Benefits of EPS

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)

Expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) is a plastic material that has special properties due to its structure.

EPS has outstanding shock absorbency and compression, which provides excellent protection for your products.

Composed of individual cells of low density polystyrene, EPS is extraordinarily light and can support many times its own weight.

Because its cells are not interconnected, heat cannot travel through EPS easily, so it is a great insulator.

OMEGA - Expanded Polystyrene PackagingExpanded Polystyrene (EPS) is about 98% air and 2% polystyrene.

Durable:
The exceptional durability of EPS makes it an effective and reliable protective packaging for all sorts of fresh food and other goods. There is no loss of strength in damp conditions, making EPS ideal for coolstore products. The material is moisture resistant, and the highest hygiene requirements are met.

Lightweight:
EPS is made up of 98% air, which makes for a very lightweight material which does not significantly add to the weight of the total product. This means that fuel costs are reduced and fuel emissions are lower than with alternative, heavier packaging materials. The reduction in emissions means less impact on global warming.

Insulates your products:
The thermal insulation properties of EPS help keep food fresh through the distribution chain. Worldwide, it is widely used to package fresh fish, vegetables and fruit - and for seed trays where it assists in the growth of the plants. It is also used by the pharmaceutical industry to package items that are temperature sensitive and that need to be transported around the world.

Versatile:
EPS can be moulded into any shape or form to meet your products protection and insulation needs. A small amount of EPS provides a whole lot of protection for your valuable stock.

Recyclable:
Our modern factory includes its own recycle plant. Our customers can return any damaged boxes or EPS packaging they no longer need. The EPS foam is crushed into small particles and converted into general purpose polystyrene.

No waste, no extra rubbish in tips. Impressive!
