Shape Moulded Product Packaging
Plasti-Fab can supply you with the correct shape and density you need with our shape molded products. One of the key benefits of shape molded parts is to provide shock absorbing packaging, with an unequivocal fit by specifically designed molds, which is unique to your needs.
Shape Molded EPS is strong and versatile while providing cushioning, protection and remaining environmentally safe. EPS can be molded into multiple shapes, curves, dimensions and more which allows you more options for your shipping and packaging needs, while keeping the weights down.
- Excellent protection and cushioning
- Available in a wide range of types and densities
- EPS contains NO CFC's, HFC's or HCFC's
- Short lead time
- Precise fit to you needs
- Ability to produce 3-Dimensional shapes
- EPS is not weakened by water
- Provides thermal protection
- Recyclable
