Custom Foam Packaging

By Joe Maldonado


Are you having difficulties to choose between all the various possibilities of packaging your products? The most practical and conservative option can be also special and unique.

Custom foam packaging can provide added value to any product. Whether what you need is protective packaging, temperature sensitive shipping, refrigerants, or custom foam components, the companies' engineers can design an efficient, cost-effective solution to fit your business plan.

Polyurethane is a good choice for packaging, because they can be easily cut and fabricated. Polyurethane foam provides maximum protection at minimum cost. The particular combination of lightweight, cushioning efficiency, cleanliness, and workability makes it indicated for protection of products such as electronic systems, equipment, guns, knives or swords.

You can have your custom foam packaging made by a company, or if you like to do everything by yourself, you can have handmade packaging. It is not as hard as it sounds. You should put the foam on a level surface. Place the product in a corner and mark out a piece the size of the bag bottom. Cut a piece of foam with the utility knife and use that as a template to mark out the number of pieces to fill the height of the product when it is stacked on top of one another. Lay the items on one of the foam pieces that you cut. Mark around the product. Stand long narrow items and use that marker to draw the outline. Cut out the shapes you marked in the foam. Use that piece as a template and mark and cut all but leave two of the foam pieces. One of them will rest in the bottom and one of them will cover the top. Put the bottom piece flat and spray glue over one of the cut pieces. Match the outsides of the foam and lay the glued face against the top of the bottom. Press the two pieces. Let the glue to dry and then put the top for more safety and you're done.

If you have a large business and you are dealing with product transporting you have to know that in case of an accident the most certain way your products will remain safe is if you are using foam packaging. It attenuates the shocks and your items will be brought without scratch to the destination. Companies have now various way of using different kinds of foam in packaging. Depending on the fragility of your products, designers will create custom foam packaging to ensure a safe shipment. Polyethylene is used as foam packaging material to package heavy products. For products that weigh below 20 kilos, most companies use polyurethane. Whether what you need is protective packaging, temperature sensitive shipping, refrigerants, or custom foam components, the companies' engineers can design an efficient, cost-effective solution to fit your business plan.

If you care for your products, if you have respect for your work, transporting them safely must be your primary concern. Choose custom foam packing because it is way in which you can keep your products intact until they arrive to destination.
