Foam Packaging-Cushioning

Foam is used as protective packaging due to it's unique shock absorbing abilities. We design solutions using variuos foam materials and manufacturing techniques. There are basically four different materials (polymers) and two main manufacturing techniques that are used to meet required specifications. Foams can be either moulded or converted. Moulding demands more complicated tooling but is often an economically preferable choice for large quantities.

Polyethylene (PE or EPE) is the most widely used polymer that can be moulded as well as fabricated depending on the requirements. It is a moisture resistant and resilient packaging material with good multi drop cushioning performances. One main feature with PE is the possibility to recycle it.
