When you pack a box for shipping, there is almost always some empty space left around the product. If that space stays empty, the item can shift and bump against the box walls in transit, and that is how a lot of damage happens. In this post, we'll look at PE foam loose fill , a void-fill cushioning material often called "star foam" , and how to use it well. What Is PE Foam Loose Fill (Star Foam)? PE foam loose fill is made from expanded polyethylene (PE) . Each piece has a star-shaped, gear-like cross-section, which is why it is widely known as "star foam." It is produced from LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) , a material valued for its flexibility and elasticity. The star-shaped ridges lock into each other and fill the empty space in a box without leaving gaps. The foam springs back after being pressed, so it absorbs shocks well throughout the journey.
