Foam in place packaging provides unique customized cushioning properties. It is very versatile because it “molds” around the product being packaged. The insert is actually made from chemicals injected into a high density polyethylene bag. Once mixed together, they begin to foam up, expanding to surround the item and fill the outer container.

Foam in place is an ideal material for companies shipping many different configurations of fragile products . It fills the space fully with a customized cushion that molds itself around the product it is protecting – sharp edges, corners, odd shapes, and all. The product is securely seated in a pocket of protection.

Foam in place packaging technology offers the highest degree of product protection available. It allows operators to work smarter and more simply for maximum productivity while reducing or eliminating damage expenses. And its small footprint maximizes space and cost efficiency, as well as increases consumer confidence.

If you’re constantly trying to manage consumable usage, frustrated by unexpected equipment downtime, or annoyed about having to wait days for a technician, you’re not alone. The fact is that equipment is supposed to help make packaging easier, safer, more efficient, and keep your facility more productive.

What is Foam in place Packaging?

Today, the most cost-effective and time-efficient foam in place technologies are designed with the operator in mind, by simplifying the packaging process, reduce costs, and increasing productivity.

Our foam in place products are “smarter” than the competition. The products we carry have the high quality foam protective packaging product of Instapak by Sealed Air, but are enhanced with the intelligence factor of Pregis. Described as “Foam in Place Systems with a high IQ,” separating itself from the mold by providing an innovative telemetry and bar-coding system.

Don't let damaged goods hurt your relationship

Do you know the fact of the matter is that nearly 10% of all packages shipped are damaged during transit. And, of those damaged packages, approximately 5% have product damage?

Damage affects the customer. The buying experience dramatically improves when they open the package to discover products exactly as they are expected to appear.
