Foam

Foam not only offers extra protection for your valuable merchandise, but the addition of foam to a case also provides a wide variety of opportunities for stand-out product presentation and organization. We carry a complete range of options for foam-lined cases, foam-filled cases, and custom foam inserts to cushion and protect your product, including polyurethane, polyethylene, crosslink, polylam, Ethafoam, eperan, expanded polystyrene (EPS), among other foams. For display cases and presentation cases, we also offer flocked foam for intense color display.

Custom foam interiors offer tailor-made protection and display options for your presentation. Source offers expert design, die-cutting, water-jet cutting, routing, and fabrication to ensure your case’s contents are safe, secure, organized, and aesthetically pleasing. Many designs require no tooling; complicated designs require inexpensive cutting dies. We are experts in fabricating, die cutting, routing, water-jet cutting, and laminating a variety of foams including polyurethane; polyether foam and polyester foam, polyethylene; polylam foam, Ethafoam, and cross link foams.

Our stock foam options are cost-effective alternatives for those under tight time constraints or for the Do-It-Yourselfer (DIY) with a smaller budget. Make your own foam insert with our stock polyurethane and polyethylene foam sheets for shock absorbency and added protection; convoluted foam (also known as egg crate foam) which conforms to the shape of your merchandise and instrumentation for a tighter fit, or diced (or pick-and-pluck) foam which allows you to remove foam cubes to form a cavity shape best suited for your wares. Our foam sheets are available in a variety of thicknesses. The charcoal ester foam sheets are available in ½” and 1” thick solid sheets or die-cut — diced, Pick ‘N’ Pluck style. Foam cuts easily with a sharp knife and can be laminated with hot melt or spray glue or, if your project is more intricate, we can develop a custom foam interior to suit your specific needs.

Stock foam sheets ship UPS Ground only. Free utility knife with purchase of over $50 in foam sheets.

Our sales engineers understand the strengths and limitations of foam densities and load-bearing characteristics and will guide you through the design process from concept to completion.

No need to find another source for customizing your cases, we do it all…in house, on time and within your budget.

Case Study:Medical Device Instrument Case

Medical Device Instrument Case

The Challenge

A California-based spinal company relied on flimsy corrugated packaging and commercially-produced dunnage to protect their anatomically-driven instrumentation. They came to Cases By Source to explore more effective alternatives and, in the course of sending their equipment for measurement, experienced first-hand proof of their need for cases: The tools were damaged in transit.

The Response

To protect the client’s sensitive equipment, we suggested a durable but portable case that would guarantee protection and still offer the aesthetics of a sales demo kit. The Pelican 1510 Carry-On Case pairs durable, lightweight construction with a travel-friendly design that meets FAA carry-on size regulations—a perfect solution for this client’s needs.

The Solution

Using our sophisticated structural design tools, we measured each piece of equipment in order to determine the most sensible layout for the custom interior. We then created 3D computer models of the instruments and proposed interior to provide the customer with a quick snapshot of the case before production commenced. For this client, we fabricated a closed-cell cross-linked, routed-foam custom insert to secure the items and display them in an efficient order inside the watertight, crushproof and dustproof case. This foam is available in a variety of densities with rich color saturations. For brand recognition and informational purposes, we added a scratchproof, personalized label to the exterior and a literature pouch was secured in the lid.
