Pick-&-Pluck Foam


Pick & Pluck foam is a customizable protective foam insert designed to securely hold delicate or valuable items inside cases, toolboxes, and storage containers. It is made with pre-scored cubes that can be removed by hand, allowing users to create a fitted space without needing special tools or complicated cutting. This makes it a popular choice for organizing and protecting equipment such as cameras, electronics, instruments, medical devices, and specialty tools. Its ease of use, shock-absorbing qualities, and flexibility make Pick & Pluck foam a practical solution for both personal and professional storage needs.

Overview: Pick & Pluck Cube Foam is a customizable foam insert system that usually comes with your Pelican case. This innovative solution allows users to protect sensitive equipment during transport by creating custom foam inserts tailored to their needs.

Key Benefits:

  • Customizability: The foam features pre-cut cubes that can be easily removed to fit various shapes and sizes of gear by just using your finger.
  • Cost-Effective: More affordable than custom foam solutions, making it accessible for professionals and hobbyists.
  • Ease of Use: Users can quickly set up their foam by laying out equipment, marking positions, and plucking out the cubes as needed.

DIY Step-by-step foam setup

  1. Lay Out Equipment: Place items on the foam to visualize the arrangement.
  2. Mark Positions: Use tape or chalk to outline where each item will sit.
  3. Remove Cubes: Pluck out the cubes following the marked outlines.
  4. Adjust Depths: For larger items, ensure pockets are deep enough by adjusting lower layers.

Considerations to take note:

  • Modifications: Once cubes are torn off, they cannot be reinserted.
    You can consider using glue to fix it back. Here is a video link to demonstrate the repair to your Pick & Pluck foam.

  • Durability: The foam may degrade over time with heavy use. This is especially true when your items inside are heavy. You may need to change to a firmer foam material. For example: EVA or Closed Cell Polyethylene Foam (CCPE).
  • Limited Shapes: Best suited for cubic shapes; complex items may require additional modifications. You can cut out complex shapes using a simple penknife tool.

In summary, Pick & Pluck Cube Foam enhances Pelican cases by offering a flexible, protective solution for transporting equipment securely and efficiently.
