FOAMplus® Foam-In-Place Packaging — A High-Performance Alternative to Instapak®

FOAMplus® is a high-performance foam-in-place packaging system offering businesses a cost-effective alternative to Instapak® and other proprietary foam-in-place solutions. With your own dedicated FOAMplus® dispensing system, you get the same superior protective packaging performance — custom-fit expanding foam that moulds perfectly around your product — without the high consumable costs associated with established proprietary systems.

Foam-in-place packaging is the gold standard for protecting irregularly shaped, fragile, or high-value products in transit. The expanding polyurethane foam creates a custom-fit cushion that eliminates all movement inside the box — dramatically reducing damage rates, returns, and customer complaints. It's widely used in electronics, medical equipment, automotive parts, aerospace components, and any application where conventional void fill simply isn't protective enough.

FOAMplus® is available as a complete system including dispensing equipment and consumable bags, in a range of sizes and foam densities to suit different products and applications. Full technical support and training provided. Fast UK-wide delivery from our Coventry warehouse. Call 02476 611234 to discuss your requirements or arrange a demonstration.

Reduce costs. Maintain protection. Simplify your packaging workflow.

About Foam-In-Place Packaging

Foam-in-place packaging uses two liquid components — polyol and isocyanate — to create expanding polyurethane foam that molds precisely around your products.

This method offers:

Excellent shock absorption
Space-efficient void filling
Consistent protection for fragile or heavy goods

FOAMplus® chemicals integrate smoothly for reliable foam generation and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can FOAMplus® be used with my existing foam-in-place machine?

In most cases, yes. FOAMplus® chemicals are compatible with many standard foam-in-place systems. Our technical team can verify compatibility and provide setup guidance.

Q: How does FOAMplus® compare in performance?

Users report equivalent cushioning, faster supply, and lower operational costs compared to traditional systems.

Q: Do you offer training or on-site support?

Yes — our engineers provide remote or on-site support for integration, calibration, and performance optimization.

Q: What is FOAMplus® and how does it work?

FOAMplus® is a foam-in-place packaging system that uses a chemical reaction between two components to create an expanding polyurethane foam. The foam is dispensed into a bag, which is then placed in the box with your product — the foam expands and moulds around the item, creating a perfect custom-fit cushion that protects against impact, vibration, and movement in transit.

Q: How does FOAMplus® compare to other foam-in-place systems like Instapak®?

FOAMplus® delivers equivalent protective performance to established foam-in-place systems at a lower cost per use. It comes as a complete standalone system with its own dedicated dispensing equipment — giving you full control over your packaging operation without being tied to a single supplier's consumable pricing.

Q: What products is FOAMplus® suitable for?

FOAMplus® is ideal for fragile, irregularly shaped, or high-value products where conventional packaging materials don't provide sufficient protection. Common applications include electronics, medical devices, automotive parts, scientific instruments, glassware, and bespoke manufactured components.

Q: What's included in the FOAMplus® system?

FOAMplus® is available as a complete system including dispensing equipment and consumable foam bags in a range of sizes and densities. Call 02476 611234 or browse the range below for full details.
