Custom Foam Inserts
Custom foam inserts are designed to protect products during transit by providing cushioning and support where it’s needed most.
With over 30 years of experience, we have found that many companies use more material than necessary. Our approach to custom foam insert design focuses on using the optimum amount of foam to achieve effective protection while reducing unnecessary cost and waste.
Our Spacepack end caps and trays are a proven solution, offering reliable protection using less material. This makes them an efficient option for businesses looking to improve packaging performance without over-specifying foam.

Uses of Custom Foam Inserts
Custom foam inserts are widely used to protect products during shipping by cushioning and supporting items within outer packaging.
Our Spacepack solutions are commonly used for medical equipment, visual display units, electronic components and devices, military equipment, and fragile or precision-engineered products.
For sensitive electronic items, anti-static foam packaging may also be used to help reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge during transit.
Environmental Impact
Is it recyclable?
Foam materials may be reused or recycled depending on the type. Using less foam can also help reduce overall environmental impact.
Is it fire resistant?
Standard foam packaging materials are not typically fire resistant unless specifically manufactured to meet fire-retardant standards.
Is it made from toxic materials?
Foam used in packaging applications is generally non-toxic in its solid form and safe for handling during normal use.
