Pregis Partnership Strengthens Pro-Form’s Packaging Performance

Pro-Form Custom Packaging works with trusted vendors who consistently deliver quality, performance and reliability. One of the most important partnerships is with Pregis.

Pregis is a leading manufacturer of protective packaging materials. They are a key supplier of PolyPlank® polyethylene foam that Pro-Form uses across a wide range of custom packaging solutions.

High-Performance Materials for Real-World Protection

PolyPlank® polyethylene foam plays a critical role in Pro-Form’s packaging designs. Engineered for durability and consistency, PolyPlank® foam is ideal for protecting fragile and high-value components during shipping and handling. The material enables Pro-Form to create custom die-cut inserts that:
 

  • Secure parts in place 

  • Reduce movement during transit 

  • Maintain product integrity across the supply chain 


Packaging must perform beyond the design phase and material quality is a major factor. With Pregis as a supplier, Pro-Form has access to reliable foam that meets real-world manufacturing and logistics demands.

Supporting Sustainability Through Better Materials

Pregis also supports Pro-Form’s sustainability efforts. PolyPlank® Renew foam, made with recycled content, has helped reduce environmental impact without compromising protection. 

In fact, Pro-Form’s use of this material has contributed to a reduction of our carbon emissions. Pregis even recognized us in 2023 with the Purpose Renew award for our reduction of 50 metric tons of carbon emissions.

Additionally, Pro-Form recycles scrap foam through Pregis’ Foam Densifier Program. This program transforms the leftover foam pieces into compact logs that can be reintroduced into future materials.

A Partnership Built on Performance and Trust

The relationship between Pro-Form and Pregis has been forged in collaboration and shared goals. Vice President, Business Development Trey DeHart says that Pro-Form works with Pregis to solve customer challenges, improve packaging efficiency and support long-term sustainability initiatives.

“We work every day to reduce waste and support a circular economy at Pro-Form,” explains Trey. “Working with Pregis gives us the materials and programs we need to strengthen that commitment while continuing to deliver high-performance packaging solutions.” 

Delivering Better Packaging Solutions Together

FAQs: Packaging Companies, Pregis & Sustainable Solutions

By partnering with Pregis, Pro-Form ensures that every packaging solution is backed by high-quality materials and supported by a reliable supply chain.

1. What packaging companies work with Pregis?

Many custom packaging manufacturers and fabricators partner with Pregis to source high-performance materials like polyethylene foam. These companies use Pregis products to design custom packaging solutions for industries such as automotive, aerospace and industrial manufacturing.

2. What is PolyPlank® polyethylene foam used for?

PolyPlank® polyethylene foam is commonly used to create custom protective packaging, including die-cut inserts and cushioning components. It is engineered to protect fragile or high-value products by absorbing shock, reducing movement and maintaining product integrity during shipping and handling.

3. Are there sustainable packaging options that still provide strong protection?

Yes. Many packaging companies now use materials like recycled-content polyethylene foam, recyclable plastics and returnable packaging systems. These options are designed to balance environmental responsibility with performance, ensuring products remain protected throughout the supply chain.


4. How do packaging companies reduce carbon emissions?

Packaging companies reduce carbon emissions in several ways, including:
 

  • Using materials with recycled content 

  • Designing packaging that uses less material 

  • Improving shipping efficiency through better stacking and space utilization 

  • Implementing recycling programs to reduce landfill waste 

  • Partnering with suppliers that support circular manufacturing processes 
     

5. What happens to scrap foam after die-cutting?

Instead of being discarded, scrap polyethylene foam can be recycled through programs like foam densification. In this process, loose foam is compressed into dense logs, making it easier to transport and recycle. The material can then be reprocessed and used to create new packaging products.
