At Fox Custom Foam, we do wonders for packaging and organization with a range of applications across many industries. But an important part of managing what you’re working with is where your tools go when the day is done. For that, our partners at Badger Mill Supply have you covered: A wide variety of tool chests, tool cabinets, tool cases and more are at your fingertips.
Tool cases are designed to be easily transportable. Cases are a great option for kitting that can be picked up and carried from job to job, in a truck or on a plane.
Benefits: Cases are made to be on the move. They offer organization and security for a limited number of tools. They keep items secure and rattle-free when traveling.
Challenges: They are light weight and have limited storage space.
Tool chests — or top tool chests — provide robust storage but do not have wheels and often are designed for the top of a bench or cart. Custom drawer inserts and kitting are available for all tool chests.
Benefits: Tool chests offer plenty of room for organizing a large number of tools for bigger projects and in-shop storage. Heavy-duty and not easily removed from a job site by trespassers.
Challenges: Not as portable as a case.
Tool cabinets offer robust storage with mobility. Custom drawer inserts and kitting services are available for all cabinets to reduce rattling and keep items organized and secure.
Benefits: Cabinets offer maximum storage for your tools and space for organization, along with security and protection. They can be transported in a larger vehicle. Wheels allow for easy movement at job site or in shop.
Challenges: They are not easily transported in a smaller vehicle or on a plane.
Rolling tool carts are mobile and often include open space for transporting large tools or tool chests. Custom drawer inserts and kitting services are available for all tool carts.
Benefits: Carts offer storage and organization with mobility and security.
Challenges: Transport, vibration
If improving organization is your goal, you’re in the right place. Our services include labeling and tool etching—which can include part numbers, tracking IDs, QR codes, logos, you name it. Imagine: Every slot in your tool chest uniquely labeled.
That’s some top-notch tool inventory control.
For most of our foam drawer insert or tool tray projects, we recommend closed-cell polyethylene foam for its flexibility and durability. It hangs tough through daily wear and tear and upgrades your organization game. Our popular 2-pound polyethylene foam and its perfectly snug fit greatly reduces vibration—and the racket that comes with it.
Custom tooling kits enabled super streamlined processes
“Fox Custom Foam created custom tooling kits for my company and made the process super streamlined. We provided what we needed, and they gave proofs and allowed feedback to get exactly what we wanted. The foam was super durable and fits the tooling beautifully while leaving room to grab the tool easily and keep the tool secure.”

Everything fit perfectly
We had a hard time keeping track of our tools when Fox Custom Foam suggested using foam inserts. The process was simple, they took the tools we had on stock and arranged our boxes to make sure everything fit perfectly. When something didn’t line up, they were quick to fix the issue. This made inventory 100 times faster!”
