PE FOAM ROLL
| Previous | 2 / 2 | Next |
PE FOAM ROLL
PE foam roll (Polyethylene foam roll) is a continuous length of expanded polyethylene (EPE) foam wound onto a cardboard or plastic core, offering the same outstanding cushioning, protective, insulating, and shock-absorbing properties as PE foam sheet but in a roll format that provides greater flexibility, convenience, and economy for high-volume wrapping, packaging, void filling, and surface protection operations. The roll format allows users to cut any required length on demand, minimising material waste and providing a continuously available supply of protective foam at the point of packing.
Thickness range : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 mm
Roll width : 100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 1000, 1200, 1500 mm
Roll length : 50, 100, 150, 200, 300m per roll
Thickness range : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 mm
Roll width : 100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 1000, 1200, 1500 mm
Roll length : 50, 100, 150, 200, 300m per roll
Key Characteristics
- Material: Expanded polyethylene (EPE) — non-cross-linked standard grade
- Cell structure: Closed-cell — waterproof and moisture resistant
- Surface finish: Smooth on both sides
- Color: White (standard); black, pink (anti-static), and custom colors available
- Form factor: Continuous roll wound on cardboard or plastic core
- Flexibility: Highly flexible — wraps around products of any shape and size
- Odor: Odorless and non-toxic
Key Performance Properties
- Superior cushioning — absorbs and dissipates shock and impact energy during handling and transit
- Vibration isolation — continuous foam layer isolates products from transport vibration
- Flexible and conformable — wraps around any product shape without tearing or splitting
- Moisture and water resistant — closed-cell structure completely repels water absorption
- Lightweight — adds negligible weight to packaged goods; reduces freight costs
- Odorless and non-toxic — safe for food contact, medical, and consumer product packaging
- Chemically inert — unaffected by most acids, alkalis, oils, and solvents
- Resilient recovery — returns to original thickness after compression; suitable for reuse
- Clean and non-marking — smooth surface will not scratch, stain, or mark product surfaces
- Easy to cut — cuts cleanly with scissors, knife, or blade dispenser; no tools required
- Thermal insulation — provides a degree of temperature buffering for temperature-sensitive products
- Cost-effective — low material cost per metre; high coverage from compact roll
Common Applications
| Industry | Application |
|---|---|
| E-commerce & Fulfillment | Wrapping individual products before placing in despatch cartons |

Laminated PE Foam Roll Variants
For applications requiring enhanced barrier or structural properties, PE foam rolls are available with laminated surfaces:
| Laminate Type | Properties | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| PE film laminated | Improved surface smoothness, moisture barrier | Food contact, clean room packaging |
| Aluminium foil laminated | Thermal barrier, reflective insulation | Temperature-sensitive products, cold chain |
| Bubble wrap laminated | Combined cushioning and foam properties | Maximum fragile item protection |
| Non-woven fabric laminated | Soft surface, improved scratch resistance | Polished metal, automotive panels |
| Self-adhesive foam roll | PSA adhesive on one side | Surface protection films, gasketing |
PE Foam Roll vs. PE Foam Sheet
| Feature | PE Foam Roll | PE Foam Sheet |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Continuous roll | Pre-cut flat sheets |
| Length | 50 – 300m continuous | Fixed sheet dimensions |
| Flexibility of use | Cut any length on demand | Fixed size — trim to fit |
| Storage footprint | Compact roll | Flat stack — larger floor space |
| Best for | Wrapping, void fill, high volume | Interleaving, case lining, inserts |
| Waste | Minimal — cut to exact need | Off-cuts from trimming |
| Dispensing | Roll stand or dispenser | Manual sheet separation |
