I have a regular customer who uses EPS as the backing for letters in sign making.  EPS is great for signs.  It’s light and durable at the same time.  Not only does it work for inside signs it’s also great for outdoor signs.


Coolers aren’t just for shipping food.  They can also be used to ship medications and vaccines.  I just sold a customer EPS coolers for distribution of the H1N1 vaccine.  What are your cooler needs?


I just sold a school two pieces of EPS for a large prop.  The school will be cutting the foam into a large face.  EPS is wonderful to use for props.  It’s easily cut and lightweight.  It can also be stored for reuse later.


Recently we have sold several EPS foam cone shaped christmas trees that will make their way into The White House. The trees are 72″ high it will be an amazing site to see.  Stay tune for pictures.  You too can decorate your business or home for the holidays with Foam cut to any design you can think of at a very low price.  Dare to be different call us with your ideas and we can make them happen.


This Tea Cup was carved out of 2 lb density EPS.  My customer used it for a prop in a photo shoot project. With EPS you can bring your imagination to life.

I sold a returning customer EPS for insulating huge garage doors this week.  One side has reflective poly film to reflect heat out in the summer.  The other side is covered with Haircell* to make it look nicer on the inside of the building.

Have you thought about insulating your garage or hanger doors?  Give us a call!

*Haircell is only available in certain parts of the country.


Even though the school year has only just started it seems parents are already planning for high school seniors’ all night graduation parties.  I quoted a customer a 36″ x 48″ x 96″ block of EPS to be carved into a giant shark.  The plan is to hang the shark from the ceiling as part of the party’s movie theme.

Best wishes for the school year to all students and parents!


I recently quoted a customer on a rather unique project.  He is going to make a smaller version of Stonehenge out of EPS and fiberglass.  He will shape the EPS himself to look more like the stones in the picture below.  The project will be displayed outside.

I had the unique opportunity to quote EPS pieces for a high school parade float.  The foam will be used to make a huge tiered cake.  EPS will also be used to cover the dow rods that will support the top two tiers.  EPS is being considered because it weighs less than wood and will be easier for the high school kids to work with.

We recently sold a customer EPS for packaging purposes.  They plan to use the pieces to fill a 2-1/4″ void left in the box to prevent the items from moving during shipment.

We also recently quoted a returning customer custom cut EPS pieces to protect glass bottles during shipment.  We are providing a custom wire cut center piece to fit the bottles since they aren’t a standard size.  Partnered with flat top and bottom pieces the bottles arrive at their destination safe and sound.
