Protecting your assets.

We are an equipment packaging company that specializes in creating solutions that protect and enhance your valuable equipment.

Services Offered

We offer a full range of foam fabrication, case hardware fabrication, and ATA case fabrication services.

foam

Our specialty is foam. We can engineer and manufacture a foam solution for any type of application. From one-off custom CNC cut case inserts all the way up to high volume die-cut packaging solutions and everything in-between.

cases

We can design and fabricate any type of hardware for all case brands such as Pelican, SKB, Nanuk, Seahorse, etc. Whether you're mounting sensitive electronics inside or modifying the case to fit a special need, we have you covered.

ATA CASES

We can design and build custom ATA cases of any size or shape. ATA cases are custom-designed for transporting sensitive equipment like audio, video, and military gear. These cases are for projects where a standard hard case just won't cut it.

Built on time.

No more middlemen or missed deadlines: All jobs at Paxiform receive the same commitment and you'll work directly with an engineer the entire time.

Capabilities

We have vast experience in CNC knife cutting, milling, and die pressing foams of all types.

knife cutting

The majority of our foam inserts are cut on our CNC oscillating knife machine. Knife cutting is a fast solution for applications such as packaging, artistic, and cosplay projects. This machine is ideal for low to medium volume projects with a minimum radius limitation of about 1/8".

Tolerances:

+/- 0.1 mm (+/- 0.004 inches)

die cutting

For larger volume projects we offer die press cutting which, utilizing a die press. Die cutting works via a stamping-type process, making it well-suited for high-volume applications such as foam end caps. Ideal for simple 2D designs but requires an upfront mold purchase.

Tolerances:

+/- 0.5 mm (+/- 0.02 inches)

routing

Our CNC foam routing is commonly used to machine cross-linked polyethylene foam cutouts for tool organizing inserts on a large format CNC router. Routing is utilized for low to medium volume projects and is a popular choice for FOD inserts for the aerospace industry.

3D Printing

We now offer 3D printing as a service to our customers. Uses range from a custom part for a case to prototypes, detailed models, signage, and fixtures. We can print most common filaments such as PLA, PLA+, PETG, ASA, ABS, TPU, and glass or carbon infused variants.

*Varies by material & part

skiving

We can precisely produce foam of any thickness via skiving. Skiving involves removing layers from foam sheets to create the desired thicknesses required for foam fabrication. Sheets are fed through a band saw-type machine which can accept full sized 96" wide sheets.

Tolerances:

+/- 1/8 inches

convoluting

We offer foam convoluting for the majority of polyurethane foams. Convoluting is a process that uses rollers and blades to create a distinctive wavy pattern on foam with peaks and valleys. This process gives the "egg crate" look that is commonly seen in packaging designs.

Tolerances:

+/- 1/8 inches

A full selection.

We work with a wide range of materials including both closed-cell and open-cell foams. Read more about our selection here:

Materials

Built consistent.

First impressions are crucial. When a customer opens your product for the first time, the packaging is the very first item they interact with. That's why we prioritize consistency and quality above all else.

Unlike what is commonly found throughout the packaging industry—wet foam, bowed walls, mismatching corner radii, delaminating layers, or excess adhesive—we guarantee consistent protection and presentation every time.

When your a customer opens a product packaged in a Paxiform case or foam insert, they won't just see quality packaging; they'll know they've received the best from a company that cares about the details.
