Today’s global economy relies on shipping parts, products and merchandise to customers across the world. Many industries understand the importance of saving on costs by using a light-weight solution that is also strong enough to protect items during transit. That is why so many companies choose custom cut foam packaging to protect the contents of their boxes in the shipping process.

There are three benefits to using custom foam packaging.
First, foam packaging offers maximum cushioning that is also shock absorbent. This is ideal for protecting delicate materials such as glass or other fragile products.
Secondly, foam packaging is lightweight and durable. This means that
the packaging can withstand the rigors of shipping and handling, but it is also light enough that it will not exponentially increase your shipping costs.
Finally, foam packaging is beneficial because it is easily customizable to perfectly fit your product and guarantees your customers’ satisfaction when they receive a fully intact product.

Foam inserts for packaging are sheets or blocks of foam cut or machined so that your products can fit snugly inside. The insert encapsulates your item and then fits inside the box or shipping container. Foam inserts are lightweight and can absorb high impact without damaging the product inside.
Custom foam inserts can end up saving a company a lot of money because fewer items will be returned due to arriving at the destination damaged. Call PFI to discuss a solution to your foam insert needs.
Custom EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam packaging fabrication is the process of cutting and machining foam into unique shapes or sizes so that they properly secure fragile objects inside. By shaping the foam so that it’s perfectly flush with the object prevents it from being disturbed while it was in transit and minimizes unwanted movement within the packaging that could easily damage the item.
Custom cut EPS foam packaging relies on machining or cutting the foam to meet your packaging needs. Put differently, instead of shaping or manipulating the foam, cut EPS foam packaging is the process of removing portions of a large block of foam to create the shape of your product and ensure it is protected while it is being shipped.
Creating custom foam packaging requires a good deal of skill and precision to ensure the final packaging secures the object that is inside as good as possible. PFI will work with you to make sure we understand your needs and goals and offer the appropriate solution.
Although every foam packaging project is different, creating custom cut foam inserts require the following:
The first step is to work with a foam packaging fabricator near you to determine what size foam should be used to manufacture the packaging. The size of the foam that should be used depends on:
The best way to figure out what size is required is to work with a fabricator near you, as they have the knowledge and experience necessary to give you a proper recommendation.
The next step is to identify the right foam inserts to use and identify the appropriate case to ship your products. This decision differs from product to product, because it depends on the size of the product, the durability of the product, and the number of other important factors. PFI is an experienced foam fabrication company that will recommend the best solution for your needs.
The last step is to fabricate the foam itself. At PFI, we cut foam using the right tools and the appropriate foam based on your goal. By this step, we have worked together to understand what you want to accomplish to cut, trim, machine and create the perfect foam packaging that is specially designed to protect your individual product.
