Determine If Instapak Quick® RT Foam Packaging is Right for You

Which Foam Do I Need?

Instapak Quick® RT is used to protect products of various size, shape and weight. To determine which Instapak Quick® RT packaging foam is best suited for your product, refer to the chart below.

You will need to know two attributes of your product:

Product weight
Area - in square 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® RT is the right foam to protect your product. If the same size product weighs 25 pounds, Instapak Quick Tuff® RT foam should be used instead.

*For Rugged Products - those classified as "Not Fragile" - Instapak Quick® RT foam should provide adequate protection.

Please Note: The shipping and transportation environment is a very unpredictable chain of events. Packaging is not an exact science, thus we caution that the chart above be used as a guide and not a final stamp of approval of guarantee that Instapak Quick® RT foam will or will not be successful in protecting your product. You should test the application to determine the suitablilty of Instapak Quick® RT foam packaging for the intended use.
