If your company is incurring excessive costs as a result of damaged or broken items during the shipping process, you need better packaging. That’s when American Foam can help. We are custom foam packing experts – designing, engineering, and fabricating high-quality, reliable foam packaging to protect a wide range of products. We also have expert engineers on staff that use rapid prototyping to quickly bring a solution to the table.

The first step in the prototyping process is understanding the issue. We take the time to listen, ask questions, and thoroughly consider all aspects of the problem.
Then, with the use of design software our engineers will create a precise 3D model of the product and how the custom foam inserts will fit within the outer packaging. We are your custom foam material handling solution and have designed everything from custom foam for Pelican cases, foam packaging inserts, foam box liners and inserts, and foam product displays. Our team of experts has years of experience and knowledge of the packaging industry, so they can easily determine the best materials for the job. We have a wide range of foam materials to suit the most demanding protection challenges, including EPS, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyurethane, and styrofoam foam packaging and sheets. From there, they will cut, glue, and/or weld pieces together to create an accurate sample ready to test. This is all done in-house. Rapid prototyping lets you turn your concept into a test subject quickly and efficiently.

Cost-effective rapid prototyping is part of the superior service we offer at American Foam. Contact us today to discuss your needs with one of our prototyping experts.
