EPE foam board, sheet, and roll cotton selection guide

EPE foam, as the mainstream material of modern packaging, is widely used in various industries due to its lightweight, anti-collision, and cushioning protection characteristics. Faced with different forms of EPE foam - board, sheet, roll cotton, many customers often feel confused when choosing. Choosing the right model can effectively protect the product and control costs reasonably; Choosing the wrong type may not only waste budget but also fail to achieve the desired protective effect.
Based on years of customer service experience, we have compiled a practical shopping guide for everyone.

1.EPE foam board: suitable for deep processing and specific industry applications
The EPE foam board material is uniform, with stable thickness and good support and flatness. This type of material is usually purchased by deep processing factories and processed through punching, composite, bonding and other processes to make precision packaging liners or customized liners. In industries such as amusement facilities, sports and fitness venues, and furniture manufacturing, EPE foam boards are often used to make various cushioning and protective packaging.
If your product requires further processing or has high requirements for load-bearing support, sheet metal will be the ideal choice.

2.EPE foam sheet: widely used to meet the needs of multiple industries
Sheet material is a widely used form in EPE foam, with flexible thickness and easy punching and shaping.
At present, sheet materials have become the preferred choice for most packaging scenarios due to their versatility, especially playing an important buffering and protective role in various industries such as luggage lining, ceramic tableware, electronic and electrical, glass panels, photovoltaic power supplies, etc.

3.EPE foam roll cotton: continuous packaging, improving production efficiency
Cotton rolls, with their continuous rolling characteristics, perform excellently on production lines that require quick wrapping. In addition, rolled cotton can also be cut to length according to actual needs, greatly reducing seams and splicing, improving packaging efficiency while reducing material loss.

Generally, luggage factories, door and window furniture factories, or mechanical equipment manufacturers are more commonly used.
When choosing EPE foam, don't just look at the price, but also consider its applicability. Some customers choose to use thin rolled cotton packaging for heavy objects in order to save money, resulting in product damage during transportation, which is not worth the loss. Some customers are accustomed to cutting with sheet metal, but switching to sheet metal can actually save a lot of material costs.
