Say Goodbye to Clutter and Damage

How much time do you lose searching for that one specific tool? Are you concerned about expensive equipment getting damaged in transit? A disorganised toolbox or transport case isn’t just frustrating—it’s inefficient and can lead to costly damage or loss.

Our new service is designed to solve these problems permanently. We create custom shadow foam inserts that provide a designated, secure home for every single item.

What is Shadow Foam?

For those new to it, shadow foam is a high-density, incredibly durable foam that we engineer for perfect organisation. The real innovation is in its layered construction. We meticulously cut a recess for your tool into the top coloured layer, which reveals a contrasting, high-visibility colour beneath.

This creates a “shadow” of your tool, giving you an instant visual inventory. You can see in a glance if anything is missing, which is a game-changer for efficiency and tool control, especially in critical industries like aviation and automotive.

Beyond organisation, the foam provides unparalleled protection, cradling each item to prevent rattling, vibration, and impact damage. It’s the key to not only organising your assets but also preserving their integrity and value.

Our In-House Service: From Concept to Cut

We handle the entire process under one roof to guarantee quality and a seamless experience for you. Here’s how it works:

Consultation & Design: We start by discussing your needs and the items you want to store.
3D Scanning / CAD: For a perfect fit, we can 3D scan your tools or work from your existing CAD files.
Layout Optimisation: Our experts design an ergonomic and space-efficient layout, which you approve before we proceed.
CNC Precision Cutting: Our advanced CNC router gets to work, carving your custom design with incredible accuracy.
Quality Check: Before it leaves our workshop, we perform a final fit and finish check to ensure it meets our high standards.
