When you’re traveling with fragile items, you want to ensure they’re adequately protected. Consider purchasing a plastic carrying case with foam to protect your gear. When designing a case with custom foam inserts, we consider the fragility and weight of the product you’re carrying. We create a foam insert that molds around the product you have for complete protection.
What types of foam do we commonly use?
Polyethylene - This type of foam is an excellent choice if you’re bringing your case outside, and it’s exposed to elements such as extreme weather and bodies of water. Polyethylene is a closed-cell foam, and it does not absorb moisture or water. We typically use this type of foam when creating a case for heavy objects.
EVA/Polyethylene - While this is a more costly option than other foams, it’s an excellent choice when durability and aesthetics are essential. This foam comes in a variety of color options, and while the foam is firm, it has a soft feel.
Polyurethane - This is the most common polymer we use when creating our foam inserts. When looking to protect lightweight and delicate items, go with this option. The elastic cell structure of this foam provides a variety of performance abilities.
What are the foam fabrication processes?
Die-Cut Foam - To create this custom interior, we use a steel rule die, which we form to your specifications.
Fabricated - During this process, we take multiple pieces of foam and laminate them together. We create a rectangular- or square-shaped cavity.
Water Jet - This process uses a high-pressure water stream to create the smallest details.
