Crushing protection is provided by cardboard alone. It does not shield from impact, vibration, or jostling that occurs when a sensitive product is actually transported. To fill that gap, there is Foam Lined Cardboard Packaging, providing you the cost-effectiveness of regular Custom Cardboard Boxes and the cushioning fragile goods required to make it through shipping safely.
What’s Foam Lined Cardboard Packaging?
Foam lined cardboard packaging is a cardboard (or corrugated) piece that is lined with foam, which has been designed to fit and protect the shape of a particular product. Whereas loose packing material can move around during transit, a foam liner will ensure that your product remains in place from the time of packing until it gets to the customer’s hands.
Benefits for Businesses
Branding Cardboard Boxes with a logo from Empress Packaging will place your brand on the outside, and the foam inside will carry out the protection that many generic boxes don’t provide. Product security is greatly enhanced for fragile, high-value goods, glass or electronics, and sensitive cosmetics, where a box is not sufficient. The cost savings are simply due to the avoidance of any damage claims/product replacement expenses, which are many times the cost of the foam insert. There are green foams available for brands that desire cushioning and still meet their sustainability standards. The better the customer experience, the more the product arrives undamaged and properly positioned inside a box, rather than rattling around in an oversized box.
Features & Specifications
Material is a combination of the standard Custom Boxes cardboard or corrugated exterior and die-cut foam interior that is designed to the exact shape of your product. For the exterior, the price per GSM is usually 250-400 per GSM. Full CMYK/Pantone matching can be used on the outer surface of the printing. Sizes are fully custom and are based on your particular product size, not around a generic insert. Finishes can be matte, gloss, or Cardboard Boxes with Lids for a two-piece structure, which is matched up with a foam base. MOQ is scaled to your real business because there is no order quantity limit.
Industries in which it is used.
Empress packaging is essential for electronics brands to ship products that have delicate components without damage. It’s used by cosmetic companies in glass bottles and for fragile compacts that would break in normal packing. For retail brands that sell fragile gift products, it is a must to have the exact foam thickness to avoid shifting. Food brands using glass jars or bottles require the same protection for breakage during shipping. Foam lining is used for all sorts of products or irregular shapes that do not fit standard packing methods, by industrial and specialty product brands.
Selecting the appropriate Foam Packaging Lined Option
Make sure the foam cutout is designed to surround your product, and not a generic shape that allows some space to move around. Use custom boxes for actual shipment before going into full production. One of the most frequent errors is only considering the price of the foam density and selecting that based on cost, which may collapse under load and cause the product to be inadequately protected halfway through the shipping process. Another error is not taking a physical sample and finding out the fit after a huge order has been placed.
