When it comes to protecting your finished products during storage, shipping, or installation, choosing the right material isn’t just about cost, it’s about performance, efficiency, and long-term value. For decades, manufacturers have relied on cardboard sheets or bubble wrap as default solutions, but those materials come with serious limitations.
Enter WOW Pads from Frank Lowe: a smarter, cleaner, less expensive and more effective way to protect your products while improving your bottom line.
The Problem with Traditional Materials
Cardboard: Bulky and Ineffective
- Absorbs moisture, which can compromise product surfaces, especially metal or coated parts.
- Doesn’t provide uniform spacing, leading to product-on-product contact and damage.
- Breaks down under pressure, especially in humid environments or when compressed.
- Lacks adhesion, so you’re forced to tape or wedge it into place, wasting time and increasing labor.
Bubble Wrap: Wasteful and Inconsistent
- Easily punctured, offering little real protection for heavy or sharp-edged items.
- Takes up excessive space, reducing packing efficiency.
- Not recyclable in many curbside programs, creating sustainability issues.
- Labor-intensive to use, especially when wrapping individual items.
Why WOW Pads Are a Better Choice
Engineered for Protection
WOW Pads are made from high-performance materials like NeoRebond and Polyfoam, which are designed to absorb impact, cushion vibration, and prevent abrasion especially on delicate surfaces like powder-coated metal or glass.
Peel-and-Stick Convenience
Each pad comes with adhesive backing so you can apply them directly to your product. This eliminates the need for tape or extra hands during packing. They're easy to apply, stay in place during shipping, and remove cleanly with no residue.
Consistent Spacing = Consistent Results
WOW Pads maintain a uniform buffer between products, preventing contact that leads to scratches, dents, or rubbing during transit. That’s something cardboard and bubble wrap simply can’t guarantee.
Custom Sizes, Shapes, and Densities
Whether you’re shipping HVAC panels, stacked metal parts, art prints, or large glass panels, WOW Pads can be custom cut to your exact specs. No cutting, folding, or adjusting on your end.
Labor and Cost Efficiency
Because they’re so easy to apply, WOW Pads cut down packaging time and reduce the number of packing materials required. That means fewer labor hours, less material waste, and faster turnaround, all contributing to long-term cost savings.
Sustainability Advantage
WOW Pads generate less waste overall, since they replace bulkier and less efficient packaging.
Who’s Already Making the Switch?
Companies in the powder coating, metal fabrication, fenestration, electronics, and fine art industries are already using WOW Pads to protect products in transit and during installation. They’ve seen dramatic reductions in shipping damage, fewer customer complaints, and faster packing processes.
In fact, some clients have eliminated the need for cardboard or bubble wrap entirely by switching to WOW Pads streamlining operations and saving money in the process.
The Bottom Line
When you're evaluating your protective packaging options, it's time to ask:Why settle for outdated materials that don’t perform when WOW Pads do it better, faster, and more efficiently?
