Foam Inserts for Boxes

If you want the highest level of protection when shipping items via post or courier, foam inserts for boxes are the best option.

Foam inserts for boxes are effectively foam blocks that are fixed into outer cardboard boxes. The foam insert has recesses cut into it for products to sit, often cut to the exact shape of the items to be shipped. The foam inserts absorb any shock or impact, protecting their contents.

Our team of specialist foam designers at Suttons Performance Packaging can create bespoke foam inserts for boxes that are precisely tailored to your requirements. This includes die-cut Stratocell for single-trip applications and reusable CNC-routed Plastazote. With over 60 years of experience, we can advise on a foam packaging option that is best for your application, products, and budget.

Custom foam inserts for boxes

At Suttons Performance Packaging, the largest part of our business is supplying assembled box and foam packs to ship high-value or fragile items.

You can take advantage of our knowledgeable designers, with specific expertise in foam, who can create a fully tailored solution for your business. They will thoroughly assess your product, potential handling and environments it is likely to encounter in the supply chain, while also considering budget, sustainability, and your customer's expectations.

After prototyping and testing as required, we can manufacture your foam inserts and boxes at our Cambridgeshire-based production facility before supplying them as an assembled, ready-to-use pack.

This approach not only ensures that your packaging provides the optimum level of protection but also allows us full control over quality, lead times, and volumes (you can source custom packs from as low as 50 units or in thousands as required).
