Foam lined boxes

Foam-lined boxes are a great option if you need a cost-effective way to ship your products.

Foam-lined boxes are cardboard boxes with a foam lining fixed inside. The foam provides cushioning for the contents, preventing them from becoming damaged during shipping. The foam lining often uses convoluted or egg-crate foam, which also holds items in place once the box is closed.

At Suttons Performance Packaging, we can supply foam-lined cardboard boxes designed and manufactured to your exact requirements. Options include custom sizes, varying material grades and strengths, plus features such as printing or specialist protection against static. Please speak with one of our experts to discuss your foam-lined box requirements.

FAQs

Using custom foam-lined boxes for shipping rather than off-the-shelf options typically improves protection, preventing costly customer returns and protecting your business’s reputation. But it can significantly reduce your ongoing costs in other ways. For example, custom foam-lined boxes use less material. They also reduce shipping costs, as you do not pay to transport empty space, and they reduce storage requirements in your warehouse.

Unlike custom foam inserts for boxes, foam-padded boxes can accommodate a range of product shapes and sizes. The egg crate foam lining conforms to the product’s shape, simultaneously holding it in place and cushioning it from impact.

It is possible to print on any foam-lined box. Printed shipping boxes can feature handling instructions, important information, or even your branding, providing free advertising throughout the supply chain or postal/courier networks. Print can range from single-colour graphics through to full-colour designs.

The outer corrugated cardboard of foam-lined shipping boxes is recyclable and collected in UK kerbside collections. The foam element, whilst recyclable, is not currently collected from homes for recycling. It instead has to be taken to special facilities for recycling. As such, it is important to separate the two elements before disposal.
