Pick And Pluck Foam
At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, we offer a comprehensive range of polyurethane foam sheets, stocked and converted to suit various industries and applications. One of our most popular products is Pick and Pluck Foam, recognised for its pre-scored cube pattern that allows for easy customisation.
Pick and pluck foam sheets are available in various thicknesses, including standard options such as 12mm, 25mm, and 50mm, often supplied in multiple layers for enhanced protection. Derived from jumbo master blocks, these sheets can be produced in large sizes such as 2m x 1m or 1m x 1m, or pre-cut into smaller pads suitable for case inserts.
For customers needing bespoke solutions, we offer custom-sized sheets, and our in-house conversion facilities can laminate, cover with foils, or apply self-adhesive surfaces to meet specific requirements.
Creating custom foam inserts is simple. Users can easily select individual cubes to adjust the foam, accommodating items of various shapes and sizes.
The foam’s cushioning properties absorb shocks and impacts, safeguarding delicate equipment and tools from damage during transport or storage.
Pick and pluck foam is adaptable for numerous applications, ranging from electronics to medical equipment and tools, offering a cost-effective and reusable solution for protective packaging.
Users can reconfigure the foam as needed for storage or transport. Simply pluck or rearrange the cubes to fit new items without wasting material.
Thanks to its durable construction, pick-and-pluck foam can be reused multiple times. Its flexible cube design allows for quick reconfiguration of layouts when moving or storing different equipment.
The foam provides excellent shock absorption and vibration dampening, helping protect fragile products during handling, shipping, or storage.
What is Pick And Pluck Foam
Pick and Pluck Foam Sheets are typically made from polyurethane or polyethylene and serve as protective packaging for delicate or valuable items. The sheets feature a pre-scored cube pattern, allowing users to remove individual cubes and create tailored recesses for objects of various shapes and sizes.
These foam sheets are commonly used for electronics, cameras, tools, firearms, and collectables, providing cushioning and support while preventing movement and potential damage. Available in multiple thicknesses, pick-and-pluck foam ensures a secure, snug fit within cases, boxes, or containers.

Why Use Pick And Pluck Foam?
Pick and pluck foam is ideal for protective case inserts because it combines softness, shock absorption, and flexibility. Its pre-scored surface allows for easy stacking or layering, enabling the secure accommodation of items with irregular shapes, such as cameras or precision instruments.
Sheets are available in various thicknesses and pluckable square sizes, ranging from 1cm to 1 inch, providing a perfect fit without the need for additional cutting tools. For maximum protection, foam layers can be supplied as a complete set, including a lid, base, and pluckable middle layer, creating a secure sandwich around the items.
