GRATNELLS Foam Insert, Blank, Grey, 270 x 395 x 5mm H

Gratnells' Blank Foam Inserts are protective foam trays designed to divide shallow F1 or deep F2 trays into organised sections. These polyurethane inserts offer a cushioned storage solution for fragile items and irregularly shaped equipment, protecting contents during handling and transport.

Compatibility & Construction

Each foam insert is manufactured in Portugal to fit Gratnells tray formats and is supplied as a standard deep 5mm blank. The inserts are made from durable polyurethane foam in a neutral grey finish and are sized at 270mm W x 395mm D x 5mm H to suit common education and laboratory tray systems.

Applications & Use

These tray liners are ideal for storing delicate items such as glassware, reagent bottles, test tubes, and boiling tubes, as well as classroom essentials like calculators, stopwatches, and safety goggles. The blank format is ready for custom cutting, so sets can be tailored to odd-shaped instruments or bespoke kit layouts.

Educational Benefits & Accessibility

Using foam inserts supports student independence by making it easy to check, monitor and return equipment. The organised layout reduces lost learning time and is an effective classroom adaptation for students with special educational needs & disabilities (SEND), improving accessibility and routine management.

Practical Points & Handling

Custom cutting allows rapid configuration for fragile or irregular items. Inserts simplify visual stock checks and make it straightforward to spot when an item is missing. They also facilitate the safe movement of trays around learning spaces without risk of damage.

Logistics & Warranty

Boxes are lightweight (approximately 0.01kg) and come in pallet quantities of 1500 for bulk supply. The manufacturer provides a five-year warranty, and the product is intended to provide long-term service in busy teaching environments.
