Pick and Pluck foam

Pick and Pluck Foam — Foam You Shape Yourself

Pick and pluck foam is a pre-scored grid of small foam cubes that you pull out by hand to build a cavity around any object you own. No knife, no glue, no waiting — just press out the cubes along the shape of your piece and you have a custom, snug cavity that holds it firmly in place. It is the fastest way to get a tailored foam layout for miniatures, tools, electronics or collectibles, and it comes in a wide range of sizes and heights so you can match it to the case, drawer or container you already use.

What is Pick and Pluck Foam?

Every sheet starts life as a solid block of foam that has been pre-cut into a fine grid of cubes, held together just enough to stay flat until you need them. To shape a cavity, simply pluck out the cubes that sit under your model or tool, working outward until the recess matches its outline. Because the grid is fine, you can carve cavities for anything from a single large model to a whole army of small ones, and every layer you build stacks cleanly on the next for multi-level storage.

Why Feldherr Foam?

Feldherr foam is cut from a dense, durable material that keeps its shape layer after layer, so your cavities stay precise and your models sit securely instead of shifting in transport. The surface is soft against painted details, keeping finished models scratch-free and color-true for the long run. Every sheet is available in a matching family of sizes and heights, so you can mix trays inside the same case, top them with a fitted lid layer, and build a system that grows as your collection grows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is grid or cube foam used for?

Grid foam, also called cube foam or pick and pluck foam, is used to build custom-fit cavities for miniatures, tools, electronics, instruments and collectibles. You pluck out cubes to match the shape of each item, so it sits secure and protected during storage and transport.

How do I choose the right size and height?

Measure the footprint of your case, drawer or box first, then pick the matching size from the list above. For height, choose a tray at least as tall as your tallest piece so it stays fully protected; you can also combine two lower trays for extra depth.

Can I trim or cut the foam for a custom shape?

Yes. Beyond plucking whole cubes, you can trim the fine grid lines with a sharp hobby knife for rounded or irregular shapes, giving you full control over the final cavity.

What is pick and pluck foam typically used for?

It is popular for tabletop miniatures and board game pieces, but works equally well for camera gear, tools, measuring instruments, drones and any item that benefits from a custom-fit, cushioned home.

What material properties make this foam durable?

The foam is dense yet flexible, so it holds its cube structure over repeated use, resists compression, and keeps a soft, non-abrasive surface that protects painted or delicate finishes for the long run.
