EPE Foam Bag (Pearl Cotton Bag) refers to a packaging bag made from EPE foam material, which is produced by physically foaming low-density polyethylene (LDPE). EPE stands for Expandable Polyethylene, commonly known as pearl cotton. It features light weight, good cushioning, moisture resistance, heat insulation, and recyclability. In foreign trade, EPE foam bags are commonly used for transport packaging of fragile or high-value goods such as electronic products, precision instruments, glassware, furniture, and toys, providing shock absorption, anti-scratch, and void filling. Usage scenarios include: inner packaging of products, express filling, wrapping fragile items, etc. Precautions: Select appropriate thickness (commonly 0.5mm-5mm) and density based on product weight and fragility; if exporting to countries with high environmental requirements (e.g., EU), confirm compliance with REACH, RoHS, etc.; compared to bubble bags, EPE foam bags are softer and offer more uniform cushioning but at a slightly higher cost; compared to PE bags, EPE foam bags focus on cushioning rather than dust protection. In foreign trade documents, accurately describe material, dimensions, and thickness to avoid confusion with 'bubble bags' or 'foam bags'.
📝 Examples
1. We customized 5mm thick EPE foam bags for this batch of glass cups, each cup individually packaged before being placed into cartons to ensure no damage during long-distance sea shipping. (Note: Used for inner packaging of fragile items, emphasizing thickness and individual packaging)
2. Please quote FOB price for 10,000 EPE foam bags, size 20cm×30cm, thickness 2mm, for cushioning packaging of electronic products. (Note: Common specifications and trade terms combined in foreign trade inquiries)
