The right packaging is not the hardest foam; it is the foam and support arrangement suited to the product.
Weight alone does not determine the series
Two products of equal weight may have completely different surfaces, geometry and fragility. A metal component can need concentrated load support, while a measuring instrument may need softer, broader contact.
Core differences between the three series
| Series | Support character | Typical use | Key consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensitive | Softer, more sponge-like | Electronics, optical and fragile products | Surface pressure and vulnerable parts |
| Standard | Balanced, general purpose | Industrial parts, service and regular shipments | Carton void and correct code |
| Heavy-Duty | Higher load-support focus | Motors, equipment and dense metal parts | Distributing load across several supports |
Sensitive Series: softer contact
The Sensitive Series provides a softer, more sponge-like foam character for products with delicate surfaces or low impact tolerance.
- Electronics and equipment containing circuit assemblies
- Measuring, laboratory and optical instruments
- Glass, ceramics and sensitive surface finishes
- Service and return shipments without original packaging
Standard Series: balanced general-purpose support
The Standard Series forms around the product to reduce movement in general industrial shipments. The broad code range supports different product and carton sizes.
- Industrial components and spare parts
- Service, repair, return and second-hand shipments
- Wooden, decorative and custom-manufactured products
Heavy-Duty Series: distribute higher loads
Heavy-product packaging requires more than simply harder material. Motors, equipment and dense components may need the load distributed across bottom, side and top supports, using multiple packs where necessary.
