Foam In Place Packaging.
Providing the ultimate protection for fragile or sensitive items. Foam in place moulds into the contours of the item while cushioning and retaining it in place during transit. Shipping Etc is the only shipping center to offer this system in Acadiana.

Offshore Friendly Cushioning System
Packing peanuts are frowned upon by offshore operators because they can be messy and difficult to dispose of. Our cushioning system utilizes a special three ply paper that is specially crimped together and provides far superior cushioning and void fill performance than packing peanuts. It is also recyclable and easy to dispose of.
