Types of Foam for Flower Arrangement
Foam for flower arrangements comes in two types: Acrylic and plain.
Acrylic foam
Acrylic foam sheets also referred to as Flower Styrofoam, come in different colors. Foamiran acrylic foam sheets are available in 60 by 70 centimeters with thicknesses varying from 0.8 millimeters to 2 millimeters. Custom orders are an option for sheets or flower Styrofoam in size of 210 x 125 cm and 30 mm thickness.
Plain Foam
Plain foam is a collection of small, reflective particles with precise cuts, available in various shapes, sizes, and colors. The particles reflect light and create a sparkling effect at various angles. These are polka dots and they’re small.
Foamiran’s plain foam sheets are highly versatile and commonly utilized in flower arrangements, crafts, bag-making, and decorative products. Foam sheets are fed into an adhesive machine after production for coating with an adhesive. The foam sheets covered in glue are sent to the drying section where not only does the glue dry, but it also increases their adhesiveness. Then, the foam sheets undergo dotting and eventually exit the machine as plain foam sheets.
Foamiran offers plain foam sheets that come in packs of 10 with dimensions of 20 by 30 centimeters and a thickness of 1 millimeter. Thicker sheet custom orders can be made upon request.
