Laser engraving foam adds permanent logos, text, and markings directly onto your foam inserts or products.
Foam laser engraving uses a laser beam to create text, logos, images, and patterns on the surface of foam. Unlike printed markings, laser-engraving designs become part of the material itself, providing a durable finish that will not rub off, peel, or fade over time. Laser engraving is commonly used on protective case inserts, tool control foam, presentation packaging, shadow boards, sports equipment, and industrial foam products.
At Polyformes, we use laser engraving to add branding, product information, part numbers, instructions, and identification markings to a wide range of foam products.

The benefits of using laser engraving include:
Laser engraving is a process that uses a focused laser beam to create markings on the surface of a foam material. As such, laser engraving is suitable for adding logos, text, images, part numbers, and other information directly onto the foam.
The main difference between printing and laser engraving is that printing applies ink to the surface of the foam, while laser engraving permanently alters the material itself. As a result, laser-engraved designs are more durable and resistant to wear, scratches, and harsh environments.
Laser engraving works particularly well on Plastazote® polyethylene foam, which provides a smooth surface and excellent detail. Other foam materials may also be suitable, depending on the required finish and application.
Yes, laser engraving is commonly used to add part numbers, serial numbers, product names, safety information, inspection details, and user instructions onto foam products. It is particularly useful for tool control foam, industrial packaging, and equipment cases.
