Foam Protection

Signet's Polyfoam Protection, where quality meets durability, ensures that your items are shielded from potential damage during transit or storage.

What is Foam Protection?

Foam protection is a lightweight and protective solution for keeping delicate and fragile items safe. We offer a range of foam packaging to suit a variety of needs, from rolls of Polyfoam to versatile Instapak expandable foam. Foam is designed to cushion, insulate, and protect a wide array of items, ranging from fragile glass to robust stainless steel surfaces. Whether it's packaging for delicate glasses or safeguarding furniture during a move, foam protection will help!

What are the benefits and features of Polyfoam Protection?

Polyfoam brings a plethora of benefits to the table:

• Impact Absorption: Provides stellar cushioning against unforeseen impacts.
• Lightweight: Despite its cushioning prowess, it's surprisingly light, ensuring minimal addition to shipping weight.
• Water-Resistant: Offers protection against moisture and dampness.
• Versatility: Suited for a variety of products, from furniture and bedding to toys and electronics.
• Eco-Friendly & Recyclable: In today's eco-conscious world, Polyfoam aligns with sustainability goals.
• Non-Toxic & Safe: Made with materials that are safe for both users and the environment.
• Durability & Flexibility: It can withstand varying pressures and return to its original shape, making it ideal for repeated use.

What are the risks of using Polyfoam Protection with my packaging?

While Polyfoam Protection is a favourite among manufacturers and shippers, it's vital to understand potential risks. For extremely heavy items, solely relying on Polyfoam may not provide adequate protection. It's also crucial to ensure that Polyfoam is correctly sized and fitted to the item, as poorly fitted protection can negate its benefits. Lastly, while it's water-resistant, it's not waterproof, so submerging in water is not recommended.

Does Polyfoam prevent leaks?

Polyfoam is water-resistant, meaning it can effectively repel minor splashes or damp conditions. However, for products that are liquid-based or prone to leakage, additional packaging or sealing methods should be considered to ensure optimal protection.

Can Polyfoam be recycled?

Absolutely! One of Polyfoam's stellar attributes is its recyclability. Environmentally conscious businesses and consumers can rejoice in the fact that Polyfoam aligns with green initiatives, ensuring minimal impact on our planet.

How does Polyfoam compare to traditional bubble wrap?

Bubble wrap, a long-standing staple in the packaging world, primarily offers cushioning. Polyfoam, on the other hand, provides not just cushioning but also insulation, making it ideal for temperature-sensitive items. Moreover, Polyfoam's durability and flexibility make it a more robust choice for repeated uses.

Is Polyfoam suitable for soundproofing applications?

Yes, due to its dense composition and insulating properties, Polyfoam can also be used in soundproofing setups, offering a blend of comfort and noise reduction!

Signet’s range of Polyfoam packaging comes in three different thicknesses (1 mm, 2 mm or 4 mm) to suit a variety of needs. Polyfoam is great for maximum versatility when packing, as it can be cut, slit, and perforated to fit any size item, while being durable and tear resistant. It is extremely lightweight and won’t add any excess shipping costs for your customers, making it perfect for internal protection in shipping boxes.

We also provide Instapak Bags from Sealed Air in several size options. Instapak is another form of foam packaging suited to protect even the most obscure shaped items. It expands in seconds up to 27 times its original size and conforms to a custom shape to protect your item.

Instapak bags are ready to use immediately without the need for any specific machinery or tools, making it perfect for convenient, effective, and safe packaging. Instapak fits into standard mailing boxes, so it is an excellent product for all eCommerce businesses to have on-hand.
