Pads
Blocks, Cut sheet & pads
Sheet and Pads are converted from an expanded block which is 2440 x 1220 x 610mm. This can be cut to a sheet or pad thickness ranging from the maximum extent of the block to a minimum of 6mm. Pads are then cut from the sheet to the required size. Larger than block size items can be manufactured by gluing cut pieces together.

Box Liners & Polystyrene Boxes
Polystyrene can be cut into sets of pads to create a liner for cartons, or provided as a complete polystyrene box. Liners and boxes are used for a number of purposes, including protection for items to be packed or to provide an insulated space within the box. Polystyrene recognised as an excellent insulator, causes the internal and ambient temperatures to equalize gradually.

Moulds and profiles
The polystyrene is profiled using our CNC hotwire machines. We can achieve any two dimensional shape and where more complex three dimensional shapes and moulds are required, the profiles can be glued together.
All the programmes for the CNC profilers are created in-house. The shapes or profiles required can be from designs produced by our own Design Department, or developed from customer produced drawings or instructions.

Bottle Packs
Bottle packs are used for physical protection during transport or for presentational purposes. We manufacture standard 75cl bottle packs with the length of the pack to take a bottle up to 304mm. Non-standard bottle pack sizes can be manufactured as required.

Corner Protection
Corner protection can be achieved by using either corner blocks and/or chevrons. This creates a very simple way of packaging regularly shaped items, securing them within cartons or boxes.
