Stern Pinball of Melrose Park, IL, was having issues with aesthetic damage to its pinball machines. The corrugated shippers the company was using created scuff marks on the machines during shipment, tarnishing not only the machines but Stern's reputation, as well. The company needed a new packaging solution to solve the scuffing problem as well as reduce packaging cost, without sacrificing protection. So Joe Blackwell visited the Packaging Design and Development Center of Sealed Air Corp. in Hodgkins, IL. "I was impressed," says Blackwell. The visit led to Stern's use of Instapak~R GFlex~R QS foam packaging. This unique foam formulation, in conjunction with the Speedy Packer~R foam-in-bag packaging system from Sealed Air, was selected as the best solution to package a pinball machine of considerable weight and size. The high-performance foam packaging is resilient enough to hold up to the rigors of transporting a pinball machine around the world.
