Styrofoam™ versus EPS foam

What is EPS Foam?

Let's skip the official definitions and I'll give  my  "layman" definition. EPS is a softer and smoother foam. Styrofoam™ is a trademarked name often used for craft foam - or "crunchy foam".

Why does Awesome events use Styrofoam™ for their bases and EPS foam for their letters and shapes?

Styrofoam™ is easier to insert products and sticks so it works better for the base.  We like the EPS foam for the letters and shapes because it provides a smoother and nicer finished look. The EPS is less likely to break or crack.  The EPS foam also works better with our Computerized Hot Wire Cutter.
