Please note that packaging foam is not fire retardant so cannot be used for upholstery purposes. Let's explore the different types of packaging foam supplied by eFoam.

Foam Wrap Rolls: Created from a closed-cell foam that is lightweight, this is the perfect foam to use if you're looking to either store or move items. This soft material, made of polyethylene foam, can be wrapped around objects to protect them against being scratched or scuffed. At the same time, it can be used to preserve heavier items. Available in a few widths, it's easy to cut this packaging foam to suit your needs with household scissors.

Packaging foam rectangle: this packaging foam can be made by us to suit your needs in terms of size. Just let us know the depth, width and length of the rectangle you need to protect your items. We also offer a convoluted rectangle – which is also be known as egg-crate or egg-profile foam. With a peak and valley appearance, your products will benefit from increased airflow, and it's the perfect packaging foam for transporting goods in boxes or cases.

Pre-cubed packaging foam: this foam is ideal for case inserts. Cubes can be removed individually to create a bespoke internal cut-out for items such as musical instruments, cameras, electronic devices, tools and other delicate parts. We offer Ethafoam pre-cubed foam too, which is perfect for high load bearing for your heavier equipment or Anti-Static ESD pre-cubed foam for electronic items.

Packaging foam sheet: Available as a flat sheet or a convoluted egg-profile sheet, this foam can be used to wrap items or to go inside cardboard boxes, or carrying cases such as briefcases or flight cases.

We also offer a pink packaging sheet known as AS22 (Anti-Static) which is designed for antistatic requirements in addition to a non-absorbent polyethylene sheet and a superior Plastazote closed-cell sheet. In our selection, you'll also find Ethafoam and reconstituted foam sheet of two different weights. No matter what you're looking for, we can help. If you're looking for packaging foam for a one-off shipment job, you want a continual supply of foam, or you need more information about which one is the best one for your situation, you can call us or email us to ask.

What do you mean by closed-cell foam?

Those who regularly use foam know that there are two types – closed-cell and open-celled. Open-celled is more like a sponge and foam like this will allow water to be absorbed. Closed-cell is a more rigid foam that has walls around each cell. With closed-cell, water cannot penetrate, and the foam is firmer to touch. As an example, swimming noodles are made from closed-cell foam.
