Schnellauswahl fur Fallrisiko
Fallfestigkeit here means the material’s practical ability to keep its shape, absorb shock, avoid cracking or puncture, and remain useful after handling. It is a planning guide, not a substitute for testing the finished package.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
EPP molded foam boxExpanded polypropylene molded box or tote for reusable cold-chain packaging.WiederverwendbarFormschaum
|
Strong choice for repeated handling when wall thickness and box geometry are suitable.
|
Good impact absorption and energy dissipation for tote and parcel handling. | High recovery compared with crushable rigid foams. | Low crack risk; check hinge, Deckel, Ecke, and molded-wall thickness. | Returnable grocery, Essensset, pharma distribution loops, reusable last-mile boxes. | Use corner radii, lid retention, and payload restraints. Test after several reuse cycles, not only on a new box. | |
|
EPE / PE foam linerFlexible closed-cell foam liner, Beutel, einfügen, or separator layer.DämpfungFlexibel
|
Strong as a shock layer, often paired with another insulation wall.
|
Good cushioning when thickness and load-bearing area allow compression. | Good recovery for repeated light-to-medium impacts. | Low crack risk; puncture and tearing depend on facing and thickness. | Fragile samples, Beuteleinlagen, inside separators, short-route cold-chain bags. | Do not rely on thin foam alone for long thermal hold time. Pair with insulation or reflective barrier when needed. | |
|
Foam-in-place polyurethane cushionExpanding polyurethane foam used to immobilize and cushion payloads or inserts.DämpfungEin Weg
|
Useful when the foam shape captures the payload and prevents movement.
|
Good conformal support; performance depends on density and foam coverage. | Mäßig; often used as one-way protection rather than a returnable component. | Low crack risk, but foam split or voids can reduce support. | Fragile payload inserts, custom void fill, specialty sample kits with outer insulation. | Control foam density, cure, und direkten Kontakt. Confirm compatibility with temperature-sensitive products and clean-room needs. | |
|
Aerogel blanketFlexible high-performance insulation layer used in liners or local thermal bridge areas.FortschrittlichThin wall
|
Flexible and less crack-prone than rigid boards, but not a structural cushion by itself.
|
Limited cushioning; useful as a flexible insulation layer with another impact structure. | Mäßig; compression and covering layer can change installed performance. | Low crack risk; Staub, Abrieb, and puncture protection may be needed. | Premium thin liners, Ecken, thermal bridge control, compact pharma packaging. | Use a facing or pouch layer. Pair with EPE, EVP, Karton, or shell structure for drop protection. | |
|
EPS molded box / PanelExpanded polystyrene molded box or panel for low-cost insulated shippers.Ein WegFormschaum
|
Can absorb impact by crushing, but cracking and corner breakage are common risks.
|
Moderate cushioning for one-way shipments when wall thickness is enough. | Niedrig; crushed areas do not fully recover. | Mäßig bis hoch, especially at corners, Deckelkanten, and thin walls. | Meeresfrüchte, Lebensmittelgeschäft, gefrorene Pakete, low-cost chilled food distribution. | Use outer carton support, corner thickness, and payload restraints. Avoid relying on cracked EPS for reuse. | |
|
XPS rigid foam boardClosed-cell rigid foam board used for moisture-resistant insulation panels.HartschaumFeuchtigkeit
|
More denting than recovery; edge protection is important.
|
Limited cushioning; transmits more shock than flexible foams. | Niedrig bis mäßig; local dents and crushed edges may remain. | Mäßig, especially at exposed edges and corners. | Panel liners where moisture pressure and rigidity matter. | Protect panel edges with carton, Film, or shell. Do not leave brittle corners exposed. | |
|
Wellpappe / PapierwabePaper-based structural spacer or honeycomb layer used with liners and cartons.PapierAbstandshalter
|
Good directional crush support when dry and correctly oriented.
|
Crushable energy absorption; performance depends on flute or honeycomb orientation. | Niedrig; designed to crush rather than rebound. | Mäßig; moisture can weaken paper structure quickly. | Recyclable spacer, carton structure, pallet void fill, light-duty liners. | Keep dry and protect from condensation. Validate load direction and stacking pressure. | |
|
Molded pulp insulated insertPaper-pulp tray, corner insert, or molded structure used with insulation or gel packs.PapierRecyclable direction
|
Good for positioning and corner support, not usually the main thermal insulation.
|
Moderate cushioning when molded shape supports the payload. | Niedrig bis mäßig; may deform after heavy impact. | Mäßig; moisture and repeated drops reduce structure. | Sample kits, vial positioning, inner trays, recyclable support pieces. | Use coatings or liners when condensation is expected. Check fit after cold and wet exposure. | |
|
Pur / PIR rigid foam panelRigid foam panel with good insulation performance, often used inside cartons or shells.HartschaumThermal
|
Strong thermally, but not a forgiving impact cushion by itself.
|
Limited cushioning; rigid panels can transmit shock to the payload. | Low after denting or edge crush. | Moderate to high without outer carton or shell protection. | High-performance insulated parcel or pallet panels with external protection. | Use carton, Film, or shell protection. Add flexible inserts for fragile payloads. | |
|
Phenolic foam boardLow-conductivity rigid foam board with brittle handling considerations.HartschaumSpröde
|
Needs protective structure when used in transport packaging.
|
Low cushioning; better as an insulation layer than an impact layer. | Niedrig; cracks or edge damage may remain. | Hoch, especially at corners, cut edges, and unsupported spans. | Protected premium insulation panels where thermal performance is the priority. | Avoid exposed edges. Use protective facings and separate the payload from direct shock paths. | |
|
Vakuumisolierungspanel (VIP)High-performance evacuated insulation panel used where wall space is limited.FortschrittlichPannengefahr
|
A protected VIP shipper can pass drop tests, but the panel itself is sensitive to puncture and edge damage.
|
Very low cushioning; it is an insulation panel, not an impact absorber. | Low if vacuum barrier is damaged; performance loss can be permanent. | Very high without protective facings, edge guards, and controlled assembly. | Thin-wall high-performance pharma, Biologika, compact premium shippers. | Protect every panel edge and surface. Add EPE/EPP/carton layers and inspect after drop testing. | |
|
Reflective bubble foil linerAir-bubble laminate with reflective film, often used in insulated bags or short-lane liners.LinerLeichte Pflicht
|
Can soften minor impacts but is vulnerable to puncture and seam damage.
|
Niedrig bis mäßig; bubble height and film strength control cushioning. | Moderate while bubbles remain intact; low after puncture or flattening. | Moderate to high for sharp corners, schwere Nutzlasten, und raues Handling. | Meal delivery bags, grocery liners, kurze, entspannte Strecken, secondary wrap. | Use with carton, Beutel, or foam support for heavier payloads. Check seams and abrasion points. |

The score is a screening aid. Final drop resistance is measured on the complete package, not on the insulation material alone.
Dampfung braucht Verformung
A cushion works when it can deform under impact. If the load area is too wide or too narrow, the package may transmit shock or bottom out.
Thermische Ziele und Fallziele konnen kollidieren
VIP and rigid foams can improve insulation but may need EPE, EVP, Karton, or shell layers to survive distribution handling.
