And what makes these foams special is that they can be transformed in many ways and be adapted to the dimensions and shape of each product.

Object protection

Foams are a key element for object protection. It is the most efficient way to ensure that the customer receives their purchase in perfect condition; either in online sales to ensure that the product is not damaged during shipment or in a physical store so that it is protected until it is used.

This type of foam has a great resistance to impacts, and also helps conservation since they do not absorb moisture.

The way you show them to your customers has a great influence. The aesthetic appearence is surely one of the most important aspects to get customer’s attention and make them feel the need to purchase the product.

And it is not only because they include some body lotion or an extra gift, but because they are marketed in a much more appealing  and careful way; a strategy that is always a success.

100% customizable

In addition, the conversion process is also unique and fully adapted to the client’s needs. From a simple die-cut foam, to cut foams, routed, with top surface finishes, digital printing, etc.

Lightness

Another advantage of presentation foams is their lightness. It is a perfect material for packaging, it hardly adds weight and protects the products very well.
