Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is arguably the most versatile and inexpensive packaging material available on the market today. Lightweight, flexible and strong enough to provide total protection for your product EPS is the perfect packaging material. We manufacture a number of standard polystyrene packaging designs that give a good idea of what is achievable. All of these designs can be tailored to meet your exact requirements.

Here at Custompac we manufacture all of our polystyrene on site and it accounts for around 80% of our total business. We employ the following manufacturing processes:

  • “Hot Wire Cutting Department” – Polystyrene Sheets & Blocks - Using state of the art auto-wire setting machines, resulting in high material tolerances and excellent surface finishes. Our Polystyrene sheets & blocks can be cut to suit your exact requirements and can be manufactured in any of our densities.

  • “Shape Moulding Department” – Moulded Polystyrene Shapes - For customers who require high volume, high quality, low cost packaging Custompac offers state of the art shape moulding machines. This department utilises the latest in vacuum moulding technology, giving cycle times that have only become possible during the last few years - and faster cycle times are directly reflected in the unit costs for you, the customer. A water content figure of only 5% by weight on expulsion from the mould is achieved by vacuum cooling, resulting in the final product having the lowest water content available in polystyrene mouldings. Tooling is a consideration for such mouldings, and to make it easy we provide a complete design to delivery service including free sampling and technical drawings.
    It's worth pointing out that we have established our own range of mouldings where the tooling has already been paid for these include corner protectors and boxes - please contact us directly for further details.

  • “CNC Machining Department” – Polystyrene Shapes & Trays - Ideal for the customer whose packaging volume cannot justify the tooling cost involved in shape moulding, we can provide computer controlled profiling and high speed routing alternatives in our EPS cutting department. Both of these methods offer an extremely high quality finished shape without the additional tooling charges associated with shape moulding. Suitable for customers that require medium to low volume packaging.
