Sealed Air recently unveiled a new packaging product which it says scores in simplicity and convenience as well as enhancing the appearance of items being shipped.

Sealed Air’s latest innovation, Instapak Quick Room Temperature (RT) foam packaging, provides users with a custom-fit protective cushion that is fast, easy-to-use and ideal for small-to-medium volume packaging applications including Internet-based businesses, galleries, independent business owners, pack-and-ship stores, warranty repair depots, moving and storage facilities, retail shipping departments and mailrooms
An addition to Sealed Air’s Instapak Quick foam packaging product line, Instapak Quick RT foam packaging does not require a warmer like traditional Instapak Quick foam packaging, dramatically increasing the convenience of using the product. Since no system or warmer is required, the packaging can be activated at room temperature when and where it is needed. The Instapak Quick RT bags always are ready for use since the need to pre-heat them is eliminated. Users can produce protective foam cushions at any location and support multiple packaging areas easily, without the burden of capital equipment and installation requirements associated with many packaging systems.
The Instapak Quick RT foam packaging consists of a bag containing two liquid components. To create custom foam cushions, the components in the Instapak Quick RT bag are activated by manually pressing on the oval marked “A” to break the seal that separates the two components. After patting side “A” and side “B” 15 to 20 times, the proper mix is achieved. Before the foam begins expanding within the bag, the bag is placed into the shipping container where it forms a custom-fit protective cushion around the product. The foam packaging reduces damage to items by providing superior cushioning, blocking and bracing, and void-fill protection.
In addition to superior cushioning capabilities, the foam packaging provides a tidy packaging solution that enhances the appearance of items being shipped. With five bag sizes, Instapak Quick RT foam packaging is designed to accommodate a variety of packaging needs for a variety of products.
Sealed Air revolutionised protective packaging with the invention of Bubble Wrap cushioning in 1960. Lightweight Sealed Air protective packaging innovations save energy by reducing freight. The company’s food packaging systems protect meat and other food products from spoilage during distribution.
