What Makes EPS a Top Packaging Choice?
“Expanded polystyrene packaging is non-toxic, chemically inert, non-irritant, rot-proof and 98% air.”
EPS, or Expanded Polystyrene, is one of the most efficient and affordable materials used in protective packaging. It’s known for its shock absorption, insulation, and exceptional lightness — all while being easy to handle and environmentally stable.
✅ Lightweight & Strong
EPS is composed of 98% air, making it the lightest protective material on the market. Yet it’s strong enough to cushion sensitive or fragile items during transit.
✅ Cost-Effective
Its manufacturing and material efficiency make it one of the most affordable solutions for both protective and thermal applications.
✅ Inert & Safe
EPS is non-toxic, chemically inert, and safe for food, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive products.
✅ Easily Customised
Expanded polystyrene Manchester blocks can be cut, shaped, or moulded to suit any packaging configuration or design requirement.

- ✅ Available in multiple densities and fire-retardant options
- ✅ Cut to size or supplied in standard block formats
