Reusable blocks for robust protection
The standard foam blocks are the perfect solution for robust and adaptable packaging protection. These packaging foam blocks are now made with a minimum of 30% recycled content, ensuring both superior performance and greater environmental responsibility. Ideal for blocking and bracing medium weight goods during delivery, these foam blocks offer exceptional protection for furniture, angled wooden objects, and sharp items. Unlike bubble wrap, they are non-abrasive and maintain their shape and rigidity even after multiple uses.
Available in seven different sizes, RAJA’s foam block packaging is versatile and can be tailored to suit your specific needs. Whether you need 300mm by 200mm blocks for stabilising smaller objects or 600mm by 600mm blocks for larger items like furniture, these blocks provide the perfect fit. With a density of 24kg/m3, they offer reliable cushioning and support, making them ideal for a variety of applications including electronics, glassware, and artwork.
These foam blocks for packaging are crafted from closed cell polyethylene foam, ensuring they are CFC and HFC free. Additionally, they are reusable, allowing you to cut them down to size and repurpose them as needed, providing ongoing protection for your valuable items.
RAJA’s foam block packaging excels in convenience, offering pre-made blocks that are easy to use and customise. They come in packs of 10 to 100, depending on the size required, and are sold per block, providing flexibility for any packing need. This makes them an ideal choice for both small and large-scale operations.
When comparing standard packaging foam blocks to antistatic foam blocks and self-adhesive foam blocks, it’s important to consider the specific requirements of your items. Antistatic foam blocks are preferred for electronic items to prevent static damage, while self-adhesive foam blocks offer additional convenience by sticking directly to surfaces, eliminating the need for additional adhesive materials.
How to use the standard foam blocks:
- Measure the dimensions of the items you need to protect. Select the appropriate size of foam blocks from the available options (200mm x 300mm to 600mm x 600mm) based on the size and weight of your items.
- If the foam blocks are too large for your specific needs, use a utility knife or scissors to cut them down to the desired size. Ensure the cuts are clean and straight to maintain the structural integrity of the blocks.
- Place the foam blocks strategically around the item to provide maximum protection. For blocking and bracing, position the blocks around the edges and corners of the item, ensuring they are snug but not too tight.
- Place the protected item into the carton or cardboard box. Ensure that the foam blocks are securely holding the item in place, preventing any movement during transit. If necessary, add additional foam blocks to fill any gaps and provide extra cushioning.
- For items with sharp or angled edges, place foam blocks directly on these areas to prevent them from piercing the carton or causing damage during transit. The non-abrasive nature of the foam ensures that delicate surfaces remain in their original state.
