Request Information
Polyethylene foam is a type of closed cell foam that is one of the most commonly used foams for products that need a high level of protection in transit. These foams are an excellent choice for the packaging of a wide range of fragile goods due to their vibration dampening, shock absorption, and insulation properties. The high load bearing characteristics of PE foam allow us to reduce your packaging costs by using less material, with the dual benefit of reducing the overall footprint of your package. Saving you money in both the cost of the package and the cost of transportation to its destination. Our recycling processes allow us to recycle the majority of the waste material helping to further our commitment to sustainability.
