Foam packaging guards your products during transit, to ensure they reach their destination unscathed. But how they protect starts with their shape. In this article, we’ll go back to basics to dive into the most common foam packaging profiles.
A foam profile is the shape of a foam part as seen from the side. There are a few common profiles that you’ll see. These shapes help cradle and protect products in transit or can be used as blocks to protect large items while moving (for example: moving a large machine from one area of the warehouse to another).

You’ll often find with complex parts like case inserts, that several different profiles are used together to create the perfect fit.
The right profile depends on your specific product, transit needs and budget. The best way to choose the right profile is to partner with a packaging expert who can recommend the right material, shape and size to serve your needs.
