Cushioning and separation by foam structure

Packaging Foams

Packaging foams are selected by product load, impact sensitivity, contact surface, required recovery and the geometry of the finished cushion. Compare EPE, EVA and sheet or bag formats through physical samples and a representative pack test.

Selection guide

Inputs that define a workable specification

Share these details together for a material, equipment and pack-method review.

Selection input	What to confirm
Product load	Weight, geometry, fragility and load-bearing points
Contact surface	Finish sensitivity, abrasion, staining and cleanliness requirements
Foam property	Material family, density, hardness, thickness and recovery
Fabrication	Sheet, profile, insert, sleeve, bag, lamination and tolerances
Package system	Carton or case clearance, restraint and environmental exposure
Approval	Sample identification and representative drop or handling test

Application context

Connect the material to the packing process

Pack performance comes from the product, material, equipment, placement and outer package working together.

Questions to resolve before approval

Use these points to prepare a representative trial and a controlled purchasing specification.

What information is needed for selection?

Provide the packed product, dimensions and weight, fragility or surface risk, current carton or load design, packing rate, distribution route and the acceptance test or customer requirement.

Should the material and equipment be selected together?

Yes. The material format, equipment settings, pack method and throughput need to work as one system. Confirm them through current documents and a representative packing trial.

How should a proposed pack be approved?

Build a representative pack, document material and settings, then use the agreed handling or transit test and inspect both the product and package.

Which documents should procurement request?

Request the current product or equipment specification, operating and safety instructions, applicable declarations, consumable references and service information for the supplied model.

Can one design be used for every product?

Only after the product range and distribution risks have been reviewed. Weight, geometry, fragility, surface finish, carton strength and route can change the required design.
