Questions and Answers
-
How Many Foam Layers Are Included Per Case Size?
Each set has a pre-cut cube layer, egg-crate lid foam and a cushioning base layer. The number of layers varies by case type; B&W does not publish a count.
-
What Tools Are Needed for Customisation?
No tools required. Optional: chalk or pencil for marking and a ruler for precise layouts.
-
Will the Foam Degrade Over Time?
B&W publishes no ageing, material or temperature data for the foam. The case itself is rated from -30 °C to +80 °C. This set is the replacement if your inserts wear.
-
Can I Trim Foam for Non-B&W Cases?
B&W makes these sets for its own cases only. In our experience the base layer can be trimmed with a sharp knife to fit another case of similar size.
-
How Does This Compare to Custom-Cut Foam?
Pick & pluck foam can be changed by hand in the field. Custom-cut foam gives an exact fit but has to be ordered: B&W's custom inlays need a minimum of 10 pieces, with about 10 working days for a sample and about 20 for production.
-
Which B&W Cases Work with These Foam Inserts?
Pick & pluck (SI) sets are offered for B&W outdoor.case Types 500 to 6800. For Type 7800 and the largest types, where B&W lists plain foam layers (FI), check with us.
-
How Do I Customise Foam for Different Equipment Sizes?
Place items on the top layer, mark the outline, then pluck out the pre-cut cubes by hand. Deeper cavities use additional cube layers.
-
Can I Reuse Removed Foam Cubes?
Yes. Store spare cubes for future adjustments or additional padding needs.
-
Is the Foam Water-Resistant?
B&W publishes no water-resistance data for the foam. Water and dust protection come from the IP67-rated case itself.
-
Does the Foam Resist Chemicals and Solvents?
B&W publishes no chemical-resistance data for the foam. If your equipment may carry oils or solvents, clean it before packing or contact us about custom inlays.
