Foam shipping boxes

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, these boxes feature a foam lining that absorbs shock and impact, protecting the contents during transport.

At Suttons Performance Packaging, we have developed a range of multipurpose, foam cushioned packs that you can specify in bespoke sizes. As a result, these padded boxes for shipping are an ideal, cost-effective solution for both short-run and larger consignments.
