Styrofoam packaging that breaks easily, peanut packaging that end up all over the place, and bubble wrap that works well but requires a lot to fill a box work well but are not always ideal to protect the product departing from the warehouse and ship across the nation or world. An alternative method of warehouse packing is foam-in place protective packaging.
The foam-in place is a cushioning method that filled voids in packages to protect items in transit. The polyurethane foam is in liquid form that expands up to 200% of its original size and solidifies.
One method of the foam-in place method includes the following steps.
· Line the box with a strong film suited for the process
· Using a hand held dispenser with the use of a compression air system, spray the liquid
· The liquid expands
· Fold over the film, then place the product firmly in place
· Place lining over the items
· Spray foam and fold sheet over
The foam expands to fill space around the product to keep expensive and/or delicate items in place, in order to prevent damage during transit.
A similar method includes pre-packaged liquid foam that expands once activated by rubbing or pressing. Place the pack in the box, press the product in, and then repeat the process again.
There are various manufacturers and systems and the method you choose depend upon size and volume.
