Product OverviewWhat is EVA & PE Foam?
EVA Foam (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) and PE / EPE Foam (Polyethylene Foam) are two leading anti-shock cushioning materials in the packaging industry. SAM supplies both in roll, pre-cut sheet, liner or custom die-cut form — tailored to each product and customer requirement.
EVA Foam is softer and more resilient, commonly used for delicate electronics, cosmetics and premium touch products. PE Foam is lighter and firmer, ideal for industrial and mechanical goods packaging and logistics. Key advantages:
- Effective shock & vibration absorption — protecting goods during transport and storage.
- Custom die-cut — precision-cut to exact product shape, no shifting during transport.
- Logo & identity printing — printed directly on foam surface to your brand requirements.
- Waterproof & clean — non-dusting, safe for components and food contact.
- SGS export certified — internationally inspected, suitable for Japan, USA, Australia, EU.
EVA & PE Foam is the shaped inner lining, typically combined with Danpla boxes & partitions and Danpla plastic sheet to protect goods. For high-value items, add air bubble wrap to fill voids — part of SAM's range of protective wraps and cushioning liners.

ComparisonShould You Choose EVA or PE Foam?
EVA and PE Foam are both anti-shock cushioning materials, but they differ in softness, finish and cost. The table below helps you pick the right one for the product you need to protect — send a sample and SAM will advise the optimal material:
| Criteria | EVA Foam | PE / EPE Foam |
|---|---|---|
| Softness & resilience | Soft, highly resilient | Firmer, moderate resilience |
| Surface & finish | Smooth, premium feel | Standard, industrial |
| Density | 30–80 kg/m³ | 15–45 kg/m³ |
| Cost | Higher | More economical |
| Die-cutting | Excellent, crisp edges | Good |
| Best for | Delicate electronics, cosmetics, gift boxes, tool trays | Box lining, industrial goods, void-fill cushioning |
Selection GuideChoosing Foam Density by Application
Density (kg/m³) determines the firmness and load capacity of the cushion. Choosing the right density protects goods optimally without wasting material:
| Density | Characteristics | Suggested use |
|---|---|---|
| 15–25 kg/m³ | Soft, light, economical | Scratch liners, void filling |
| 25–40 kg/m³ | Balanced resilience & load | Shaped trays for light goods, box cushioning |
| 40–60 kg/m³ | Firm, good load capacity | Tool trays, heavy or fragile goods |
| 60–80 kg/m³ | Very firm, crisp shaping | Premium trays, high-value goods |
ApplicationsWhere Is EVA & PE Foam Used?
Thanks to excellent shock protection and easy custom shaping, EVA & PE Foam is widely used across industries:
- Electronics: cushioning for chips, PCBs and sensitive components — anti-shock during transit.
- Precision mechanics: shaped trays protecting tools, bearings and machine parts from impact.
- Fragile goods: cushioning glass, ceramics, premium cosmetics and medical equipment.
- Logistics: lining cardboard or Danpla boxes, pallet lining for sensitive goods.
- Retail: product display cushioning, premium gift boxes, branded packaging inserts.
- Export: SGS certified for Japan, USA, Australia, UK and Russia markets.

FAQKey Questions Before Ordering
What is the difference between EVA Foam and PE Foam?
EVA Foam is softer and more resilient, used for goods requiring aesthetics and premium feel. PE Foam is firmer and lighter, suitable for industrial packaging and bulk shipments.
Can you die-cut custom shapes?
Yes — SAM die-cuts to customer drawings or physical samples with high precision, tailored to each component or product requiring protection.
Can EVA/PE foam be printed with a logo?
Yes — SAM prints logos, identity codes or brand information directly on EVA or PE Foam surface to customer requirements.
Is an ESD anti-static foam available?
Yes. SAM offers ESD/anti-static foam options for electronics and semiconductor applications — used as liners inside Danpla boxes and partitions to protect sensitive components.
Can SAM produce from a customer sample?
Yes — send a physical sample or technical drawing and SAM will advise on the right material (EVA or PE), thickness and optimal processing method.
What is the lead time and delivery?
Standard lead time is 5–10 working days depending on quantity and spec. Domestic delivery within Vietnam: 3–5 working days after dispatch; international: depends on shipping method.
What foam density should I choose?
Light scratch protection uses 15–25 kg/m³; box cushioning and shaped trays for light goods use 25–40 kg/m³; heavy or fragile goods need 40–60 kg/m³; premium goods requiring crisp trays use 60–80 kg/m³. See the density guide above or send a sample for advice.
Do you supply rolls or pre-cut sheets?
Both. SAM supplies EVA/PE foam in rolls for in-house processing, or as pre-cut sheets / die-cut shaped pieces to drawing — depending on your packaging workflow.
Can the foam be laminated in layers or multiple colors?
Yes. SAM laminates EVA/PE layers to the required thickness and combines colors for multi-tier trays or to distinguish component positions.
