Foam-in-Place Packaging

custom foam packaging

At Custom Foam Packaging we have the ability to create foam-in-place moldings to secure and protect whatever you need in a cushion of protection.

We allow our foam to encircle and surround your product or item. This foam then hardens into a perfectly shaped custom foam cocoon or protection, assuring your piece a secure move anywhere around the world.

At Custom Foam Packaging, custom foam boxes are our specialty! We have become the experts in this new and exciting packing technique that also protects your products.  Allow our packaging experts to take all the guesswork out packaging with a Foam-in-Place packing foam system that wraps your most expensive and fragile objects in a safe, built-to-fit fortress of tough Styrofoam.

Once the Custom “Cooler” is created, your product is packaged with CO2 and express shipped so your product remains at the proper temperature throughout the shipping process. Additionally, we have a temperature-controlled warehouse that helps with product maintenance and assures that temperatures stay cool and exact during the pack and ship process with custom foam boxes so that your product always arrives the way it’s supposed to. We are serious about quality, we promise you that.

Creating foam-in-place moldings for recurring production pieces is also available for when you have specific production items that you need to secure and ship on a regular basis. But it is not necessary if you only have one-time packaging needs. At Custom Foam Packaging and custom foam boxes, we can create a packaging assembly and custom foam boxes that allow you to fit your pieces and products in easily without having to either buy the foam-in-place equipment, or have to come to our offices every time you need to ship an item. This will allow you to save time and money because we will have custom packaging and custom foam boxes to secure your items all ready to go.  We create a “wooden” model of your piece and create a custom foam box. We use these models to mold the Foam-in-Place to custom fit your piece. At Custom Foam Packaging, we then create the complete packaging assembly for your production items. Once packaged, the items in your custom foam boxes are shipped to your customer.

Why Go For the Custom Foam Packaging?

custom foam packaging

Our Foam-in-Place packaging is different from other foam inserts because it saves you warehouse space. How? Our Foam-in-Place foam expands up to 200 times its liquid volume when, where and as you need it. Isn’t science amazing? This significantly reduces the cost of storage and handling for you and your business and also helps you ship more efficiently to your customers. How efficient is it? Two 55-gallon drums of liquid components when combined can create a trailer-truck load worth of packaging material and custom foam boxes. It’s pretty incredible.

What is an INSTAPAK FOAM for Custom Foam Boxes?

The Instapak foam packaging is a combination of two components; Component A  is a Polymethylene Polyphenylisocyanate and component B is a Polyether Polyol Resin Mixture. When combined their reaction turns the liquid into solid foam to encase your product. Your product adheres to world class manufacturing (wCM) principles that ensure reliable and consistent product quality of our foam and custom foam boxes. It’s super simple to use for us and that means all your packages are shipped as quickly as possible.

Moreover, the innovative foam packaging technique uses the liquid foam that hardens to perfectly encase an object for safe transit or shipping in custom foam boxes. The foam is set into the bottom of a shipping carton to mold. Next, the object is placed onto the foam, securely contained in a sealed bag, allowing for the foam to expand and surround the object while it cures. This foam is a great solution for smaller objects such as vases and other fragile products, and even good for larger items such as electronic equipment. There really are a variety of products that could greatly benefit from this foam-in-place packaging.

This combination of components creates foam packaging and custom foam boxes that are fast, easy, and versatile.  The Instapak foam packaging process allows on-site production, at Custom Foam Packaging, of these polyurethane foam packages that can be used in a decentralized or on-line packaging operation. This packing option is ideal for cushioning, blocking, and bracing or void-fill applications. Instapak packaging and custom foam boxes provide excellent product protection against shock and vibration during shipping and handling.

Why Custom Foam-in-Place Packaging Could Be the Best For Your Products

custom foam packaging

If you haven’t heard of Foam-in-Place Packaging, it’s time we introduce you to one of the most effective cushioning solutions available today for custom foam boxes.

Foam-in-Place Packaging is technologically advanced as the foam instantly molds to the shape of your product and expands to fill the void space of your shipping container or custom foam boxes. This means it is compact, quick to set up and helps to expedite the shipping process. The Foam-in-Place process at Custom Foam Packaging begins when Instapak foam is dispensed into a carton lined with high-strength Instamate film. Once that is lined, simple cushioning or blocking and bracing processes are used for a variety of items in varying shapes and sizes. The Instamate film is then folded over and the product is placed on the rising foam.  A second sheet of Instamate film is placed over the product and more Instapak foam is dispensed on top. This what creates your custom mold for your custom foam box. When this is complete it means that your products are safely protected and your customer receives your product in perfect condition- the way you want it!

What makes this so fantastic is that Custom Foam Packaging uses an Instapak 900 Series System.

This is the most advanced hand-held foam dispensing system on the market today and we use it for all our foam packaging needs. The Instapak 900 Foam-in-Place Packaging System is suited for small to mid-size packaging applications.

Why do we like the Instapak 900 is Compact so much? For starters, this is reliable, and simple for us to use. With self-diagnostic controls, built-in timers, electric operation with no compressed air, and the flexibility of adjusting the amount of foam dispensed for your application, it has everything we need built right in to make shipping a breeze. Better yet, the Instapak 900 Custom Foam Packaging guarantees foam quality for your custom foam boxes.  Our electric metering pumps and self-diagnostic controls guarantee top quality foam that will be sure to protect your product. Everything gets to your customer the way you intended it to. No trouble. No hassle. We do it for you.
