Dear Ariane,

Rampak is really good - it is a foam with little cells that you can pop out into the shape of the bone you want to store.

However, you would probably need a Plastazote lining or equivalent underneath though...

Hope this is helpful

Hello,
   I am looking for some sort of foam pad, ideally one that can be cut easily and is no more than 5cm (2") thick, to line specimen drawers and prevent bones from rolling around. Styrofoam is too messy to cut. All suggestions welcome! 
Cheers
Ariane
