Sealed Air Corporation Exhibits Packaging for Automotive Parts at PRI 2005


Saddle Brook, N.J. (Dec. 1, 2005) - Sealed Air Corporation, a leading manufacturer of protective packaging products, will display products designed to protect automotive parts and equipment during shipping at the 18th annual Performance Racing Industry trade show in Orlando, Fla. The Sealed Air booth #5345 in the Orange County Convention Center will exhibit several packaging selections, including Instapak Quick® foam packaging, Instapak Quick® RT foam packaging, the NewAir I.B.(TM) 200 inflatable packaging system, the Instapacker® Tabletop foam-in-bag packaging system, and Korrvu® suspension and retention packaging.

o Instapak Quick® foam packaging produces a cushioning material for light to medium weight product protection applications. The package offers the exceptional protection of Instapak® foam, by expanding and forming around the product being shipped. Instapak Quick® foam packaging consist of bags containing the liquid Instapak® components needed to form Instapak® foam packaging. These bags are stored in the compact Instapak Quick® warmer and are hand activated as needed for just-in-time product protection.

o Instapak Quick® RT foam packaging - ideal for small-to-medium packaging applications including Internet-based businesses, galleries, independent business owners, pack-and-ship stores and warranty repair - provides users with a custom-fit protective cushion that is fast and easy-to-use. The foam packaging does not require a warmer like traditional Instapak Quick® packaging, enabling users to produce protective cushions at any location and support multiple packaging areas.

o The NewAir I.B.(TM) 200 inflatable packaging system is fast, flexible and all electric. The packaging system automatically inflates and dispenses ¾-inch height patented Barrier Bubble® cushioning material, providing superior protection when compared to lofted paper packaging. An auto-replenishment sensor keeps portable storage bins filled for on-demand packaging. It dispenses 21-square feet of inflatable cushioning per minute and does not require a dedicated operator.

o The Instapacker® Tabletop foam-in-bag system is an easy-to-use, versatile and cost-efficient option for producing Instapak® foam-in-bag packaging for cushioning, blocking and bracing, and void-fill applications. The simple and compact Instapacker® Tabletop system can produce up to 16 foam-filled bags per minute to meet the needs of today's busy packaging and distribution facilities. The small footprint of the Instapacker® Tabletop foam-in-bag system saves valuable workspace and is excellent for packaging areas where space is at a premium and for multiple workstation operations.

o Korrvu® suspension and retention packaging provides excellent product presentation, versatility and space savings. Korrvu® suspension packaging suspends fragile products away from impact in the air space of a container between two layers of highly resilient low-slip film. Korrvu® retention packaging holds a product securely within a proprietary retention frame and offers excellent protection for semi-rugged products.

In addition to these products, Sealed Air Corporation will display the Fill-Air® NTS inflatable packaging and a variety of Jiffy® mailers.
