Built to Stay Clean, Not Shed Debris
Standard foam is porous. It traps dirt, dust and grease, sheds fibers and breaks down over time. Our materials are rigid, durable and made to last.
- No foam fibers left on your tools or in the box
- Won't soak up dirt, dust or grease
- Lasts longer than foam board, so you replace trays less often
- Tools fit snugly and lift out easily

Why Aerospace Teams Choose GotFOD
[GotFOD's] Tool Control method has proven to be easy and effective. They provide quality shadow board trays with minimal work on our part; the tools fit correctly in place and are easy to remove when needed.
Easy to use. Staff have been very responsive. We expect it to stand up to normal wear and tear for a longer period of time than traditional foam board. This will reduce cost, and effort of periodic replacement.
Our location was previously cutting foam trays by hand and we averaged nearly 3-4 hours per tray… We can't thank [GotFOD] enough for introducing us to their system and helping us realize the excess cost and time being wasted…
