Packaging foams are crucial for many industries, from pharmaceuticals to food and beverage packaging. Polyethylene foam is commonly used packaging material. It can protect lighter and more fragile products. It is also excellent for cushioning and positioning. These foams can be found in many forms, from extruded planks to laminated sheets. One of the most popular types of packaging foam is recycled polyethylene. Cross-linked polyethylene foam is another type, characterized by a compact feel. This material is cross-linked to produce a stronger chemical bond between two molecules.
