26 May 2021 Easy Guide To EPE Foam (Polyfoam)
Solve Your Packaging Problems!
EPE Foam (or 'polyfoam') is a soft, semi rigid flexible closed cell foam. It is great for packaging, for impact 'absorption', vibration dampening and surface protection.
Key Features:
- Thicker specifications (2mm upwards) have 'memory' and can provide protection against 'bumpy' impacts in transit (superior to bubble wrap or corrugated cardboard)
- Great 'clean' look enhances customer's first impression of your product
- No 'marks' from plasticiser transfer (this can be an issue with bubble wrap or cardboard)
- Very easy to customise - Rolls can be slit and/or perforated for time saving 'sheets'
- Economy - Cheaper than cardboard
- Wide range: 0.5mm to 12mm thickness and 1.2m and 1.5m rolls in a variety of thicknesses
Typical Solutions:
- 4mm-12mm thick polyfoam slit to 300mm gives great edge protection for 4x4 ute company canopy trays in transit
- In kits of furniture 1mm or 2mm polyfoam protects laminated surfaces from scratching and help to prevent damage
- Great 'safe' protection for powder coated products in transit
- Perforated and slit sheets (e.g. 100mm x 300mm) in 1mm or 2mm are great for safely wrapping small parts
