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.

This may be the strangest remote control we’ve ever seen. With the push of a button, this remote becomes rigid and ready for use. Umm, ok. Just what was Panasonic thinking when they designed this one?

When it’s not in use, this concept remote just sort of lays there limp, pulsating with light. But when you touch it, the remote gets excited and becomes rigid. Rigid and ready to be used in a wide variety of ways, that I won’t go into here. My guess is that some other company will market stiffness pills for it, so it can remain rigid longer and if it’s rigid for more then four hours, you’ll have to call for help.
