Machining Custom Foam Packaging

Creating Foam Inserts for Packaging

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.

Steps to Make Custom Foam Packaging

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:

Foam Package Size

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 size of the product
• The product’s material
• The type of foam being used
• Durability of the foam

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.

Foam Inserts / Choose the Foam Packaging Case

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.

Ready the Foam

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.
