How do I test simple perpendicular clearances around a product in a foam cut-out?
The item sits centred without rotation. Negative results identify overlap or insufficient clearance. No protective performance is inferred.

These are the example inputs from Insert clearance check. Replace them in the tool to run your own case.
| Cavity width (mm) | Item width (mm) | Cavity length (mm) | Item length (mm) | Required margin per side (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 124 | 112 | 168 | 160 | 4 |
Example result
Narrowest side margin · 4 mm
