Packaging Foam

Do you need some packaging foam? There are different kinds of packaging foam for sale, at different prices. Whichever type of foam you need will depend on your requirements. You can find a lot of information about the various types and their uses on the Internet. Here are a few examples that I got online.

1. American Foam Group manufactures a range of lightweight polyurethane packaging that affords maximum protection. The company’s flat packaging foam, which retails at $18.76 for a 2 ft. X 6 ft. X 1 in. sheet, is a lightweight, clean, and flexible product that is ideal for cushioning a swathe of items, such as delicate electronic components, fragile collections, and precision tools, from damage when being transported.

2. The same company produces a convoluted, egg-crate-shaped packaging foam that costs $19.58 for a 2 ft. X 6 ft. X 1.5 in. sheet. The interlocking egg shapes of this multi-purpose foam close tightly around products, limiting movement during travel.

3. EzeeCorner, also from the American foam Group, is an innovative and cost-effective method for protecting the corners of products during transport. This lightweight packaging foam retails between $58.59 and $62.25, depending on thickness and quantity. It comes in 3 different thicknesses: 1-inch, 1.5-inch, and 2-inch. It stores flat and can be easily folded into shape to accommodate most corners. It is ideal for protecting any item with corners that can be transported in a box.

4. American Foam Group also makes a multi-purpose, 1.7-pound density, black polyethylene foam that sells for $70.92 for a 2 ft. X 4 ft. X 3 in. sheet.  This foam is strong and long-lasting and water resistant and is particularly good for use in the wet; it makes good flotation material and is great for waterproofing. Other uses include protective padding, such as camping pads and cab linings.

5. SealedAir produce an innovative packaging solution called InstaPak foam packaging. This is an expanding polyurethane foam that can be applied on site and comes in a variety of systems. The foam-in-bag system allows you to create foam-filled bags that mold around the shape of the object to be packaged. The foam-in-place film involves spraying foam around an object that is covered in a special film, thereby creating a molded packaging. The company also produces an InstapPak insulation product designed to keep products cool, which can be shaped to the customer’s exact specifications, providing a cost-effective way to transport perishable goods. Prices for these products are available from the manufacturer.

These are just some of the many different types of packaging foam that you can find if you spend a little time browsing online. I’d suggest you spend a while looking for yourself to see if you can find a product that meets your requirements.
