Custom Foam
In order to provide the maximum level of protection and cost efficiency, often the best solution for custom packaging is foam. Customers from a broad array of industries rely on us at AFP, Inc. for our polyethylene, polyurethane, EPS, and a variety of other foam packaging. From engineering and design to manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution, we provide custom foam products that offer cost effective, flexible protection.
Polyethylene foam is one of the most popular choices for cushioning. Its closed cell foam provides an exceedingly high protection-to-cost ratio, making it one of the most effective and economical packaging options on the market. AFP, Inc. offers both virgin and recycled PE foam (minimum 65% recycled content) and recycling services for maximum sustainability.
We also produce a great deal of polyurethane foam packaging solutions. This material is an open-cell foam and is useful for packaging light or fragile products, mostly due to its low density. It is available in an array of colors and in an anti-static varieties.
Expanded polystyrene, also known as EPS, is one of the best-known foam solutions in the industry. Better known as Styrofoam, EPS is used heavily in the construction industry and for a full range of additional products.
Efficiency and quality are very important to us. We help ensure maximum efficiency for our customers with programs that include just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing, vendor-managed inventory (VMI), and Kanban services. Our facilities includes a substantial delivery fleet to ensure packaging arrives when it is needed. Our quality system is based off ISO 9001:2008 standard and meet or exceed the standards of the Institute of Packaging Professionals and the AICC.
