Pick and pull foam sets are thick foam packing material with perforations that create removable cubes. Sections of foam can be plucked out of the sheet in cubes to create a shape that conforms to valuable items such as camera and video equipment, expensive machine parts, or firearms. Items placed in the contoured hollow of the foam are secured for shipping. The shock-absorbing foam prevents items from shifting in transit, and protects items from damage such as scratches, dents, and breakage. Pick and pull foam sets can be fitted inside heavy-duty Pelican style cases.
