Tool Control Foam

You should consider tool control foam if you need to organise and protect tools and smaller equipment.

Tool control foam is a two-colour foam for storing tools when not in use. Besides the individual recesses helping to organise tools, the contrasting colour of an empty pocket quickly highlights when a tool is missing. Besides improved organisation, tool control foam also protects items when placed inside a toolbox or other container.

As one of the UK’s largest foam converters, GWP Protective can both design and manufacture custom tool control foam and shadow boards to your exact specifications. Our experts can also advise on similar and complementary products to ensure your business-critical tools benefit from the highest level of protection.

Benefits of tool control foam

Your tools and equipment are vital to the smooth running of your business. Whether improving your workshop’s efficiency or aiding field operatives, shadow board foam can significantly improve protection and organisation. However, sourcing your tool control foam from GWP also guarantees a number of additional benefits.

The contrasting colour of the empty shadow board pockets provides a clear visual indication that a tool is not present. This warning can prevent loss of tools, theft, and staff arriving on site without the correct equipment.

Tool control foam can be crucial for safety. The visual check can help prevent foreign object damage (FOD) by highlighting, for example, if an engineer accidentally leaves a tool in an engine or machinery after servicing or repair.

Foam shadow boards can improve staff efficiency by allowing them to identify the tools they require more quickly.

GWP can further enhance your tool control foam by adding laser-etched part names and numbers for each tool.

A huge range of colours and foam densities are available, allowing tool-control foam to match your corporate or brand colours.

Any tool control foam that GWP manufactures is tailored precisely to the contours of your tools and equipment, enhancing protection and minimising damage caused by movement during transit.

You can use tool control foam as inserts to place within toolboxes and compatible protective cases or as standalone shadow boards for use in workshops and manufacturing environments.

Your tool control foam is designed by a team of UK experts using cutting-edge digitisation equipment to perfectly capture the shape of your tools and equipment.

Your custom foam is manufactured in a modern UK production facility, allowing complete control over the quality and enabling short lead times.
