Package Smartly With Pick and Pluck Foam

Packaging can be as simple as wrapping an item in old newspaper, putting it in an envelope, and sending it on its merry way. Other times, storing or shipping an item requires more care, and the level of detail required often grows in correlation to the value and fragility of the item. For situations where on-hand materials won’t get a packaging job done, DIY pick and pluck foam can give you foam cut to size without needing technical expertise.

The beauty of this protection product lies in its pre-cut, perforated structure that lets the user effortlessly tear away the ½ inch cubes into a pattern mimicking the shape of what will be packed. These little cubes can be sliced away with a knife or just as quickly pulled apart by hand. Sheets of this packaging product are made in many different thicknesses for deeper items, and layering multiple sheets gives you the opportunity to customize different sheet tiers for 360 degrees of protection around an intricate item. The only rule of thumb when using pick and pluck foam is to tear or cut away the foam into a shape just slightly smaller than the item itself, so it is held snugly. Pick and pluck is available in multiple foam densities for tailoring your insert’s packaging as needed, and can even be found in anti-static formulations for protecting delicate instruments or electronics.

The level of customizable protection pick and pluck offers makes it the perfect shipping foam because of how quickly you have a unique packaging insert that will snugly hold your item and absorb impact and shock.
