Plastazote® is a closed-cell, cross-linked expanded polyethylene foam (LDPE) that combines durability, versatility, and clean presentation in one high-performance material. Available in a wide range of vibrant colours and densities, it’s ideal for customers who want their products—or processes—to stand out.
Known for its excellent chemical and water resistance, UV stability and high durability, Plastazote® is often referred to as a "permanent foam". Its long-term usability makes it a sustainable, cost-effective choice for a wide range of applications, including:
- Presentation packaging and product display cases.
- Flight case inserts and tool control shadow boards.
- Reusable dunnage trays for assembly and production lines.
- Specialist machined components.
- Any application where a long-term foam solution is needed.
- Inserts for folding ‘Paper over board’ rigid boxes with magnetic (or non-magnetic) closures.
For applications requiring greater impact resistance, flexibility, or softness, we also offer Evazote® foam—another cross-linked foam from the same family. Made from EVA copolymers, Evazote® provides enhanced toughness and elasticity while maintaining many of the same performance benefits as Plastazote®. It's ideal for protective packaging where repeated handling, cushioning, or energy absorption is a key consideration.
At Excel Packaging, we manufacture custom Plastazote® and Evazote® foam packaging using precision CNC routing and die-cutting techniques. We can also bond the foam to a range of substrates including; corrugated cardboard, corrugated polypropylene (Correx®), paper honeycomb board, or timber—creating complete protective solutions tailored to your product, handling and supply chain needs.
Both materials can be heat-welded to themsleves or laminated with other materials such as brushed nylon, wood, or plastic, offering flexibility in both function and finish. Whether you're aiming to protect, present, or organise, Plastazote® or Evazote® deliver clean, professional results that last.
