When it comes to shipping heavy products, metal parts, industrial components, or oversized panels, the wrong padding can cost you more than just money. Dents, shifting, surface damage, or even broken shipments all lead to frustrated customers and returns.
The good news? Not all shipping pads are created equal. If you're looking for a proven, expert-recommended solution, Frank Lowe’s WOW Pads, including Super WOW Pads and Mega WOW Pads, are the industry gold standard.
Why Heavy Products Require Specialized Protection
Heavier items put more stress on packaging materials. Standard solutions like cardboard, bubble wrap, or foam sheets:
- Compress under weight
- Offer limited shock absorption
- Shift or break down during transit
- Often require overuse to achieve minimal protection
You need a solution that holds its shape, stays in place, and absorbs shock without failing. That’s exactly what WOW Pads are engineered to do.
WOW Pads: Built for Impact, Designed for Confidence
Frank Lowe’s original WOW Pads offer a reliable, non-abrasive buffer between products that prevents scratches, dings, and shifting during transit. Made from high-quality materials like NeoRebond and Polyfoam, they are:
- Custom die-cut to your size and thickness needs
- Moisture-resistant for stability in all weather conditions
- Soft-faced to preserve coatings, finishes, and surfaces
- Adhesive-backed for easy application and stacking
They’re already trusted across industries, protecting powder-coated panels, aluminum extrusions, handrails, electrical components, and more.
Super WOW Pads: For When Standard Protection Isn’t Enough
Super WOW Pads take things up a notch. Designed for products that are not just heavy but also require extra resilience, they feature:
- Increased density and compression resistance
- Ideal for stacking mid-weight to heavy materials
- Available in thicker cuts for greater spacing and shock absorption
- Excellent for products that are easily scratched or coated in high-end finishes
These are perfect when shipping components like:
- Weldments headed to auto plants
- Powder-coated panels over 100 lbs
- Fiberglass tanks or industrial enclosures
Mega WOW Pads: Maximum Compression Resistance
For the heaviest, bulkiest, and most unforgiving shipments, Mega WOW Pads are your best line of defense. These are the heavy-hitters of the WOW Pad lineup, built specifically for:
- Extreme compression resistance
- Secure load stabilization during stacking and skidding
- Maintaining shape under pressure over time
Mega WOW Pads are ideal for:
- Large aluminum extrusions
- Steel beams and building materials
- Heavy industrial machinery
- Skid and pallet void fill to prevent shifting
Using Mega WOW Pads can eliminate the need for excessive foam rolls or bulky spacers, saving both labor and materials while offering superior protection.
