Charcoal Foam, Minicell foam, or Polyethylene foam are excellent for padding cases with delicate equipment. This type of foam is lightweight and has a completely open or closed pore structure that provides good airflow to your products. This is beneficial for filter applications and for padding packages when shipping.
Logos, finger pulls or even text can be added to give your case a one-of-a-kind design. We can also add rounded or beveled corners or create custom plug depths for each cutout so that they are even with the foam. Fabric can be glued on the top of the foam if you desire a more finished look.
Step 1: Choose the type of foam:
- Charcoal firm foam- The least expensive for light and/or delicate items (50lbs items and under) a couple times of use for shipping purposes. It feels like a couch cushion but firmer. Thickness is offered from 3/16” to 6” thick.
If you do not like the look of charcoal firm foam or your items are 50lbs and heavier and get repeatedly used, then upgrade your foam to:
- Polyethylene- Looks and feels like a kid’s pool noodle and has self-healing features.
- Minicell foam- Looks and feels like a yoga mat. This foam surface is solid and smooth, no open pores like charcoal firm or polyethylene foam.
Both minicell foam and polyethylene foam is offered in 1/8” thick to 4” thick. Anything thicker than 4” thick can be glued to get the height that you require.
Step 2 Contact Us:
For price quote please make sure you include:
- Overall size of box: length x width x thickness.
- Which type of foam? Recommendations can be made. Just let us know what this will be used for.
- How many cut outs and if your items have different depths?
*We do not cut the depths/cavities in one solid piece. All the plugs will have all the same thickness. Then each plug will be taken out, shave to the correct depth and put the plug back in. We can glue it to a solid base if you like. - A drawing layout such as AutoCAD (dxf), hand drawing (paper templets), pdf or photos with measurements can also be provided to reduce the set-up charge. If you have STEP or EPS files, please convert to DXF top view only. The set-up charge is a one-time fee between $45.00 to $125.00 depending on what type of foam and how many cut outs which includes a prototype sample.
* We also have full packaging foam sheets if you would like to do your own cutting.
* Large quantity foam packing is available for a discounted price upon request.

Key Information for Accurate Quoting:
- Foam Type: Preferred material (e.g., polyethylene, polyurethane).
- Insert Size: Overall length, width, and thickness. (Usually this is based on the interior dimensions of the case or box the foam will be placed in.)
- Cutouts: Number of cavities/cutouts per layer, including the size of each, if possible.
- Quantity Needed: Total number of inserts or complete units you would like quoted.
- Additional Considerations: Any special material properties (e.g., anti-static, custom tolerances), and photos of items or containers (if available). You’re also welcome to send or drop off sample items and containers for more accurate hands-on assistance.
We accept layouts in PDF, DXF, or DWG formats with dimensions in inches. If CAD files aren’t available, a traced layout on paper or cardboard is acceptable, just be sure to indicate the depth of each cutout. Additional customization options such as finger pulls, rounded corners, or logos are also available upon request.
Keep in mind that our waterjet machine cuts in 2D only, straight through the foam. For inserts requiring varying depths, we can layer or skive the foam as needed.
