ExpandOS(TM) packaging dramatically cuts breakage and reduces labor costs for shippers of fragile products. It has a low carbon footprint as it is made from 100% post industrial waste. This earth-friendly product is 100% recyclable, earning the endorsement of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
ExpandOS, which stands for “Expand On-Site”, is delivered to shippers in pre-cut bundles of thin paperboard that contain 38 “fingers” designed to cling together using all three sides of the pyramid. A machine called the Expander™ cuts each row apart and folds them into highly-engineered interlocking and protective pyramids that fall by gravity into packing boxes, dramatically reducing packing time compared to foam-in-place and other options. Each Expander can produce up to 1,000 cubic feet of material in a typical shift.
The patented ExpandOS system, invented by FoldedPak™, has been engineered to provide maximum protection. The pyramids are settled during packing to protect the product, absorb shock and eliminate migration during shipment. The coated paperboard can be stamped with the customer’s logo.
A California-based lighting fixture manufacturer switched to ExpandOS from chemical foam, which was expensive, labor-intensive and not environmentally friendly. During a four-week test with 2,500 outbound packages, there was zero reported damage. Packing time fell one-third, from 60 to 40 seconds per box. Cost of packing material fell from .58 to .34 per box. For the full case study, visit http://expandos.com/case_studies.asp.
Each 1,000 pounds of post industrial waste ExpandOS uses averts the need to re-pulp the paper, saving 888 lb of CO2 that would otherwise be produced in the re-pulping process. That’s the equivalent of taking 3.9 cars off the road for a week
The Expander unit comes on a movable base for flexible use and runs on a standard wall outlet. Because the pyramids are expanded on site, storage requirements are typically 1/25 the space needed for pre-expanded materials.
