What is polyethylene foam?

Polyethylene (PE) foam is a widely used plastic material made from the polymerization of ethylene. It is a closed-cell foam, meaning it contains millions of tiny, sealed air pockets that give it excellent strength, cushioning, and resistance to water and solvents. PE foam is available in a range of densities and can be produced in both flexible and rigid forms.

At Box+Foam, PE foam is received in long planks, which are then cut to size and die-cut into custom shapes to create protective packaging tailored to your product.
