A FoamFrame interior is $5,326 cheaper over a 10 year lifecycle!!!
Think how much more that number could be if your valuable items get
damaged!
* Conservatively assumes no value for your labor time!
** Assumes UPS ground is $20 per shipment for the larger Pluck foam
case and $17 for the smaller FoamFrame case. UPS overnight is $60
for Pluck Foam vs. $45 for FoamFrame.
*** Pluck Foam disintegrates and therefore needs replacement at least
every 4 years.
