Packaging : Instapak from Sealed Air

Sealed Air, a manufacturer of food and protective packaging systems and materials, has introduced a starter kit across Europe for its revolutionary Instapak Quick® RT protective packaging foam. The new Instapak Quick® RT Quick Start Kit has been launched so that companies can experience first hand how it will enable them to provide maximum protection for products during transit.




Prospective customers are now able to try several sizes of Instapak Quick® RT foam and decide which best suits their protective packaging requirements, thanks to Sealed Air's new Quick Start Kit. The unique foam bags, which are stored flat and activated at room temperature, have already enabled many organisations to optimise their packaging operations by minimising packaging and maximising protection.




The Instapak Quick® RT Quick Start Kit includes 16 foam bags in four different sizes for use in a range of transportation/shipping boxes, providing superior protection for the contents. Due to this premium protection performance, the product is of particular benefit for industries transporting fragile, delicate and expensive products, including industrial ceramics, antiques, moving & storage, museums & galleries and internet/home based organisations.




To create the packaging cushions, the bags are manually activated, which causes the two liquid components to combine, forming expanded foam up to 27 times their original volume. As the foam begins to form, it is placed into a box where it creates a custom-fit protective cushion around the product. In addition, no warmer is required as the reaction takes place at room temperature, dramatically increasing the convenience of using the product. The Instapak Quick® RT Quick Start Kit also includes a user guide, instructional DVD and safety glasses.




Comments Simon Davies, European Product Manager -- Instapak at Sealed Air: "Instapak Quick® RT is a simple packaging solution for many businesses. Where product breakages are not an option due to the cost of replacements and the potential damage to an organisation's reputation, Instapak Quick® RT provides maximum protection, by providing superior cushioning, blocking and bracing.




"Once people try it within their own business they realise how easy and affordable it is to create customised foam packaging cushions. The Instapak Quick® RT Quick Start Kit has been introduced so that prospective new users can prove for themselves that the system will reduce overall costs in their packaging operations."

This is the death knell for styrofoam.

Don't let that shit spray on you...a friend of mind did and it hurts like hell; It permeates the skin and expands. Also, you must be careful when packing sharp items that may puncture the bag, especially since the foam will spray out and get in whatever device you're packing, likely destroying it.

I have used this many times and not had any problem. I will take to mind the precaution however.

I'll stick with Styrofoam

[chechnya]

Doubt it. This might have a place in the shipping industry but I'm sure it's a lot more expensive.
