Foam

When building or upgrading a road case, flight case, or ATA case, selecting the right internal padding is crucial for safeguarding your valuable equipment. Our premium road case foam is specifically designed to provide robust protection against impacts, vibrations, and shocks, ensuring your gear arrives at its destination in perfect condition. We understand that finding the perfect foam for road cases can be a challenge, which is why we offer two high-performance options: EVA and EPE. Each type has unique properties that make it suitable for different applications, from lining foam travel cases to creating precise tool organizers.

We stock and sell two types of foam, EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) and EPE (Expanded Polyethylene), both available in black to offer a sleek, professional look. We've simplified the selection process by offering one carefully chosen hardness grade for each type, eliminating the confusion of a myriad of densities. Our high-density option is EVA with a 38-degree hardness, a versatile and durable choice that provides excellent cushioning. For a medium-density alternative, we offer EPE with a 25 kg/m³ density, which is renowned for its lightweight yet effective shock absorption.

Understanding the Difference: EVA vs. EPE Foam

• EVA Foam: Our high-density EVA foam is a closed-cell foam, meaning its structure is composed of sealed pockets of air. This makes it highly resistant to water, making it a great choice for cases exposed to moisture. It's also incredibly durable and resilient, capable of withstanding repeated impacts and maintaining its shape over time. This makes it the go-to high density flight case foam for delicate instruments, cameras, and electronics. The high rigidity and strength of EVA foam are excellent for creating precise, custom cutouts for tools and equipment, offering a secure fit that prevents shifting and rattling inside the case.
• EPE Foam: In contrast, our medium-density EPE foam is a semi-rigid, closed-cell foam. While also resistant to moisture, its key advantage is its excellent shock-absorbing properties. EPE is slightly softer and more flexible than EVA, making it an outstanding choice for general-purpose padding and foam for flight cases where you need a more compliant cushion. It excels at dampening vibrations and protecting against drops, making it ideal for packaging items of varying shapes and sizes. It's often used as an outer layer of protection or for lining the bottom and lid of a case.

How to Cut Our Foam Sheets

Creating custom inserts from our case foam sheets is a straightforward process, making it perfect for DIY enthusiasts. You don't need highly specialized tools to achieve professional results. For EVA foam, a sharp utility knife or a hot wire cutter is highly effective. A utility knife provides clean, straight cuts, while a hot wire cutter allows for intricate shapes and precise contours. For EPE foam, a sharp utility knife is usually sufficient, as its more pliable nature makes it easier to slice through. Always use a cutting mat and a straight edge to ensure accuracy. For complex designs, many people use templates created from cardboard or paper to trace their desired shapes onto the foam before cutting. The ability to easily customize our roadcase foam empowers you to create the perfect home for your gear, ensuring a snug, protective fit.

Beyond foam for road cases and foam for flight cases, our versatile foam sheets are also highly sought after for a variety of other applications. They can be used for general packaging, providing a cushioned layer around fragile items for shipping. The closed-cell structure of both EVA and EPE foam also makes them effective for insulation, whether for soundproofing or thermal regulation. The durable and resilient nature of our foam for cases ensures long-lasting protection, making it a wise investment for anyone looking to secure their assets. Whether you're building a new case or simply need to replace the protective case foam in an existing one, our products provide the quality and reliability you need.

Our commitment to quality means we only provide foam that meets the highest standards of durability and protection. When you choose our foam for cases, you're choosing peace of mind, knowing that your equipment is protected by a product engineered for safety and longevity.
