Boxes with foam are essential if your business ships any items that could become damaged during transit.
Businesses use boxes with foam to safely transport breakable items. The foam element, included as a lining or removable insert, cushions the contents and protects them from shock, impact, and mishandling.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we specialise in supplying bespoke, assembled boxes with foam inserts. Our foam packaging boxes safely transport everything from small electronics components to large, specialist products and equipment. Our in-house designers and extensive manufacturing capabilities enable us to precisely tailor custom boxes with foam to your requirements. Get in touch to see how we can help.
Source any corrugated boxes with foam your business needs – fully assembled if required – that guarantee protection for your products during shipping.
There are several types of foam used in boxes. The most common materials are Stratocell and Ethafoam polythelene foams. Polyurethane foam and even Plastazote are also suitable for specific applications. In addition, a range of recycled foam and sustainable foam inserts are available.
Foam packaging boxes are suitable for a range of industries and applications. These include shipping consumer electronics, computing equipment, industrial components, automotive parts, tools, and much more. Essentially, they are a great option for shipping any high-value, fragile or important item.
Cardboard boxes with foam are recyclable. It is important, however, to separate the two components before disposal. Corrugated cardboard is accepted in almost every recycling stream (including kerbside collections) whilst foam materials typically require processing at specialist facilities.
Whilst purchasing box and foam separately is possible, sourcing them together provides several benefits. Advantages include a much better fit and compatibility between foam and box, less admin, and typically lower costs.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we design and manufacture your boxes with foam in their entirety. Our extensive corrugated packaging manufacturing capability, combined with our specialist foam conversion equipment, enables us to produce your foam packaging to the precise specification you require.
This approach – producing foam and corrugated together – also vastly improves fit, compatibility and quality (compared with sourcing elements separately).
Our designers can advise on a vast range of corrugated materials and foam grades, including many heavy-duty options.
In-house manufacturing at our well-invested site in Cambridgeshire also means you can cost-effectively source volumes ranging from 50 units to many thousands.
The result is that your business benefits from boxes with foam that are tailored to your specific product and application.
