Both custom and off-the-shelf foam shipping boxes are a cost-effective option if your business is shipping lightweight components, including those with an unusual profile.
Foam shipping boxes are standard cardboard boxes with foam material added to the inside surfaces. Also called padded shipping boxes, the foam lining absorbs shock and impact, protecting the contents during transport.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we have developed a range of multipurpose, off-the-shelf foam cushioned packs in a range of sizes. Always in stock, these padded shipping boxes, with no tooling costs, are an ideal, cost-effective solution for short-run consignments.
At Suttons Performance Packaging, we can design and manufacture completely bespoke solutions in addition to the range of standard foam shipping boxes.
Our designers, corrugated box manufacturing machinery, and foam conversion equipment allow us to create padded shipping boxes in-house and tailor them to your precise requirements.


Options include the cardboard material grade, the foam density, the overall size and style of your shipping box, and whether you require print adding. We can even design and manufacture foam shipping boxes with protection from static.
By keeping both design and manufacture in-house, you can also source custom foam shipping boxes in low and high volumes (50 – 3,000+ units).
