The uses for Foam Packaging

Foam packaging is used to pack and protect hundreds of different products and materials and in many cases it can be used to enhance the appearance of a product in a box or case by ensuring what is inside is kept in position. Companies who require foam packaging for their products will tend to outsource this work to companies who specialise in cutting materials to specific shapes and sizes and these companies will often use water jet cutting to achieve precise results. Foam packaging companies will be able to create foam cut outs in almost any shape and size to form protective packaging solutions for a wide range of products. Some customers will require foam packaging that offers a water and air tight packaging solution and for this they will need to use neoprene or EPDM foam that has these qualities.

Foam packaging is a popular choice as it lightweight so saves money when it comes to shipping costs. Foam is also one of the most effective packaging solutions as is very soft and will not mark or scratch any surface it rubs up against but its density makes it very strong with a good impact resistance. Foam packaging is often used inside cases, cardboard boxes, pen boxes, tool boxes and cases, for packing components, placed between wood and other building components to prevent air and water damage, foam packaging is often used on assembly lines to help with dispensing and it can be used for many other purposes. Many companies who manufacture bespoke foam packing will also offer a water jet cutting service for foam and other materials.

Once foam packing has been created using water jet cutting it can have a self-adhesive backing applied if required to make it easy to fix into place. As well as water jet cutting being used to cut foam packaging it can also be used to cut paper, rubber, stainless steel, marble, ceramics, aluminium and much more. Water jet cutting uses water and abrasives which are mixed together to create a fine beam of fluid that will cut through almost any material with precision.
