When designing your packaging, don’t overlook your custom foam insert as an extra chance to wow and inspire. The color, texture and overlays of your foam offer additional areas to design and create a cool unboxing experience. 

Use Text and Imagery

When designing your packaging, foam can be your canvas. Your foam inserts can be printed with any text or imagery right onto the material, which opens up new possibilities in your design.
