Why Choose Polyethylene Packaging?

Polyethylene foam offers an unbeatable combination of durability, flexibility, and protection, making it the material of choice for various packaging applications.

Assured and Repeatable Protection

We design packaging that fits your products perfectly and provides consistent performance, safeguarding against shock, vibration, and impact throughout transit.

Moisture and Chemical Resistance

Ideal for harsh environments, polyethylene foam resists moisture and chemicals, protecting even the most sensitive equipment.

Lightweight Yet Strong

By using polyethylene foam, you reduce shipping weight and cost — without compromising structural integrity or protection.

Packaging Foams We Use

We offer a wide range of polyethylene foams, each chosen for its unique performance benefits and applications:

  • Ethafoam – Resilient and ideal for heavy-duty protection
  • Stratocell – Lightweight with good cushioning properties
  • Jiffycell Polylam – Soft and flexible for lighter items
  • Nopaplank – Dense foam perfect for repeat-use transit packaging
  • Nomafoam – Flexible edge and surface protection
  • Plastazote & Zotefoam – High-performance technical foams for complex or high-value products

These foams are available in different densities and thicknesses and can be cut, profiled, laminated, or die-cut to suit your requirements.
