Density (kg\/m\u00b3).<\/strong> Low-density 18\u201325 kg\/m\u00b3 EVA suits void fill and light cushioning. Structural inserts for glassware, electronics, or medical devices require 45\u201365 kg\/m\u00b3, which costs 40\u201360% more per sheet.

Thickness.<\/strong> Prices climb roughly linearly from 2mm to 10mm, then jump sharply above 20mm where lamination (two-layer bonding) is required.

Virgin vs. recycled content.<\/strong> Blended or recycled EVA grades run 10\u201315% cheaper but show inconsistent cell structure. For export-facing brands, note that EU PPWR compliance expectations now favor documented recycled content \u2014 some buyers accept the 12% premium for traceability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:16px 0; line-height:1.8; color:#334155; font-size:1.02rem;\"><strong style='color:#0f172a;'>4.
