FOAMplus ® perfect protective packaging solution from Storopack

As a leading global protective packaging supplier Storopack recognizes the importance of ensuring goods are protected during transit and arrive in perfect condition .
Damaged goods not only incur costs for replacement orders but also affect businesses ’ reputations . So while costs need to be kept to a minimum it is vital to choose the correct protective packaging type .
Usually a void fill packaging medium will suffice . However when the product is more sensitive to shock and vibration , such as engineering , electronics , aeronautical , and many other expensive products then more consideration has to be given to using the right type of in-the-box protective packaging .
Storopack ’ s FOAMplus ® range is a perfect solution for companies that manufacture or ship products that require this highest degree of protection eliminating transit and handling damage .
The success of FOAMplus ® polyurethane foam is based upon its huge versatility as a packaging medium . The foam can either be dispensed directly into the carton where the expanding foam will mould itself to the contours of the product shape or can be made into pre-moulded cushions to enhance presentation . The product will satisfy the most rigorous cushioning demands for high value , fragile and awkward shaped products . The light weight foam packaging also ensures that shipping costs are kept to a minimum whilst providing customers with total product protection .
As a space saving solution FOAMplus ®, polyurethane foam packaging is ‘ on demand ’ and mixes two components together which then expands up to 200 times its liquid volume negating the necessity for large storage areas required for pre-fabricated packaging .
The benefits for customers are numerous . As well as an ideal solution for protecting awkward and valuable products , customers with product design changes and new product line additions are able to quickly adapt the packaging without the need to carry a large range of bespoke cartons or fabricated packaging .
There are two dispensing methods available for the insitu protective packaging solution . Either FOAMplus ® Hand Packer , a manually operated system , with a fully electronic microprocessor control to maintain consistent quality that delivers the foam direct into polythene lined carton via a foam dispensing gun .
