Determine If Instapak Quick® Foam Packaging is Right for You
Which Foam Do I Need?
Instapak Quick® is used to protect products of various size, shape and weight. To determine which Instapak Quick® packaging foam is best suited for your product, refer to the chart below. Download the Instapak Quick® Packaging Applications Guide (PDF) for additional information.
You will need to know two attributes of your product:
- Product weight
- Area - in inches - of the smallest side of the product
 Example: Your product is 13 inches wide x 10 inches long x 5 inches high and weighs 10 pounds. The smallest side is 10 x 5 = 50 square inches. Using the chart, you find that Instapak Quick® is the right foam to protect your product. If the same size product weighs 25 pounds, Instapak Quick Tuff® foam should be used instead.
*For Rugged Products - those classified as "Not Fragile" - Instapak Quick® foam should provide adequate protection.
