Each component of the ExpandOS™ Solution contributes to the cost saving features of our system. The Expander™ quickly and reliably converts the ExpandOS™ for use at the point of packaging. When evaluating the potential benefits of our system it is important to consider all the costs that contribute to the TOTAL PACKAGING COST. Total packaging cost is the basis for evaluating the effectiveness of your internal packaging system. The Expander™ in combination with ExpandOS™ impacts many direct and indirect costs associated with your total packaging cost. These costs include freight/postage, storage costs, material costs, labor, overhead, returns, replacement, and repair, discard, customer satisfaction, employee retention, insurance, administrative, and opportunity costs.

The Expander™ is a unique component of our patented packaging solution that transforms the ExpandOS™ from their compact form into the revolutionary product that protects your package better that any competitive product on the market today. The Expander™ is an easy to use versatile piece of equipment, which requires little energy or maintenance. The Expander™ folds the specially prepared paper into its final format and delivers it to the box. This has huge economic benefits over pre-expanded products due to reduced freight costs, handling costs, and inventory space requirements.

ExpandOS™ are faster to use because it has some of the better characteristics of a flowable product. However, ExpandOS™ are a highly engineered “next generation” product with reliable predictable performance. ExpandOS™ has developed the “next generation” Tight-Fill product which has great customer appeal and wide market potential. ExpandOS™ are based on the principle of many small pieces, with the spines and holes on each individual ExpandOS™ interlocking with one another as they surround the item being shipped locking the items in place and forming what we call “paper cement”. This material instantly “sets”, and unlike real cement, each piece then acts as a cushion to protect the item from shocks and prevents any vibrational migration and settling during transport. We call this Tight-Fill, and it’s a whole new way of thinking.

ExpandOS™ is the first truly universal internal protective packaging material. Its unique combination of brandability, product effectiveness, cost efficiency, ease of use, and environmental friendliness make it the perfect fit in Tight-Fill product applications. Tight-Fill is the next step in the evolution of packaging products that must meet the need for blocking, bracing, cushioning, and the efficiencies and convenience of flowable fill product.
