Thinner foam (1 mm or 1.5 mm) is for surface protection and interleaving: it stops stacked plates, glass and finished parts rubbing together. Thicker foam (2.5 mm or 4 mm) adds more cushioning. Foam is smooth, non-abrasive and leaves no residue, so it will not mark polished or painted finishes; for heavy knocks, add large bubble wrap or corrugated rolls outside.
