Protective Packaging
Custom Foam Packaging Solutions Ensure Product Protection
Surface protection can take many forms, but it all boils down to the product presentation and the impression it leaves on your end customer. Safely packaged products translate to happy customer experiences. Our Foam Fabrication Division utilizes many varieties of open- and closed-cell foams to design and fabricate product-specific interior protection.
The 6 Benefits of Foam
- Protect Your Investment: Keeping your product safe from damage is the bottom line result you can expect with foam protection.
- Versatility: Our protective products come in a variety of styles, including open cell, closed cell, expanded, extruded, molded, laminated, and grown.
- Scalability: Whether you need a few or a few hundred thousand, our fabrication department can optimize yield and manufacturing speed to scale up with your growing business.
- Sustainability: We have polyethylene materials that contain a minimum of 65% recycled content, Green Cell® Foam made from corn, and Restore® Mushroom Packaging made from feedstock and mycelium.
- Foam Can Be Cool: Cold chain packaging takes advantage of the R factor benefits found in polystyrene or Green Cell® Foams to keep your temperature sensitive shipments cool during transportation.
- Foam-In-Place: When your protective needs vary by size and shape, costly tooling and large fixed-product runs aren’t always cost effective. Foam-In-Place is a chemical reaction of A/B urethanes that rise and conform around your angles and corners, giving you a dynamic protective solution every time.
