Profiles
Polyethylene profiles provide surface and edge protection to limitless packaging applications. Able to conform to just about any product contour, foam profiles are easy to use and withstand multiple impacts as well as constant vibration. They are available in multiple shapes and come in 72’’ sticks that can be cut to desired size.
Endcaps
Lovepac expertly designs your protective inserts in the most cost effective manner possible.
Recycled foam endcaps
Foam endcaps are the best solution for packaging fragile goods. Created from our “revive” recycled foam line, they are custom designed to fit your product so that it will be suspended inside the box during transport. All of our foam endcaps are custom designed to offer the best protective solution, at the best price.
Hinged foam end caps
Foam endcaps are the best solution for packaging fragile goods. Hinge style endcaps are created using foam that has a denser blue layer that is cut in specific places only. With this method called “kisscutting”, the blue layer will act as a hinge and create an endcap that is shipped flat and can be easily constructed when needed.
