Custom Foam Inserts: EVA vs EPE vs PU, and How to Spec the Right One
The foam inside a case does the actual protecting. EVA is the durable premium choice, EPE is light and economical, PU is soft for delicate items — and the cutting method (CNC, die-cut, pick-and-pluck) decides the fit quality and cost.
