Packaging Foam Sheets UK for Protective Packing and Cases

Choose flat packaging foam for even cushioning and box lining, convoluted foam for case lids and irregular items, AS22 pink anti-static foam for electronics, Ethafoam STPE200 for semi-rigid transit protection, or a closed cell grade where a firmer, lower-absorption structure is required.

The All Foam range includes open cell polyurethane packaging foam, anti-static polyurethane foam, semi-rigid and closed cell polyethylene foam, cross-linked Plastazote foam and dense reconstituted foam. Each material behaves differently, so match it to the item, journey and environment.

The terms packing foam sheets and packaging foam sheets are commonly used for the same general product category. The important distinction is the exact foam grade, structure, thickness and intended use rather than the wording used to describe it.

Flat foam provides a consistent thickness across the sheet and is useful for lining, layering and bases. Convoluted foam has an egg-crate profile that can contact items at different heights and is often used in case lids or between irregular objects.

AS22 pink anti-static polyurethane foam is intended for packaging electronics and other static-sensitive items. Check the product data sheet and the exact ESD protection required by the component or system before ordering.

AFP30, AFP45 and Plastazote LD33 have closed cell, non-absorbent structures and are the main lower-absorption options on this page. Waterproof does not mean suitable for every outdoor or submerged application, so confirm the complete specification and installation.

Yes. Flat, closed cell, Plastazote and reconstituted sheets can be used to create protective case inserts when the grade and thickness suit the item. Measure the usable case interior, support strong areas of the item and leave finger access for safe removal.

Fire performance differs by grade. Flat packaging foam, convoluted packaging foam, Ethafoam STPE200, AFP30 and AFP45 are listed as not fire retardant. AS22 and the reconstituted grades have their own fire information. Always check the exact product card and technical data sheet.

General packaging grades are selected for protection rather than seating comfort. Use a suitable upholstery foam for furniture. Reconstituted foam can have both packaging and seating applications, but the complete product specification must still match the intended use.

Many packaging foam sheets can be cut with suitable tools to create liners, pads and case inserts. The method depends on the material and thickness. For non-standard sizes or more complex insert requirements, contact All Foam before ordering so the required format can be checked.

Allow enough foam to cushion and hold the item without making the package too tight. Consider weight, fragility, transport method, likely impacts, base and lid depth, and the space available inside the box or case.

Yes. A 10% foam sheet discount is applied automatically in the basket when the order contains two or more foam sheets. The qualifying quantity can include two of the same sheet or a mixture of foam sheet products.
