The Best Foam for Tool Boxes and Equipment Cases

Foam for tool boxes is designed to keep your expensive and valuable equipment safe from damage.

Our foam inlay for tool boxes offer ultimate protection and pristine presentation for all your equipment needs.

What kind of foam is used in tool boxes?

There are two main types of foam that is used in a tool box – these are Expanded Polyethylene and Expanded Polyurethane. 

Expanded Polyethylene

Expanded Polyethylene is a lightweight, closed-cell foam used for impact and shock absorption and surface protection. It can be easily shaped and cut to size, making it perfect as a tool box foam liner. It is also an excellent heat insulator, as well as being bacteria and rot resistant.

Expanded Polyurethane

Expanded Polyurethane is a softer, open-cell type of foam that has varying degrees of firmness. As the cells are open and not crossed-linked, air can flow throughout the foam, making it lightweight whilst also providing cushioned support.

Expanded Polyurethane is flexible, non-abrasive and tear resistant, all while providing excellent shock absorbency.

What is the best material for toolbox organisation?

Both Expanded Polyethylene and Expanded Polyurethane are shock absorbing, making them perfect for a variety of equipment from work tools to cameras.

Both types of tool box foam are durable and resistant to wear and tear, providing maximum safety and cushioned support for whatever type of equipment you own.

Tool box foam usually comes in the form of layers of a black foam and a bright coloured foam. The black colour can be cut away, revealing the coloured foam layer below, which is where your piece of equipment would sit. This means you can easily see if an item from your kit is missing.

The foam not only helps with neat organisation, but helps save time hunting for tools by allowing you to immediately see what is missing or being used from your kit. 

Best types of tool box and equipment case foam

There are a few varieties of tool box foam which you can choose from depending on your storage needs.

Shadow Foam Inserts

Shadow foam is 100% polyethylene, designed to allow you to cut cleanly around your equipment and easily peel away top layers to reveal the coloured layers beneath. This means that we can create professional-standard foam liners for toolboxes, equipment cases and much more.

Custom Foam Boards

The design of custom foam boards means you can create a dedicated and exact location for each piece of your equipment. With just a quick glance, you will be able to see when something is missing.

The custom design leads to uncluttered, health and safety compliant workspaces.
