Here's How Instapak Quick® RT Packaging Works*

1. Completely unfold an Instapak Quick® RT bag, and lay flat on a hard surface. Press hard on the component "A" oval to break seal.	2. Alternately "pat" back and forth on the "A" and "B" ovals fifteen to twenty times. Immediately place the bag into an empty box prior to the foam expanding.
3. As the foam begins to expand, center and hold in position the product to be packaged, until it is supported by the foam.	4. Activate a second bag, and quickly place on top of the product. Close the carton flaps so that the foam expands to form a top cushion.

*Instapak Quick® Room Temeprature does not require a warmer.

Here's How Instapak Quick® and Instapak Quick Tuff® Packaging Works

1. Remove the bag from the Instapak Quick® warmer, unfold, and lay it on a flat surface.	2. Apply pressure to the "Press Here" area on the lower left side of the bag to open the inside seal.	3. Pat part "A" and part "B" back and forth and the bag will begin to expand.
4. Place the expanding foam-filled bag in the box and nestle the product onto the cushion.	5. Place a second expanding foam-filled bag on top of the product and close the box flaps.	6. The Instapak Quick® bag expands around the product and against the box to form a top cushion.

What's Inside?

Instapak Quick® and Instapak Quick® RT bags contain sealed pouches of Instapak® liquid components. By pressing on the bag as shown above, the seals of the inner pouches are broken and the components mix. When they react, they produce high quality, protective Instapak® foam.

Before using the Instapak Quick® or Instapak Quick® RT foam packaging products, it is important to know how to use it safely. Be sure to read and familiarize yourself with the information provided on the Instapak Quick® component "A" and "B" Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the Instapak Quick® Foam Packaging User's Guide (included with each Quick® Warmer).

The safety section of the User's Guide can be found here. It is important to note that the MSDSs for components "A" and "B" are for the chemicals contained within the internal pouches and not the expanded bag of foam produced by mixing the two components.
