Fabricated Foam from Quick Pak Inc

There are hundreds of foam types and classifications. Some are specific to a particular application, while others possess qualities that make them ideal for many uses across multiple industries. The foam materials you choose for any given application impact performance and limit the fabrication techniques you can use to shape them, limiting your customization options. The foam you select can also impact your project’s budget, the cost of your product and its packaging, and other factors.  In short, choosing the right type of foam is crucial.

Our fabricated foam options are custom designed for a variety of industry applications such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, glass and many more. They are constructed utilizing polyethylene (PE), expanded polystyrene (EPS) and expanded polypropylene (EPP) foams. Product protection is the most important consideration of a foam packaging system and is affected by the weight, geometry, fragility, and sensitivity of the equipment or product.

Polyethylene (PE):  PE is a closed-cell foam that is durable and lightweight with high load bearing characteristics to help reduce packaging costs by using thinner and smaller amounts. Because it is resilient and flexible, it can take repeated shocks and combines vibration dampening and insulation properties with high resistance to chemicals and moisture to protect against damage. Polyethylene’s tear and compressive strength allows manufacturers to reuse it several times, reducing their costs and helping the environment. It is easily fabricated into a variety of shapes and sizes with inexpensive steel rule dies and custom cut patterns.

Expanded Polypropylene (EPP): EPP is a beaded product that has a low density, high elasticity, low compressibility, and a high deformation recovery rate. EPP provides excellent cushioning properties at lower densities, excellent energy absorption and multiple impact resistance. We can design and manufacture custom expanded polypropylene protective packaging in a wide range of densities, shapes, sizes, including profile shapes or 3-D dimensional assemblies, to help protect your product during the rigors of shipping.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS):  EPS is a rigid, tough, and lightweight closed-cell foam. Its advantage lies in the ability to produce products with different densities, and to be made into sheets or blocks of varying thicknesses as needed. It is an inexpensive material that helps keep shipping costs low. Expanded polystyrene can be used for almost any product, and we can economically and efficiently provide your company with a unique and custom design that will meet your protective packaging needs.
