Frequently Asked Questions

PFI supplies a full range of foam packaging solutions, including die-cut inserts, foam planks, convoluted foam, EPE/EPP, EPS, XLPE, polyurethane, polyethylene, and ESD foams. We also provide top and bottom cushioning, as well as foam bracing. Each option is engineered for specific applications, ensuring your products receive the protection, stability, and durability they need in transit.

Yes. PFI specializes in custom foam packaging tailored to your exact product dimensions and handling needs. Using CAD design and free prototypes, we create inserts, blocks, and cushions that secure fragile or high-value items. From small electronics to heavy industrial components, our foam is engineered for a precise fit that reduces damage and lowers shipping costs.

Foam packaging is widely used across electronics, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, consumer goods, and industrial manufacturing. Industries choose foam for its shock absorption, vibration resistance, and ability to safeguard sensitive equipment. PFI tailors foam solutions to meet strict standards, ensuring compliance and consistent performance no matter your sector.

EPE/EPP foam is lightweight yet impact-resistant, making it ideal for automotive, industrial, and electronics packaging where flexibility is important. EPS foam, on the other hand, is rigid and lightweight, commonly used for molded blocks, corner guards, and trays. Both foams are excellent for protection, but the choice depends on your product’s weight, fragility, and environment.

Yes. PFI supplies ESD foam that prevents static buildup while providing cushioning. Available in both antistatic and conductive formulations, this foam is essential for electronics, circuit boards, and sensitive components. By using ESD-safe foam, you reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge damage while ensuring safe, reliable product protection during storage and transit.

CAD design allows PFI to engineer foam inserts and packaging with precision. By creating a digital prototype of your product, we design custom cutouts and inserts that fit perfectly. This process reduces trial and error, speeds up production, and ensures the foam provides exact protection where it’s needed most. Free prototypes let you test designs before full runs.

Many foam options, such as polyethylene and EPE/EPP, are recyclable, and PFI works with clients to minimize waste by optimizing designs. Additionally, pre-stretched films and reusable foam solutions can lower material use. While not all foams are biodegradable, we help you select the most sustainable options without compromising protection or performance for your products.

PFI provides next-day delivery across Southern California, including Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, Ventura, and Riverside counties. For businesses outside the region, we leverage nationwide distribution centers to ensure fast, reliable delivery. With Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) and Just-In-Time (JIT) programs, we make sure foam packaging arrives exactly when you need it.

Foam packaging offers superior shock absorption, vibration resistance, and cushioning compared to paper or cardboard fillers. It conforms to product shapes, providing tailored protection that reduces damage and returns. Specialized foams, such as ESD or XLPE, also offer added benefits, including static control, water resistance, and smooth finishes, making foam the ideal choice for high-value items.
