From tough tubes to custom containers, the packaging industry offers an abundance of effective crating solutions that provide excellent protection for your fragile parts. These products can help protect your fragile parts against handling and shipping damage that can occur in transit, whether you’re shipping by air, land, or sea.

Foam lined shippers are containers that have several built-in layers of thick foam, which offer superior shock absorption and extraordinary protection against vibration.

While they come in all shapes and sizes, foam shippers can also be customized according to your exact specifications.

  • Most foam shippers are reusable
  • Many have locking tabs for added security
  • Shippers can be used alone or as a secondary container.
