Packaging solution choices expand
February 1st 2011

ExpandOS, known as Expand On Site, from Packer Products is a new low carbon footprint protective packaging system. The patented packaging protection solution is 100% reusable and recyclable, making it an eco-friendly alternative to foam, bubble wrap, and packaging peanuts.

The paper is manufactured from certified sustainable forestry and is made from 100% post industrial waste material that would have had to be re-pulped.

This results in a reduced industrial waste stream, cutting the carbon footprint significantly.

The design incorporates 38 different edges and holes, allowing ExpandOS to fit together to form a protective barrier against potential damages. Providing blocking, bracing and cushioning, the product's properties allow it to expand up to 25 times its original size at the point of use.
