1. The Protection Afforded By Packaging Foam
When considering packaging materials foam is just one of the many materials that
spring to mind which include bubble wrap and polystyrene. However, in many
respects packaging foam is superior to any of the alternatives due to the range of
properties that it embodies. By using packaging foam distributors can be sure that
products will reach their destination in one piece and in the very best of condition.
This simple and inexpensive material can make the difference for any distribution
service, enabling a higher standard of customer service to be attained.
Packaging Foam for a Presentation Case
By nature packaging foam is shock absorbing. This is particularly useful when
packaging a parcel. By using packaging foam the sender can ensure that the item is
protected from external shock and impact. For particular fragile items this may simply
be routine handling of the package. For more durable items packaging foam offers a
level of protection against accidental drops during transit or even abuse at the hands
of the courier. By absorbing the shock of any impacts rather than transferring it to the
item which is enclosed the packaging foam is certain to shield the package from
damage.
Profile Packaging Foam
Moreover, packaging foam can be used effectively when packaging a number of
smaller items. This foam is available in a wide variety of different consistencies
including sheets and pellets and can even be designed and cut to the exact
requirements of the distributor. By using packaging foam in among many individual
items the sender can be sure that the individual items will not collide with each other
or rub against each other while in transit. This will ensure that the items reach their
destination in pristine condition and should therefore have a noticeable impact upon
customer satisfaction.

2. Finally, packaging foam can be used effectively to simply fill space. A distributor may
have a vast range of products, all of different shapes and sizes. However, it is often
cost effective to use standardised parcels of differing sizes. It is more than likely that
on occasion an item will be slightly too big for a particular parcel but far too small for
another. In such an instance packaging foam can be used to make up the difference
between the size of the item and the parcel while protecting its contents. Moreover,
due to the low density of packaging foam the overall weight of the parcel will not be
substantially increased which would otherwise have an impact upon shipping costs.
The applications of packaging foam are virtually endless, particularly when
considering the versatility of this material in terms of its shape and size. To name but
a few applications, packaging foam can be used to protect packages against shock
and impact, to prevent smaller items colliding and rubbing in transit and to simply fill
space when a parcel is substantially larger than the item in question. By using
packaging foam offered by Foam Techniques Ltd a distributor can be sure that their
items will reach the consumer in the very best of condition.
