Introduction: What is Nomafoam Packing?
In a logistics-driven world, where product damage during transit can make or break a business, Nomafoam packing has emerged as a game-changer in protective packaging. Known for its resilient polyethylene foam structure, this cushioning solution offers a versatile range of densities and shapes tailored for everything from small electronics to large industrial components. Designed using an extrusion process, Nomafoam and the broader Nomapack System not only provide unparalleled protection but also ensure minimal material waste — making them both cost-effective and eco-friendly.
Manufactured by Belgium-based company NMC, Nomafoam is often referred to as “blue foam” due to its standard colour. However, it’s not just about aesthetics. It’s about delivering consistent, durable, and adaptable packaging solutions that reduce breakage, simplify logistics, and enhance customer satisfaction.
The Custom Advantage: Tailored Foam Packaging Solutions
One-size-fits-all packaging is a thing of the past. Companies across the UK are turning to custom-engineered foam packaging to meet the unique challenges of their industry. At Advanced Protective Packaging, every solution starts with a deep understanding of the client’s product — its size, fragility, handling, and transportation requirements.
Whether it’s a medical device, an industrial component, or an e-commerce item, the foam profiles — particularly Nomafoam packing — are designed to conform perfectly to the product’s shape. This custom-fit approach ensures optimal shock absorption and eliminates unnecessary movement during shipping.
Using tools like 3D CAD modelling, prototypes are created and tested to guarantee a secure fit before full-scale production begins. The result? Reliable, repeatable performance every time your product is packed and shipped.

Benefits of Nomafoam and Nomapack System
1. Exceptional Shock Absorption
Foam is naturally absorbent, but Nomafoam goes a step further. With its tailored extrusion and precise density control, it cushions products from the harsh impacts of drops, vibrations, and mishandling. This feature is crucial for high-value and sensitive goods.
2. Lightweight Efficiency
Despite its durability, Nomafoam packing is remarkably lightweight. This characteristic reduces shipping costs while maintaining the highest standards of protection, making it ideal for high-volume e-commerce businesses.
3. Customisable and Scalable
Through the Nomapack System, businesses can order foam profiles in a range of shapes — from corner protectors to edge wraps. These can be used as-is or customised further through cutting, shaping, or lamination, depending on the product’s needs. For large volume orders, customers can even specify unique colours.
4. Reduced Material Waste
Since Nomafoam is extruded directly into its final form, waste during manufacturing is significantly reduced. This not only helps with sustainability goals but also makes the product more cost-efficient for businesses.
5. End-to-End Service
Companies like Advanced Protective Packaging don’t just sell the foam; they provide a complete packaging solution. This includes matching boxes and cartons to the foam inserts, as well as providing bubble wrap, tape, and even consultation on sourcing third-party materials when needed.
The Nomafoam Difference in Industry Use
The adaptability of Nomafoam packing makes it indispensable across various sectors:
- E-commerce & Retail: Avoid negative reviews by ensuring products arrive undamaged.
- Medical & Healthcare: Protect sensitive instruments and devices from shocks and vibrations.
- Electronics & Technology: Safeguard gadgets from static and impact-related failures.
- Automotive & Aerospace: Maintain the integrity of precision parts during long-haul transport.
- Engineering & Manufacturing: Securely ship sharp or heavy components without risking damage.
No matter the use case, the Nomapack System ensures fit-for-purpose protection at scale
