What is a product positioner and why would you use one?
A product positioner is used when the product to be packaged is difficult or awkward to handle while placing it into the rising foam. A positioner is a block of polyethylene, polyurethane, polystyrene or wood used to lift, hold, center or help position the product to be packaged within the center of the shipping box. The thickness of the positioner is determined by the size of the shipping box and the amount of foam needed to surround the product. For example: If the product and the shipping box dictate that 2 inches of foam protection is needed, then fabricate a 2 inch thick piece of wood or other suitable material to act as a product positioner.
