In today’s fast-paced manufacturing and distribution environments, product damage during shipping, storage, or installation isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a direct hit to your bottom line. Whether you're dealing with delicate finishes, tightly stacked components, or uniquely shaped parts, the need for dependable protection has never been greater.
That’s where Frank Lowe’s WOW Pads come in. From powder coated fencing to aluminum shutters—and everything in between—these simple yet highly engineered pads offer an incredibly versatile solution that helps manufacturers across industries protect their products and their reputations.
What Are WOW Pads?
WOW Pads are die-cut protective pads made from high-performance, non-abrasive materials like NeoRebond and Polyfoam. Available with optional removable adhesive backing, these pads are designed to cushion, separate, and protect products during shipping, warehousing, and final installation. Their customizable shapes, thicknesses, and materials make them ideal for a wide range of applications where surface protection is critical.
Real-World Applications: Why WOW Pads Work Across Product Types
Powder Coated Fencing
Powder coated finishes are prized for their durability and vibrant appearance—but they’re also vulnerable to scratches and chips during handling. WOW Pads offer a soft yet resilient barrier between fence sections, preventing metal-on-metal contact and eliminating the need for rework or refinishing before installation.
Aluminum Shutters
Lightweight and often intricately designed, aluminum shutters require careful handling during transport. WOW Pads provide spacing and cushioning that prevent dents, scratches, or unwanted vibration during transit, keeping shutters showroom-ready upon arrival.
HVAC Panels and Flashing
Thin, finished metals—such as HVAC components or flashing—are particularly susceptible to bending and edge damage. WOW Pads can be placed strategically to prevent compression, maintain consistent spacing, and avoid costly dings that can delay installations.
Railings, Extrusions, and Architectural Elements
Long, narrow components like railings or architectural extrusions often shift or rub together in transit. WOW Pads prevent contact damage and preserve the clean lines and coatings of these design-critical parts.
Why Manufacturers Are Making the Switch
More and more manufacturers are choosing WOW Pads over traditional packaging like bubble wrap or foam sheeting. Here’s why:
