What is the difference between "EPS foam" and "Styrofoam"?
EPS foam or Expanded Polystrene foam is frequently, mistakenly referred
to as "Styrofoam". EPS foam is the white, smooth, closed-cell foam commonly
used for things such as foam cups, coolers, and packaging materials, and is
what most people think is actually "Styrofoam". "Styrofoam" is actually a
brand name of the Dow Chemical Company and can either be pink or blue and
is used in for building insulation or in a floral nature is off white and
has a course, crunchy, open cell texture. Floral type "Styrofoam" is often
used for crafting applications. Although we mostly use EPS foam, we do carry
some "Styrofoam" products, such as small balls. We also carry different types
of EPS foam such as 1# desity and 2# density which refers to the hardness of
the foam.
Is EPS Foam Recylable?
Yes! We recycle and re-use all of our foam. We also
offer drop-off service for your used foam such as
packaging inserts and peanuts. We will take any clean,
dry foam, free of labels or glues and will be happy to
recycle it for you.

Methods of Payment We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Credit may be available upon approval.
Shipping We ship to any location using our own trucks, UPS Ground, and LTL freight lines. We do ship nationwide and overseas. Although we do ship in the smallest boxes possible, all common carriers have started billing using dimensional weight rather than actual weight on packages larger than 5,184 cubic inches. This means that if a box is over this amount, the cost will be based on the box volume rather than the weight. When placing an order, we can only estimate shipping costs, as we will not know the actual amount billed until the order is processed and boxed.
