Why Use Foam?
Foam is a lightweight, flexible material that’s perfect for packaging, sealing, and insulation. It cushions fragile items, fills empty space, and reduces noise or vibration in industrial systems. We die-cut a wide range of foam types to meet your unique needs.
Common Applications:
- Protective packaging & shipping dunnage
- Custom-cut gaskets (with or without adhesive backing)
- Industrial insulation pads
- Vibration control for machines and HVAC systems
Our Foam Die Cutting Services
Types of Foam We Die Cut
1. Polyethylene Foam (PE Foam)
A closed-cell foam that’s strong and moisture-resistant. Ideal for rugged applications.
- Vibration dampening and cushioning
- Great chemical and heat resistance
- Meets Mil Spec A-A-59135 and A-A-59136
- Common in gaskets and shipping dunnage
2. Polyurethane Foam (PU Foam)
A soft, open-cell foam used where flexibility and softness matter.
- Great for packaging fragile items
- Weather stripping and insulation
- Flexible gasket solutions
- Meets Spec TSM-7702G, Chipped Foam
- Meets Mil Spec MIL-P-2651F
3. Expanded Polyethylene (EPE) Foam
A cost-effective foam that’s firm but light, perfect for volume packaging.
- Ideal for void fill and protection
- Reusable, great for returnable dunnage systems
4. Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) Foam
Known for superior energy absorption and durability.
- Used in automotive and appliance packaging
- Retains shape after repeated impact
- Meets TSM-7702G
5. Vinyl Nitrile Foam
High-density foam with closed cells for tough sealing jobs.
- Resists oil, water, and harsh chemicals
- Often used with adhesive backings
- Trusted in U.S. military-grade products (e.g., U.S. Army MRAP systems)
- Meets Spec ASTM-D-2475
