Do It Yourself Pick and Pluck Packaging Foam

Packaging can be as simple as stuffing some crumpled newspaper around an item in a shipping envelope and sending it on its way. Other times, storing or shipping an item requires a more personal touch, and the amount of detail required often correlates to the value and fragility of the item. For situations where a run of the mill packing material won’t get the job done, do-it-yourself pick and pluck foam can give you cut to size foam without designing or technical expertise.

The beauty of this product lies in its pre-cut, perforated structure that allows the user to easily tear away the ½ inch cubes to the shape of what will be packed. These can be sliced away with a knife or pulled apart by hand. Sheets of this product can come in a multitude of thicknesses as well for deeper items, and layering multiple sheets gives you the opportunity to pick and pluck away different levels for 360 degrees of protection around an intricate item. The only rule of thumb with pick and pluck is to tear or cut away cubes to a shape slightly smaller than the item so when it is squeezed into the opening, it is held snugly. It is available in multiple foam densities for tailoring your insert to lighter or heavier products and is even available in anti-static formulations for protecting delicate instruments or electronics.

The level of customization pick and pluck provides makes it the perfect foam for shipping because you can quickly have a one of a kind packaging insert that will snugly hold your item and absorb impact and shock.
