Abstract: A foam packaging assembly for protecting an article includes one or more pads including at least one corner pad and at least one side pad disposed between the corner pads, a packaging container configured to receive the article or an inner box storing the article, and a configurator determining one or more dimensions of the container based on at least one input variable of the article or the inner box. The configurator further determines a number of the pads for placement inside the container such that the article with the pads is protected during storage or transport. Further, the foam packaging assembly includes at least one insert board configured for placement over the article inside the container, and the configurator determines one or more dimensions of the insert board when the insert board is selected to be disposed inside the container.

Abstract: A foam packaging pad for enclosing and packaging an article includes a single sheet of material having a top section, a bottom section, a plurality of wall sections, and at least one first extended section configured to extend from one of the plurality of wall sections toward a side of the bottom section connected to the one of the plurality of wall sections. The single sheet of material includes a plurality of cutting portions cut through an entire thickness of the material and a plurality of connecting hinge portions connected between the plurality of wall sections and the bottom section such that each of the plurality of wall sections is positioned in an angle relative to the bottom section. Further, the wall sections are configured to be folded substantially perpendicular to the bottom section to form a container for receiving the article.
