![]() This one lists thicknesses from 0.125" up to 2" with seven different choices. Running with that thought in a search resulted in much-lower pricing for lower density EVA foam from another source. I've received purchases packed with a lighter density closed cell foam which I think would be better suited for your purposes, and possibly less expensive. (~1, 1.5, 2", 24" squares) but I suggest it's not particularly inexpensive at up to US$20 for the thick stuff. I've found some one-inch thick textured mats from Walmart but you've indicated that textures are undesirable.Īnother search discovered a cosplay support site that sells the foam, untextured(!) in thicknesses of 24, 36 and 48 mm in 600 mm squares. My brief search returned un-textured foam in 0.25" thickness (6.35 mm) and may be available in other thicknesses. Cosplay costume makers use this material for creating various components of costumes, including masks and armor. Almost every source I've found involves textured surfaces and interlocking edges. The mats are common, as you suggest and are composed of EVA foam. Where can I get mats without a grip pattern that can be cut for packaging? Also, as the thickness is a little too thick for my liking in some cases, are there any sellers that sell mats, say, half the thickness? The interlocking aspect of these mats also makes it feasible to reuse offcuts by locking them together, making them the perfect solution for product packaging foam. ![]() What this does prove is that factories DO manufacture these closed cell foam mats at affordable prices without the grip on top. I have seen some foams like this on Amazon which have a flat surface on both sides:īut these mats are coated with rubber grip, so it defeats the purpose. I tend to glue and layer my foam when one sheet is not enough. These mats are available at far better prices (1/10th of the cost of what I currently pay), but the one thing that annoys me is the pattern on the top. ![]() For example, this packaging for a USB adaptor I recently bought is almost identical to the floor mats: ![]() There are a lot of companies that use very similar foam it seams. The foam I have is very expensive and not as high quality as the foam floor mats in my basement, so I took a spare mat and successfully cut it into foam cutouts for my artwork. I am specifically using closed cell foam because of its great properties for packaging. I make my own packaging for my artwork and use some stiff foam to hold everything together in the boxes I ship out. I'm sure all of you have seen these interlocking mats: ![]()
