Material overview

Soft PE foam is a polyethylene foam with a soft, almost mattress-like structure. Its elastic properties provide protection and a pleasant feel. When laser cut, the edges can melt. Engraving options are limited; assess depth and quality with a small test on material of known composition.

✔ Ready to use – directly out of the box
✔ Soft & flexible – feels comfortable and adaptable
✔ Cutting width approx. 0.6 mm (± 0.3 mm) – consider kerf
✔ Cutting edge feels identical to unprocessed material but may be slightly sticky 
✔ Post-processing possible – with knife, hot knife, glue, or paint
✔ Available in 10 mm and 20 mm – choose what you need
