Safely packaging a product for shipment is one of the most important factors in business, whether the item is traveling cross-country or across the street. If a good doesn’t get to where it needs to go in a fully functional and damage-free state, people lose money, waste time, and can damage business or personal relationships trying to remedy the situation. And obviously, the greater the value and importance of the item being shipped, the greater the consequences if that item doesn’t reach its destination in the expected condition.
Electronics are some of the most delicate products that can be shipped. In addition to needing to protect these fragile items against the physical impact and abuse of a package in transit, their components also require special protection against damage from electro-static charges. These unpredictable charges can build up and release, destroying a product that appears to be in perfect condition in every other way. To guard against this, anti-static custom foam packaging dissipates charges, while still offering the padding and protection of traditional custom inserts. The foam is able to cut static charges by virtue of the compounds added during the material’s manufacture.
This pink, medium density foam can be used for one-time shipping inserts, long-term storage solutions, or even as case inserts for cameras, computers, or testing instruments. The compounds used in the making of the foam are used in plastic film for packaging and protective pouches as well, also featuring the material’s signature pink color like the foam products.
When packaging needs to protect against more than physical and visible damage, anti-static foam supplies the extra protection. By guarding against the things we can’t see or actively prevent, it’s as valuable as the items it helps protect.
