Why microfoam is a popular choice for moving valuable items
Microfoam is a versatile packing foam with an impressive list of properties. Formed from low density polypropylene, microfoam is very light, helping to keep shipping and labor costs to a minimum.
One of the chief benefits of microfoam is its breathability which helps to protect goods from moisture. This forms an effective protection agsinst fungal growth such as mold and mildew and, for metal goods, rust. Since microfoam is chemically inert, it won't itself react with anything it comes into contact with. This makes it ideal for wrapping everything from finished wood, glass and plastic to organic produce, ceramics and metal (painted or unpainted). It is also a powerful insulator and is often used for storing flowers and plants over the winter.
Microfoam can help prevent damage from many different sources including scratches, vibrations and direct impact. Most adhesive tapes will stick firmly to microfoam, providing an effective tamper-proof seal. Microfoam is resilient, pliable and can be combined with polyolefin film laminates and other plastics. It can also be printed on in multiple colors for branding or labeling purposes.
Extensive range of microfoam rolls available from New Haven
Since there is no such thing as a standard moving or shipping assignment, New Haven supplies microfoam in a variety of different gauges, widths and lengths.
The thickness of our microfoam ranges from 1/32 inch up to ¼ inch and we stock a range of widths from 12 inches up to 72 inches. We also offer plenty of choice in terms of length with rolls ranging from 100 feet up to 2000 feet.

This variety helps our customers to meet their packaging dimension requirements while reducing packing material wastage.
