Due to the aesthetically pleasing look and protective properties that polyethylene foam provides, it is becoming more widely used for prestige luxury packaging and display purposes within the retail industry.
Polyethylene foam is extremely lightweight, very tough, resilient, and flexible. This makes the foam ideal to convert for the retail market as it offers the complete package.
Jewellery pads, window displays, coins, perfumes, beverages, cosmetics, and window displays are some of the applications polyethylene foam can be used for.
If you are looking to rebrand your packaging, have a new product launch, or want to explore the benefits of using polyethylene foam for your products, please get in touch.
Polyethylene foam has many different variants which can be very specific to the end application. Some polyethylene foams have a very open cell structure that allows light to populate the cell structure. This gives it a sparkle aesthetic which is key for some point of sale campaigns.
There are also polyethylene foams available which have a very tight cell structure. It looks almost like suede, with a tight cell structure with nowhere for the light to penetrate. These foams have a matt finish.
Once you have decided on the type of finish you require for your application, you also need to consider the density of the foam. This is usually measured in kilos per cubic metre and generally ranges from 15kg up to 100kg and will be dependent on the application the foam is being used for.
Open cell Polyurethane foams are generally less rigid, dense as closed cell polyethylene foams, however these foams have their place in the retail / luxury packaging market.
