You need a creative packaging design that’s cost-effective and shipping friendly.
You’ve come to the right place.
Great looking packaging starts with eye-catching graphics, but it also needs to withstand the perils of shipping. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is the perfect packaging material — lightweight, flexible, and strong enough to provide maximum protection for your valuable goods.
Standard Wire Cut Sheets & Angles
Pre-cut and precise, wire cutting machines use super-heated nichrome wires that vaporize EPS, resulting in sloping curves and ruler straight edges. Our EPS sheets are made to order and can be purchased in different densities and thicknesses. Standard tolerance is within 1/16th of an inch. To estimate a price, use our EPS Pricing Calculator. Please call for large volume discounts.
Molded Corners
When it comes to corners, we’ve got the market cornered. Universal Foam’s stock inventory of molded corners and angles covers the entire spectrum of sizes and shapes. If we don’t have the size or shape you’re looking for in our warehouse, Universal Foam can produce custom pieces for your needs.
Custom Molded Shapes
The beauty of EPS is that it can be molded into almost any size or shape. Inside each block of EPS is your unique design waiting to come out. Universal Packaging can custom mold a shape that works for your packaging and shipping needs. Turnaround times are quick from concept to completed molds.
EPS Industrial Noodles
EPS Industrial Noodles are the safest and most effective way to ship fragile, heavy and round objects. They offer several advantages over foam peanuts.
Where peanuts are loose packed in bags and take up a substantial amount of storage space, EPS Industrial Noodles are stored in tight rectangular “bricks” and when ready to use they expand to three times their stored volume.
Because of their shape and texture heavy objects shipped in foam peanuts will eventually settle to the bottom of the carton eliminating the initial protection afforded by the peanuts. EPS Industrial Noodles interlock and are more rigid, securing the shipped item in place until it is removed from the carton.
Static electricity causes foam peanuts to create a mess every time you open a box where they are used. EPS Industrial Noodles remain in the box instead of sticking to everything as the carton is unpacked.
Industrial Packaging Noodles are a low cost, ready-to-use, minimum storage space required, alternative to foam peanuts.
