Check out this great innovation in the world of packaging. Shown at the Nepcon world expo in Japan, a company named Sealedair demonstrated the ‘Pack in instance’ packing system. It looks like a perfect way to pack delicate items for shipment and it can be used no matter what product or box size you’re working with.
Just insert the packing material, inject the gel and you have a perfect mold of the object where it rests comfortably. It may just be the future of packing materials. I assume the real trick would be to make it cheap enough to be affordable to use.
It’s pretty amazing. The other concern would be weight. As long as it remains light, it’s pretty useful. If it’s too heavy, it’s too expensive to use for shipping.
Injectable expandable foam has been used for years. Time to get away from the keyboard and into the real world Slippery Brick peoples!!!
