Foam for Safe Storage and Packing of Musical Instruments

Proper packing for musical instruments isn't just good practice; it's a necessity. Most musical instruments are expensive and extremely delicate. Good musical packaging can ensure that an instrument is always protected, and ready for the musician. Shipping musical instruments can also be fraught with complications, which is why we strongly recommend using our musical packaging foam. Our custom packaging solutions can help you protect your valuable investments.

Foam is an ideal packaging tool that ensures extra padding and structure so your musical instrument is not damaged or broken. Packaging foam for instruments can be custom cut to a specific shape, thus making it less prone to damage. Some foam packing can also be resistant to water, mold, and mildew. Many stringed and wind instruments are extremely sensitive to these, so the added resistance are a huge benefit. Electrical instruments have their own concerns, including potential static damage. With static resistance as an additional feature in some foams, choosing the right packing for your instruments can protect them from the potential for physical and environmental damage.

Polyurethane charcoal foam is a favorite for insulating a musical instrument because of its shock absorption qualities, but with enough cushioning to avoid damaging delicate mechanisms. This foam can be custom cut to your needs but is also available in solid sheets, eggcrate, and pick and pull to give the case the customized protection you need.

High quality musical instrument foam isn't only for one-time shipping or packaging. Even transporting instruments from the car to the gig can cause damage. Loading and unloading equipment by musicians and crew can be very hard on cases and the instruments within. Custom designed musical packaging can be the difference between an instrument arriving in one piece… or several. Even a single dent or crack can ruin or completely change an instrument's sound, so we offer the best quality foam to protect it.

Whether you are a music student just starting out, part of a symphony orchestra, or the owner of a musical instrument store, foam is an essential part of packing your musical instruments. Foam Factory is here and ready to help you find the perfect custom solution to protect your valuable instrument for years to come.
