What Are Foam Sheets, Foam Planks, and Foam Pads?

Packing foam sheets are flat pieces of cushioning material used to line, separate, and cover products inside shipping containers. Foam planks are thicker sections used for blocking, bracing, and cushioning larger or heavier items. Foam pads provide protection for specific surfaces, corners, or layers, with adhesive-backed foam pads available to help hold cushioning in place.
Foam Packaging Direct supplies these products in a range of materials, including polyethylene, cross-linked polyethylene, polyurethane, and anti-static foam, with options selected for your application. We cut sheets, planks, and pads to fit your box, carton, crate, tote, or tray. Polyethylene foam is a common choice because its closed-cell structure resists moisture and provides durable cushioning for repeated use. Our foam products are made for commercial and industrial packaging, delivering consistent protection order after order.
