This graph shows how our product
stands up against 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.

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 of our 48 hour test where we only
gained 9 degrees and the polystyrene 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 sealed out of the packaging. We did not expel the excess air for this test
but would lengthen the time that the package would keep the desired temperature.
