Welcome!
We offer a wide range of products made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) for various purposes.
There are many applications for EPS products, and two main technologies are used in their production: molding and cutting. Each method has its advantages and is suitable for different situations.
Molding requires a pre-made form - more precisely, a mold. Raw material, consisting of small polystyrene beads, is loaded into the mold. Then steam is injected, causing the beads to expand several times in volume. Since the mold is sealed and its volume is fixed, the expanded beads fuse together, forming a solid block in the shape of the mold.
Because the mold itself is a complex and costly piece of equipment, the molding method is only justified for large-scale production (typically from several thousand pieces and up).
Moreover, the mold is only one part of the process. It's just a component of the press machine, which is part of an industrial-scale manufacturing system - usually found at full-scale production facilities.
For example, if you need
packaging for your product and you choose the molding method, the production process will look like this: you would need to contact a facility equipped with molding machines (a factory), and commission a custom mold compatible with their equipment. That mold will be designed and manufactured at a separate facility over a certain period, and only after that can production begin.
This means that regardless of how many items you plan to produce, there will be significant initial expenses for mold design and manufacturing - even before production starts. Additionally, if any adjustments are needed later, the mold will have to be redesigned and remade from scratch.
We use the cutting method, which allows us to produce both large (depending on shape and size) and small batches without major upfront investment. We can even make one-off items (starting from just 1 piece). Of course, as with any production, the quantity affects the final price.
Polystyrene can be cut mechanically (with a knife, jigsaw, or milling tool), or thermally (with a heated wire or shaped electrode). We use both methods, which allows us to offer a wide variety of product types.
Here’s how our process works: within a few days (sometimes within a single day), we will design and agree with you on the required item. Depending on the product, we may need a drawing, sketch, or sample.
That’s it. We begin production. And if you repeat your order later and want to adjust the design - there’s no need to start from scratch or pause for tooling.
In short, the main advantages of our cutting-based technology are flexibility, a custom approach, and no upfront tooling costs.
