Polystyrene Sheets & Blocks

Polystyrene sheets are a lightweight and versatile protective packaging material, providing cushioning and separation for products during storage, handling and transportation.

At KB Packaging, we supply Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) sheets in a range of thicknesses to suit different packaging requirements. Our standard sheets measure 2400mm x 1200mm, with options from 12mm through to 50mm thick.

Whether you’re protecting individual products, separating layers on pallets or creating additional cushioning inside packaging, polystyrene sheets provide a practical and cost-effective solution.

EPS Sheets for Protective Packaging

Expanded Polystyrene is particularly useful for packaging because it combines a lightweight structure with good cushioning and impact-absorbing properties.

Polystyrene sheets can be used to:

Cushion products inside boxes and crates
Separate products and prevent surface contact
Protect delicate surfaces from scratches and scuffs
Reduce movement inside packaging
Create protective layers between products
Fill larger voids around packaged goods
Provide additional protection around fragile items
Create bespoke protective packaging by cutting sheets to size

The sheets are easy to handle and can be cut or shaped to suit individual packaging requirements.

Polystyrene Sheet Thicknesses

Choosing the right thickness depends on the product being protected and the level of cushioning required.

12mm Polystyrene Sheets
A thinner option suitable for layering, separation and general surface protection.

25mm Polystyrene Sheets
A versatile thickness for cushioning and protecting products during handling and transit.

40mm Polystyrene Sheets
Provides additional cushioning where greater protection is required.

50mm Polystyrene Sheets
A thicker option suitable for applications requiring increased cushioning, separation or void filling.

Our range makes it possible to select a sheet thickness according to the size, weight and fragility of the product being packed.

2400mm x 1200mm Polystyrene Sheets

Our EPS sheets are supplied in a convenient 2400mm x 1200mm format, providing a large protective surface while remaining relatively lightweight and easy to work with.

The large sheet size is useful for protecting larger products or for cutting multiple smaller pieces from a single sheet.

Polystyrene can be cut to create custom shapes, pads, dividers and protective inserts, making it suitable for businesses with a variety of packaging requirements.

Polystyrene for Product Protection

Polystyrene sheets can help protect products from impact and movement throughout the supply chain.

They are suitable for applications including:

Manufacturing
Distribution
E-commerce
Export packing
Industrial packaging
Furniture protection
Machinery packaging
Fragile goods
Component packaging
General warehouse packing

EPS is also naturally lightweight, so it can provide cushioning without adding significant weight to a packaged product.

Polystyrene Sheets for Layering & Separation

One of the most common uses for EPS sheets is layering and separation.

Sheets can be placed between products or layers of goods to reduce direct contact and help prevent movement during storage and transportation.

This can be particularly useful when packaging products with surfaces that could become scratched, marked or damaged when placed directly against one another.

Polystyrene Blocks

As well as large EPS sheets, our range includes polystyrene blocks for smaller packaging and cushioning applications.

Blocks can be used around individual products or components to provide localised protection and help prevent movement inside cartons and other packaging.

They can also be used alongside sheets and other protective packaging materials to create a more complete packaging solution.

Lightweight Protective Packaging

EPS is predominantly air, giving it a very low weight compared with many other protective materials. Its cellular structure provides cushioning while keeping the overall packaging weight relatively low.

This makes polystyrene useful where businesses need to balance product protection with manageable packaging weight.
