Types of Foam For Packaging You Should Know About
Source: Pinterest
There are 3 major types of foam used in packaging and shipping industries: expanded polystyrene (EPS), polyethylene (PE), and polyurethane (PU). Below is an overview of each of these foam packaging materials.
#1 Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
This is a very popular foam packaging material and is often chosen over other options because of its cost effectiveness and versatility. It has a wide array of applications in the packaging industry, especially when there is a need for durable, lightweight, and thermal insulating packaging.
Moreover, EPS is also used in creating foam sheets and packing peanuts which are commonly used in filling voids because they have good insulation properties. However, EPS foam sheets are not great choices if you are looking for a packaging material with good shock absorption properties. Since they are rigid, there is a chance that they might break when force is exerted into them. In these instances, polyethylene and polyurethane foam sheets are more recommended because they are better at absorbing shock during transit.
#2 Polyethylene (PE)
Polyethylene foams are among the strongest and most durable closed cell packaging foams in the market. They are popularly used because of their capability to withstand large amounts of pressure without getting damaged.
They are great for absorbing shock and dampening vibrations so they are commonly used to make rolls, planks, and end caps. You can place end caps around items to keep them in place and protect them from damages during the shipping process.
Moreover, polyethylene foams are often used in making large foam rolls with ⅛ inch thickness. They are ideal for providing your items with extra protection by using them to fill voids.
#3 Polyurethane (PU)
Polyurethane foams are a combination of the best qualities of rubber and plastic without the weaknesses of vinyl films. Meaning, they are not brittle and are easy to work with. They are also easy to modify so they can fit the needs of different applications. Custom foam packing shapes can be created using PU foams.
Moreover, polyurethane packing foams are commonly used in wrapping small and light shock-sensitive products. Aside from packing foams, polyurethane is also used in the following:
- Carpet underlay
- Synthetic fibers
- Certain adhesives
- Automotive suspension bushings
- Elastomeric wheels and tires
Bubble Wrap vs Foam Padding: Which is Better for Your Application?
Bubble wraps and foam pouches/sheets are the most common materials used for packing nowadays, but how do they differ? Below is a comparison of the two:
|
Bubble Wraps |
Foam Padding |
|
They have evenly-distributed bubbles that provide ultimate protection to items against vibrations, shocks, and accidental drops. |
They have smooth and soft surfaces so they are gentle to the item’s surfaces. They will not smudge or scratch the items so they are perfect for polished items like collectibles, fine artworks, and other delicate belongings. |
|
They are composed of air bubbles which make them heavier and they take up more space compared to foam sheets. |
They are thinner and occupy less space compared to other padding and cushioning materials so you can save on packaging and boxes used. |
|
They are bulky compared to foam packing wraps so they are more ideal for items with even surfaces. |
Since they are thinner, they wrap more closely around items which is great for protection against dirt and dust. |
|
Because of the bubbles, their bulky surface makes it hard to stack the packed items together. |
You can easily bundle or stack your packed items together. Plus, they give thermal insulation to temperature-sensitive items. |
When it comes to the similarities between bubble wraps and foam packing wraps, they are both affordable, lightweight, and non-biodegradable. They are the most lightweight and cost-effective packaging materials so they don’t add much weight to your items when shipping or moving. You can reuse them both for DIY projects, crafts, and home hacks. They also provide excellent shock absorption properties.
Although both materials provide excellent protection, your choice of packing material actually depends on the items you are going to pack. For large and heavy items, bubble wraps are more recommended. If you are going to pack glassware and other small fragile items, foam packing wraps would be ideal because unlike bubble wraps, they will not leave marks on the surfaces of your items.

Things to Consider When Buying Foam Wrap Rolls, Sheets & Pouches
Below are the most important things you should take into account when choosing foam sheets or pouches for packing your items:
- The size and shape of the items you are going to pack
- The width and length of the foam pouch or foam sheet
- Type of foam packing wrap (pouch, sheet, or roll)
- Foam thickness
- Purpose of use
- Puncture resistance
- Reusability
Tips When Using Foam Padding Rolls, Pouches, & Sheets
- Make sure to wrap your items in enough foam sheets or rolls if you choose to use them instead of foam pouches. You can use multiple layers of foam sheets/rolls.
- Gently shake your boxes to know if you put enough protective packaging. If you hear your item/s moving around inside, you need to put more foam packaging.
- Foam sheets and pouches are not ideal to be used alone so you need to use other cushioning materials, such as foam peanuts to fill voids inside boxes, to ensure maximum protection.
- Add tape to cut foam sheets/rolls to secure the items you are packing.
Frequently Asked Questions on Foam Pouches and Foam Rolls
1. Are foam packing materials durable?
Since foam pouches/sheets/rolls are made of tiny air bubbles, they are more durable compared to bubble wraps. Unlike foam packing materials, bubble wraps are made of larger bubbles that might pop at any time. However, you can eliminate this problem by using other packing materials in addition to using only bubble wraps.
2. Is foam padding more effective than bubble wraps?
Foam packaging and bubble wrap both offer superior protection, depending on your application. Bubble wraps are economical alternatives for achieving effective protection, especially in long-distance shipping.
On the other hand, foam packaging is more suitable for packing items with polished finishes and delicate surfaces because they can reduce marking, rubbing, and scuffing. They have smooth textures and are non-abrasive so they will not scratch and leave any marks on the item’s surface.
3. Are foam pouches and sheets recyclable?
Foam pouches and sheets are hard to recycle and not all communities offer recycling options for these kinds of materials. There are some areas, though, that can process foam materials so make sure that you check the available recycling options near you.
4. Can I use foam padding to pack electrical equipment?
Static electricity is less likely to build up in foam packing materials than in bubble wraps because of the way foam padding is constructed. This makes foam wraps ideal for sensitive parts and electrical equipment.
