Expanded foam is one of the most versatile and cost effective materials suitable for multiple applications in the market place. It is protective, lightweight, insulating, durable and easily branded. Simply adding a plate within a tool can personalise your product by creating lettering, numbers, logos, or even simple instructions (for example recycling directions).

Trade or product names are often included within customers’ expanded foam mouldings to enhance brand awareness and company image. But why stop there, why not consider texture and colour?

The standard flat surface of the tooling may be ‘etched’ to create almost any texture or pattern, such as leather or grained effects. These options are usually chosen for automotive applications or for display packaging, where the expanded foam plays a vital part in the aesthetic appeal of the product.
