How to Use Foam Rolls for Packaging

Using foam rolls is a simple and effective way to protect delicate or high value items during shipping or storage. Whether you're wrapping furniture, electronics, or ceramics, a foam wrap roll provides a non-abrasive, flexible barrier that prevents scratches, surface damage, and shock. Begin by choosing the appropriate packing foam roll thickness for your item—thinner foam for lightweight or scratch-prone items, and thicker foam for cushioning or void fill.

How to Prepare Foam Wrap Rolls

To prepare a foam wrap roll for use, unroll it on a clean, dry surface and cut it to size using scissors or a utility knife. If you're working with multiple items, you can pre-cut sheets from a larger roll and stack them for efficiency. For fragile items or metal parts, consider using Jiffy foam wrap or anti-static options to prevent surface damage or electrostatic discharge. If you're using foam rolls for packaging large items like furniture or appliances, measure the full circumference to ensure complete coverage and overlap.


How to Pack Items Securely Using Foam Rolls

To pack with foam securely, start by wrapping the item completely with your foam roll, ensuring that all corners and edges are well-covered. For extra protection, especially when shipping, double-wrap the item or use multiple layers. Secure the foam in place with packaging tape, or place the wrapped item inside a box with additional foam roll padding to minimise movement. For bulk orders or high-volume fulfilment, packing foam rolls can be pre-cut and used to line boxes or wrap products on a packing bench for speed and consistency.

Tips for Using Foam Rolls Efficiently

Always wrap items tightly but avoid stretching the foam, as it may reduce cushioning. Use wider rolls (e.g., 1000mm or 1500mm) for large or irregularly shaped objects. Combine foam rolls with corner protectors or void fill for extra protection during transit. Store your foam wrap rolls in a dry, dust-free area to maintain material quality.
