The Protection Afforded By Packaging Foam When considering packaging materials foam is just one of the many materials that spring to mind which include bubble wrap and polystyrene. However, in many respects packaging foam is superior to any of the alternatives due to the range of properties that it embodies. By using packaging foam distributors can be sure that products will reach their destination in one piece and in the very best of condition. This simple and inexpensive material can make the difference for any distribution service, enabling a higher standard of customer service to be attained.

Packaging Foam for a Presentation Case By nature packaging foam is shock absorbing. This is particularly useful when packaging a parcel. By using packaging foam the sender can ensure that the item is protected from external shock and impact. For particular fragile items this may simply be routine handling of the package. For more durable items packaging foam offers a level of protection against accidental drops during transit or even abuse at the hands of the courier. By absorbing the shock of any impacts rather than transferring it to the item which is enclosed the packaging foam is certain to shield the package from damage.

Profile Packaging Foam Moreover, packaging foam can be used effectively when packaging a number of smaller items. This foam is available in a wide variety of different consistencies including sheets and pellets and can even be designed and cut to the exact requirements of the distributor. By using packaging foam in among many individual items the sender can be sure that the individual items will not collide with each other or rub against each other while in transit. This will ensure that the items reach their destination in pristine condition and should therefore have a noticeable impact upon customer satisfaction.

Finally, packaging foam can be used effectively to simply fill space. A distributor may have a vast range of products, all of different shapes and sizes. However, it is often cost effective to use standardised parcels of differing sizes. It is more than likely that on occasion an item will be slightly too big for a particular parcel but far too small for another. In such an instance packaging foam can be used to make up the difference between the size of the item and the parcel while protecting its contents. Moreover, due to the low density of packaging foam the overall weight of the parcel will not be substantially increased which would otherwise have an impact upon shipping costs. The applications of packaging foam are virtually endless, particularly when considering the versatility of this material in terms of its shape and size. To name but a few applications, packaging foam can be used to protect packages against shock and impact, to prevent smaller items colliding and rubbing in transit and to simply fill space when a parcel is substantially larger than the item in question. By using packaging foam offered by Foam Techniques Ltd a distributor can be sure that their items will reach the consumer in the very best of condition.
