What foam insert are you referring to then. The most common is polyfoam and styrofoam but only one is used in phones and tablets but it won’t stop a stapler. If you have a third foam, you can let me know
Having a reasonable buffer area between the tech and the side of the box would, in fact, stop a stapler. This is why monitors, TVs, phones and tablets are usually packaged in boxes two-to-three times as deep as they need to be. To provide this reasonable margin for error. The type of buffer used is irrelevant, other than you trying to make me seem stupid, which I do not appreciate.
polyfoam wont because it's a thin layer meant to absorb impacts not stop sharp objects from going through. Styrofoam would stop a stapler cause it actually has a fair thickness but no one uses it for phones and tablets while they do for larger screens like tvs and monitors.
I'm not trying to make you seem stupid but when i point out only 2 types of foam are usually used in phone and tablet packaging and polyfoam is useless against sharp objects penetrating and asked you if you know of a third one. You can downvote all you want but dude, youre making yourself look stupid by claiming the foam used for phones is going to stop a stapler
And even aside from that, should people who design packaging be worried about idiots using a stapler on boxes with screens in them or is that just user error? How much idiot proofing should they put into it. Maybe putting a sign saying dont cut too deeply with a pen knife when opening this box for packaging should be next.
I mean even for gamestop employees, only one branch was dumb enough to do this
I assume he meant those thick foam like paper cartons that are in nearly all electronics packages that don't use styrofoam, and yes, either would stop a stapler because it normally puts more space than the length of a staple blade between the item and the outside.
You're the only one who said styrofoam.

Polyfoam? They’re not very thick, especially the ones used for phones and tablets. Theyre maybe one to 2 mm thick.
