[Protect My Products](https://www.foam-industries.com/get-a-sample) ## Frequently Asked Questions ##### Is polyurethane foam good for protective packaging? Yes. Polyurethane foam is commonly used in protective packaging when shock absorption and vibration control are priorities. It provides softer cushioning than more rigid foams. ##### How is polyurethane foam different from polyethylene foam? Polyurethane foam generally offers softer cushioning and better vibration absorption, while [polyethylene foam](https://www.foam-industries.com/polyethylene-pe-foam-gallery) provides more rigid support and durability. The right choice depends on the product and shipping risks. ##### Can you work from existing packaging designs? Absolutely. We can replicate, adjust, or fully re-engineer an existing design. Many clients come to us looking to reduce cost, improve protection, or streamline assembly. ##### I have a product but I need a design for a package. Will you create something for me? Our strength is working *with* your design teams to create something even better. We *do* review existing designs for manufacturability, cost-effectiveness, and performance. We typically *do not* provide full-scale design and engineering services for brand new products. *However:* our team also doesn't shy away from a challenge. If you are looking for more heavy-duty design support, please still reach out. While it's not a core service, it is something we have provided on a case-by-case basis. ##### Do you sell raw materials? We do not. We source a wide range of closed-cell and open-cell foams, primarily from our partner [Pregis](https://www.pregis.com/). Other suppliers include: - [Future Foam](https://www.futurefoam.com/) - [Armacell](https://www.armacell.com/en-US) - [ARPLANK](https://arplankdirect.com/) ##### What are your sustainability initiatives? We support sustainable manufacturing and supply chain logistics by smart material selection, post-production recycling, and consumer education. You can dive into our sustainability initiatives on our [Sustainability Packaging](https://www.foam-industries.com/sustainability) page. ##### Do you build full packaging systems or only foam? Foam is our specialty, but we also build hybrid systems that use corrugated, plastics, custom wood components, and sewn parts when the design calls for it. On occasion, completed projects don't involve foam at all. If your goal is to get something from A to B without damage, to provide a bespoke kit, or optimize transportation, reach out to us!
