable heavy-gauge aluminum extrusion substructure and stainless-steel door handles are also made from recycled materials. 

The standard ceiling tile contains a minimum of 80 percent previously recycled polyester fiber from plastic bottles, while the upgraded acoustic panels contain a minimum of 45 percent. 

Instead of shipping each SnapCab pod in a separate crate, they are assembled and shipped as its own crate, with the panels wrapped and protected inside. 

The environmental savings are estimated to include the following: 

  • Elimination of two large 96x48x48 plywood crates 
  • Fuel reduction with the elimination of transporting two plywood crates 
  • 30 percent reduction in the use of plastic and non–biodegradable plastic wrap 
  • Built–in pallet at the bottom of the SnapCab eliminates the need for separate pallets

We believe visual privacy is just about as important as sound privacy. That’s why we’ve designed SnapCabs to have three solid walls and one glass front. When you’re working inside, you’ll always be able to see what’s going on in front of you.

With that said, if you’re interested in customizing a SnapCab pod to include two clear glass walls, please contact us!

Here’s a video to further explain visual privacy in a SnapCab.
