Foam Inserts and Fabrication:
Allcases
specializes in manufacturing custom foam design inserts.
Allcases in house foam technician has been designing custom
foam inserts since 1985. No
foam is too complicated or too simple when it comes to protecting
your equipment. Allcases understands that your product is the life of your business.
Allcases is committed to making sure the case design is the
best possible solution for your transportation needs.
Let our foam technician make sure all factors of your
equipment have been taken into consideration before it is
transported.
Allcases
works directly with our foam manufacturer to insure that the right
type of foam is used in protecting sensitive electronic equipment to
transporting heavy tools. Climate,
altitude, water, equipment weight are just a few factors that must
be considered when designing a case.
Below
you will find some foam facts for you to consider. |
Cushion
Packaging
1. Glued Bolster End Cap - short lead time, low tooling
cost, high output
2. Convoluted Pad - maximum cushioning, minimum space
3. Thermoformed Tray - reusable, color-coded, tough
4. Corner Block - maximum protection, minimum cost
5. Expandable Grid - fits multiple products, reduces
inventory
6. Die Cut Insert - excellent positioning, fabric-like
surface
7. High Cushion End Caps - exceptional protection,
anti-static
8. Laminated Molded Pad - fine edge detail, molded in logo
|
Process
Organization Products

This table allows you to do the following:
- If you know the Fragility - you can predict the cushion thickness
needed for various drop heights.
- If you know the Cushion Thickness available - you can predict what
the G's can be expected from various drop heights.
- If you know the Drop Height that is required - you can predict what
cushion thickness is required to obtain various shock levels (G's).
