Double the protection, dissipates electrostatic charge and protects while in transit
Antistatic foam blocks protect electronic goods in transit by dissipating electrostatic charges while blocking and bracing medium weight items inside cartons. Made from pink polythene with a minimum of 30% recycled content, this rigid, unbreakable foam keeps its shape after repeated use, cuts to size, and can be safely interleaved between delicate objects without abrasion. The antistatic treatment warranty period is six months.
Sold in packs, priced per block.
Where do antistatic foam blocks work best?
Antistatic foam blocks work best in despatch areas that need to hold medium weight electronic goods securely inside cartons while reducing the risk of electrostatic charge build-up.
- Shipping electronic goods where anti static foam packaging helps dissipate electrostatic charges during handling and transit.
- Blocking and bracing products inside cartons where rigid polythene foam keeps goods in position instead of allowing movement.
- Protecting delicate items that need a non-abrasive interleaving material between surfaces.
- Repeated packing operations where the blocks must keep their shape after several uses and can be cut to size for a closer fit.
Not for
- Heavy industrial machinery or very high-load items where a foam block designed for medium weight goods will not provide enough load-bearing support. Use suitable pallet wrap for securing heavier shipments.
- Products that do not require electrostatic charge dissipation. For general cushioning, choose packaging foam instead.
- Moisture barrier protection, as these blocks cushion and brace rather than seal against water. Use polythene bags where containment is required.

Choose the right foam block
This product suits operations that need antistatic foam packaging for electronic items, with the added rigidity needed for blocking and bracing inside cartons.
- Choose antistatic foam blocks when you need to secure medium weight electronic goods in place inside a carton.
- Choose packaging foam when you need general cushioning for non-electronic products.
- Choose bubble wrap when you need flexible wraparound cushioning for irregular shapes and abrasion risk isn't a concern.
- Choose cardboard boxes when you need the outer transit pack to match the level of internal protection.
Product FAQs
Can the blocks be reused?
Yes. They're designed to remain rigid and keep their shape after several uses, making them suitable for repeat packing where the block size still fits the product.
Do they protect against electrostatic charge?
Yes. The antistatic treatment dissipates electrostatic charges, which makes the blocks suitable for shipping electronic goods.
Can I cut them to fit a product or carton?
Yes. You can cut the blocks to size to create a closer fit around the goods and reduce movement in the box.
Are they abrasive?
No. The polythene foam surface lets you interleave the blocks safely between delicate objects and avoids the abrasion risk that some cushioning materials can create.
How long does the antistatic treatment last?
The antistatic treatment has a warranty period of six months.
Also useful
- Packing tape for sealing cartons once the foam blocks have braced the contents.
- Packaging labels for marking cartons containing electronic goods or items that need careful handling.
