This graph shows how our product stands up against polystyrene.  The pictures below show how we
packaged the foil/foam and how we packaged the polystyrene.  We wanted to make sure that the
inner dimensions for both containers were the same.  The savings in weight allowed is to put 2
extra 16 ounce gel packs in the foil/foam bag.  The weight of the molded polystyrene with
a cardboard box and the foil/foam bag with a cardboard box were both 11 pounds.   See the
full site at foamconverting.com

As you can see both the polystyrene and our foil/foam packaging performed about the same for the
first 24 hours.  However where we excelled was over the next 24 hours where we only gained 9
degrees and the Styrofoam  gained almost 13 degrees.  While this might not sound like much,
it can be the difference between your perishables getting to the destination frozen or thawed. 
One of the added benefits to the foil and foam packaging is that because of the flexibility of the
material it allows for excess air to be pushed out of the packaging.  We did not do this for
the test but would be of great improvement to the extension of the packaging staying cold.
 

 Benefits of foil/foam:
 
-Cheaper than same size polystyrene
-Smaller sidewalls so allows for more refrigerant in same box
-Better for the environment that polystyrene
-Significant reduction of inbound freight costs
-Reduction in storage space
