Expanded Polyethylene for your Packaging

Expanded polyethylene is a lightweight and flexible material widely used as packaging. Obtained through the expansion of plastic material, packaging made from this material offers significant impact resistance, is odorless, and easily storable in warehouses.

It is a lightweight and flexible material, capable of adapting to different shapes and effectively protecting objects within the packaging.

Indeed, thanks to its flexibility, it can be molded into various thicknesses and densities: by studying the wrapping and protection needs of each individual product or component, customized and tailored packaging can be created for every requirement.

Moreover, foam packaging is completely recyclable as it is reusable and does not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

Expanded Polyethylene Packaging or Cardboard Packaging?

We have seen the characteristics of expanded polyethylene, but is packaging made from this material preferable to cardboard?

Thanks to our experience, we at Gruppo Serafin know very well that it depends on the business needs and the product that needs protection. Both materials are very effective and provide high protection.

For the technology sector, it is preferable to choose expanded polyethylene products, while for the furniture sector, we have found a preference for the use of cardboard.

If you want to investigate in terms of environmental sustainability, both expanded polyethylene and cardboard are easily recyclable materials, making both products an ecological choice.
