What Is the Best Type of Foam for a Carrying Case?
When it comes to creating a carrying case, there are many types of foam to consider. We can create various carrying cases to fit your specific needs. The type of foam you decide to use for your product will depend on your needs.
Types of foam we work with:
- Anti-Static Foam - When transporting electric parts and equipment, it's best to use anti-static foam. This type of foam is designed to cushion your goods, including computer chips and sensitive circuit boards.
- Polyethylene - Polyethylene is the most common type of plastic used today. It is strong and resilient and designed to absorb shock and vibrations. If you know that your items will be treated roughly during transport, this type of foam is a great choice.
- Eggcrate Foam - This foam gets its name from egg cartons as that's what they resemble. This type of foam provides more surface space for objects to rest on than other types.
- Charcoal Foam - When looking for custom foam inserts that will come in contact with frequently used equipment, we suggest going with charcoal foam. Charcoal foam is resistant to dirt and long-lasting, so you can ensure it will still look like new over time.
- Polystyrene - This closed-cell foam can be used in many applications. It is commonly used to create packing material for cushioning, such as packing peanuts.
When creating a plastic carrying case with foam, there are many types of foam to choose from. Each foam comes with its advantages. We'll help you decide on the foam that best fits your needs.
