We cut foam inserts to your specifications. Or you can do it yourself.
We customize foam inserts for your instruments or specialized equipment using a die cut process. Below, we also offer instructions on how you can cut your own foam inserts for whatever shipping requirements you may have. (Note: these "how to" instructions are well-suited to individual needs but not professional or branded requirements.)
For the creation of custom cases suited to your unique product, Ameripack offers the ability to create custom cases or cases with custom foam inserts. We die cut foam inserts using our own infrastructure and expertise to create a professional looking case that presents well, should you attend trade shows, etc.
Our most used type of foam is pluck foam (sheets of cubed cut foam) but we also offer custom foam made from any type of foam. Ask us and we'll apply our experience and expertise to tell you the right kind of foam for your equipment. We work from your product blueprints or samples. Then we create a die that meets your specifications and produce inserts (and cases, if needed) in the quantity you require.

Broad types of foam inserts
There are several types of foam used in cases' inserts including the following:
Polyurethane Foam is created with an elastic cell structure most often open cell.
Polyethylene Foam is a closed cell foam (where the cell walls are not interconnected). This means that the foam resists water and moisture.
Crosslink Foam comes with a softer feel. While often a closed cell foam (non-absorbent), this is also more pleasant to deal with.
Within each of these broad types there are variations on materials. You can read more about foam inserts.
How to cut foam inserts for cases (do it yourself)
For small, single-use, non-professional, non-branded or single-user-based needs, we also offer some simple instructions on cutting your own foam inserts:
Start with a full piece of pluck foam, preferably larger than your case.
Place your product in the spot in the foam where you would like it to rest, then trace around it.
Then use a utility knife and cut around the line in the same depth as the product you want to pack and protect.
If required, you can view our more fully illustrated details on creating your own custom inserts.
Inserts and cut foam are prominent features listed among the advantages of custom cases.
