Styrofoam Materials: A Packaging Miracle

Do you need styrofoam materials to protect your product during shipping? "Styrofoam" is actually a trademark of Dow Chemical Company for "extruded polystyrene foam" presently made for thermal insulation.

Packaging materials are actually not officially "styrofoam." They are instead made out of expanded polystyrene beads and should really be called "foam" according to the Dow chemical company. However, there are many types of foam and you know what we mean when we say "Styrofoam" so we will refer to those products as styrofoam.

Splitting hairs aside, these expanded polystyrene beads are great for shipping applications. They can be used as a loose expanded bead, or formed into shapes that cradle fragile objects during shipping.

These expanded polystyrene beads can come as sheets. There are also styrofoam shipping boxes, trays and containers.
