Soft foam inserts
Alongside hard foam inlays, soft foam inlays are among the most frequently used inlays for our cases. This is due to the particular versatility of the material and its elastic structure. Fragile and sensitive items in particular benefit from the soft padding. Soft foams from W.AG offer you many advantages:
Tailor-made production for optimum protection.
Customizableforvarious applications and objects.
Accurate fit through water jet cutting, lasering, milling.
Sample inserts for the possibility of preliminary testing.
Properties of flexible foam
Flexible foam impresses with its high elasticity, which ensures optimum cushioning and reliably absorbs shocks. It is temperature-resistant, sound-absorbing and harmless to health, which makes it versatile. Thanks to its flexible moldability, it adapts perfectly to different objects, while its durability and robustness ensure long-lasting protection. The soft padding effectively protects sensitive objects without damaging them.
Areas of application for soft foam insoles
Flexible foam inserts made of polyethylene or polyurethane foam have long been used for objects that could be damaged by shocks and impacts, for example
finest glassware
Precious ceramics
valuable art objects
medical devices
Precious ceramics
electrical / electronic devices
Musical instruments
scientific devices
Precision manufacturing with modern machinery
We combine state-of-the-art production techniques with comprehensive expertise. Each inlay is individually developed to meet the specific requirements of our customers from a wide range of industries. Innovative processes and precise planning are used to create inlays that offer tailor-made perfection – even with complex contours. We also offer customized design options such as individual embossing & laser engraving. We take quality, security and presentation to a new level. Please ask for a sample insert.
Design variants
We manufacture foam inserts individually for each case. They can be individually combined, e.g. PU studded foam for the lid and thermoformed inserts or hard foam inlays for the interior of the case. We manufacture our soft foam inserts in dark gray in the following versions:
with smooth surface
as PU dimpled foam
Sustainability of our soft foam insoles
Soft foam inserts are very resistant and robust, making them particularly durable. This reduces production costs and waste. With our ORGANICLINE range of foams, you can act even more sustainably. ORGANICLINE uses ARBOBLEND®, which is largely made from renewable raw materials. Like traditional foam inserts, the sustainable foam is also fully recyclable.
Personal advice and sample inserts
Do you need soft foam inserts that are perfectly tailored to your individual requirements? At W.AG, your wishes take center stage. Together we develop customized inserts for small and XL cases that not only offer optimum protection, but also present your items in style. On request, we can create a sample inlay in advance so that you can see the quality and precision of our production for yourself. Please do not hesitate to contact us!
Frequently asked questions about soft foam insoles
Soft foam inserts are not suitable for transporting or storing items that come into contact with chemical substances, as the material is less robust and not resistant to solvents. They are also unsuitable for items that are subject to strict hygiene requirements, as the foam can only be disinfected to a limited extent. In addition, the objects embedded in the foam should not be too heavy, as the high elasticity of the material can cause the inlay to deform and impair the protective effect. Hard foam inlays tend to be used for tool sets, e.g. screwdrivers, files or chisels as well as for bits, Torx and the like.
Our soft foam inserts are available in dark gray or black – for a discreet, elegant and serious impression. Our hard foams offer you a larger selection of colors.
Soft foam inserts are versatile, but there are also applications for which they are less suitable. One major disadvantage is durability: soft foam can wear out more quickly with intensive use, such as in a workshop or when storing tools such as screwdrivers, pliers or chisels. With heavy tools in particular, the foam can lose its shape and no longer provide the necessary support.
Soft foam inserts are often less robust when it comes to cleaning, which limits their possible uses. In addition, soft foam inserts are not ideal for use with tool sets for Torx and bits or socket wrench inserts, which are often used in workshop trolleys or on workbenches. Here, the flexibility of the foam could compromise tidiness and accessibility.
