Protective & Cushion Packaging
Cushion Foams
Cushion foams that our team can use to create your custom cushion packaging solutions include:
Crosslinked/XLPE foam
Cross-linked polyethylene foams, or XLPE foams, are an effective solution for high-impact packaging. They feature chemically cross-linked materials and a micro-cellular structure that has a smooth surface, excellent shock absorption, and chemical- and water-resistant properties. The impact and resistant properties of cross-linked polyethylene foam makes it suitable for reusable and returnable packaging, which helps increase sustainability.
Beaded EPE/EPP foam
Beaded expanded polyethylene (EPE) and expanded polypropylene (EPP) foams are a great choice for many cushion packaging applications. These products can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they are very lightweight with a very high strength-to-weight ratio. These foams are also resistant to water and chemicals as well as being nonabrasive, which is ideal for products that have Class A surfaces. Both EPE and EPP foams are recyclable, and support sustainability efforts.
Polyurethane foam
This cushion foam has excellent shock absorbing qualities as well as the ability to quickly recover its original shape. It can be die-cut and heat sealed to form itself around any shape, and is resistant to water and chemicals.
Polyethylene foam
This foam type has properties that are similar to polyurethane foam while also being more cost efficient. This efficiency comes from the fact that polyethylene foam products are recyclable and reusable, which makes them a highly sustainable cushion packaging option.
