Pelican Foam Types: Pluck Foam vs Solid Foam

Pelican cases use two main types of in-stock foam. The right choice depends on what you are protecting and how you want to lay it out.

Shop by Foam Type

1. Pluck Foam (Pick-N-Pluck)

The most popular foam option for Pelican cases. Pluck foam comes with a pre-scored grid that you pull apart by hand to create custom-shaped cavities for your gear. No tools needed. Available for every major Pelican case size.

2. Replacement Foam Sets

Complete multi-piece foam sets cut to the exact interior dimensions of each Pelican case model. Each set typically includes a pluck foam layer, solid base pad, and convoluted lid foam. Drop-in fit with no trimming required.

3. Anti-Static Foam

ESD-safe foam inserts for protecting sensitive electronics, circuit boards, hard drives, and lab instruments that require dissipative handling. Our anti-static pluck foam carries a surface resistivity in the 10⁹–10¹¹ Ω/sq range, the standard "static-dissipative" classification, and is available in pre-cut sets for most Pelican Protector and Air case sizes, or cut-to-order for custom layouts. If you're shipping anything with exposed semiconductors, opt for anti-static.

Looking for fully custom-cut foam shaped to your exact equipment? Foam cutting for non-stock layouts lives on our Custom Foam Cases collection, pre-designed precision inserts paired with Pelican cases, plus a fully custom design service for any piece of equipment.

Frequently Asked Question About Pelican Foam Inserts

What type of foam comes with a Pelican case?

Most Pelican Protector and Air cases ship with a three-piece foam set: a pick-n-pluck (pluck) foam layer, a solid base pad, and a convoluted egg-crate lid insert. Some Vault and economy models may ship with different configurations or no foam. Check the product listing for your case model to confirm.

How do I know which replacement foam fits my Pelican case?

Each foam set is made for a specific Pelican case model number. Use the "Find Foam by Case Model" section above to locate the correct replacement. If your model is not listed, contact us and we will help you find the right fit.

What is pluck foam and how does it work?

Pluck foam, also called pick-n-pluck foam, is pre-scored into a grid of small cubes. You pull out the cubes by hand to create custom-shaped cavities that match your equipment. No cutting tools are needed. It takes about 10 minutes to set up.

Do you sell anti-static foam for Pelican cases?

Yes. We carry anti-static pick-n-pluck foam for Pelican cases. Anti-static foam is essential for protecting sensitive electronics, circuit boards, hard drives, and other ESD-sensitive equipment.

How much does replacement foam for a Pelican case cost?

Replacement foam sets vary by case size. Smaller cases like the Pelican 1120 start at around $15-20, while larger cases like the Pelican 1650 range from $100-150 for a complete set. Browse the products above for exact pricing on your model.

Are pluck foam and custom-cut foam different products?

Yes. Pluck foam is the pre-scored grid you pull apart by hand, fast, flexible, and shipped from stock for every major Pelican case size. Custom-cut foam is CNC or waterjet cut to the exact contours of your specific equipment, designed for repeated long-term use. If you're storing one or two specific items, custom-cut foam is the better fit. For mixed gear or one-off use, pluck foam is faster and more flexible.
