Find the right replacement foam for your NANUK case. Explore Cubed Foam for a layout you create by removing pre-scored sections, Full Foam Sets for solid layers you cut to suit your equipment, and Custom Foam for a pre-cut application-specific insert. Start with your case model, then choose the foam type that matches how you want to organize and cushion your contents.
Nanuk Foam Inserts
Replacement Foam Interior Configuration Case-Model Fit
Choose your foam category by how you want to prepare the interior: remove cubes, cut solid layers, or select a ready-made equipment layout.
Cubed Foam Full Foam Sets Pre-Cut Custom Foam
Match your exact NANUK case model first, then check the foam type, included layers, and equipment fit.
Nanuk Foam Inserts
All three protect equipment the same way, by holding each item still so nothing moves against anything else in transit. What separates them is who does the cutting: you, nobody, or us.
Foam options
Every option is made for a specific Nanuk case, so start with your case number. Then pick based on how precise the fit needs to be and how much of the work you want to do yourself.
Pre-scored foam you pull apart cube by cube to shape a pocket around each item. No knife, no template, no measuring.
Best for: Most people, most of the time. The quickest route to a fitted interior at the lowest price.
The complete stack of layers for a case, including the lid pad, supplied as a set rather than as individual pieces.
Best for: Replacing a tired interior outright, or starting over after a layout no longer suits the kit.
Foam cut precisely to your equipment, with clean edges, finger reliefs, and pockets sized to the items rather than to a grid.
Best for: Repeatable kits, presentation-grade interiors, and anywhere a plucked layout will not do.
Which one do I need?
If you are torn between the options, one of these normally decides it.
If yes, Cubed Foam is the answer. It takes minutes, needs no tools, and the result is genuinely snug.
If the case is sound but the interior is flattened or torn, a Full Foam Set restores it without replacing the case.
If the same layout has to be repeated across several cases, Custom Foam makes every one identical.
Before you order
Foam is cut for a specific Nanuk case, and a close model number is not a fit. Check the number on your case before ordering.
Put the equipment in the open case and mark the positions first. Cubes do not go back in, and a rushed layout is the main reason foam gets replaced early.
Keep at least one cube of foam between pockets and around the edges. Pluck the walls too thin and items press against each other exactly where you wanted separation.
An item can fit the footprint and still stand proud of the foam. Measure your tallest piece against the usable depth so the lid closes without pressing down on it.
If you expect to add an item within the year, leave space for it now. It costs nothing at the plucking stage and a whole foam set later.
For custom foam, the more detail the better: item dimensions, weights, how they are removed, and whether a finger relief is needed to lift each one out.
Cubed foam rewards ten minutes of planning. Custom foam rewards a good equipment list.
The questions people ask before buying foam for a Nanuk case.
Cubed foam is pre-scored into small squares so you can pull out the cubes where an item sits and leave the rest supporting it. A full foam set is the complete stack of layers for a case, supplied together including the lid pad. People usually buy cubed foam to create a fitted layout and a full set to restore an interior that has worn out. If you are not sure which suits your case, send us the model number and we will confirm what is included.
No, and this is worth knowing before you start. Once a cube is pulled it will not hold in place again. Lay the equipment in the open case, mark the outlines, and check the layout twice before removing anything. If your kit changes often, padded dividers are usually a better long-term buy than repeatedly replacing foam.
Leave at least one full cube between pockets and around the outside edge. The foam wall is what stops two items striking each other when the case is dropped or knocked, so a wall plucked too thin defeats the purpose of separating them in the first place. Heavier items deserve more.
You tell us the case model and what goes inside, including dimensions, weights, and how each item needs to be lifted out. We work out a layout, cut the foam to it, and you receive an insert that drops straight into the case. It costs more than cubed foam and takes longer to produce, and in return you get exact pockets, clean edges, and a layout that can be reproduced identically across a fleet of cases.
Sometimes. It is worth it when the contents are valuable enough that a snug plucked pocket is not good enough, when the case will be opened in front of clients, or when items need to sit in an exact position. For a single case of general equipment, cubed foam usually gives most of the benefit for a fraction of the cost. Tell us what you are packing and we will give you an honest answer.
Often yes. Foam sets are built from separate layers, so a layer that has been plucked wrongly or has worn out can sometimes be replaced on its own rather than buying the whole set. Send us your case model and tell us which layer you need and we will confirm what is available separately.
Dealer support
We have been specifying cases and cutting foam since 1989. If you are unsure which option suits your equipment, ask before you pluck rather than after.
Send your case model and item dimensions and we can sanity check the layout before anything is cut.
Request a quote with your equipment list and we will come back with a layout, a price, and a lead time.
Outfitting several cases the same way? We can make sure every interior comes out identical.

A sealed case still lets contents shift. Foam that holds each item still is what turns case protection into equipment protection.
When every item has one pocket, a missing piece is obvious as you close the lid rather than when you arrive on site.
Foam is the cheapest part of the case and the part that decides whether the expensive part inside survives the trip.
Send your case model number and a list of what goes inside with rough dimensions. We will tell you whether cubed foam will do the job or whether custom is worth the difference.
