Protect your delicate products with our robust and versitile foam pads
Self-adhesive foam blocks prevent movement inside cartons and help protect delicate products from knocks in transit. Made from white, non-abrasive closed cell polythene foam, each block has permanent self-adhesive on one side with a peel-off backing for quick fixing to carton interiors. The foam has a density of 35 kg/m³ and contains a minimum of 30% recycled content.
Supplied in pre-scored sheets for easy separation, with a choice of two block sizes and two thicknesses. Sold per pack, priced per pack.
Where do self-adhesive foam blocks work best?
Self-adhesive foam blocks work best inside cartons where products need spacing, cushioning and restraint during handling and transit.
- Packing delicate or finished goods where non-abrasive polythene foam helps reduce scuffs and surface marks.
- Immobilising contents in cardboard boxes where the adhesive backing fixes the block to the carton and limits movement.
- Separating items inside one pack where pre-scored sheets let packers snap off the required number of pads quickly.
- Protecting corners, edges and contact points where a closed cell foam block creates a cushioned barrier between the product and the carton wall.
Not for
- Heavy-duty void fill across large empty spaces. Choose void fill when you need to fill a full carton cavity.
- Wrapping large surfaces or irregular shapes. Choose foam packaging rolls when you need continuous non-abrasive sheet protection.
- Temporary positioning where the pad must be removed cleanly after use. This product has permanent adhesive on one side.

Product FAQs
Will the foam mark polished or delicate surfaces?
The blocks use non-abrasive closed cell polythene foam, so they suit applications where the contact point needs cushioning without rough edges.
How do packers apply the blocks?
Snap the required pad from the pre-scored sheet, remove the backing and press the adhesive side onto the chosen position inside the carton.
Does the recycled content affect performance?
The specification includes a minimum of 30% recycled content, with no change in product performance. Colour variation can occur.
Can the blocks stop all movement inside a carton?
They help prevent movement when positioned correctly around the product. For larger gaps, combine them with the right void fill or choose a more suitable carton size.
