Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Foam Insert

Overview

Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate is a highly dense foam material that creates foam box inserts for luxury product packaging. EVA foam is incredibly versatile and is great at absorbing vibrations and impacts, making it ideal for packaging fragile or luxury products. In addition, it can bond well with adhesives making it convenient to create custom shapes and thicknesses to create the optimal support system for your product. This foam compared to other foam alternative like EPE or PU is the highest quality and adds immense value to the unboxing experience of your products. Our ethylene-vinyl foam inserts are available in a wide range of densities and colors.

Foam Fabrication Methods

Water Jet Cut

Process of cutting material with a high-pressure jet of water—ideal for producing extremely accurate shapes.

Knife/Router Cut

Process of cutting material using a router bit or knife—ideal for prototyping due to its imprecise finish.

Die Cut

Process of cutting material using a series of dies—ideal for simple two-dimensional cutouts.

Wire Cut

Process of cutting material using a heated metal wire to melt and vaporize foam to create clean, crisp cuts.

Laser Cut

Process of cutting material using a high-power laser beam to cut and vaporize foam for smooth edges.

Foam Finishes

Flocking

Fiber powder applied to any surface allowing for a soft velvety touch.

Paperboard Lamination

Additional paperboard glued to the foam surface.
