In its initial configuration Ryder Group is looking
to insert a sheet of Isoblox cells between the wall of
a corrugated board box and an inner cushioning foam
layer. The ability of Isoblox to channel the energy of
an impact laterally, away from goods inside a box
will enhance the level of protection they enjoy. In the
longer term this enhanced protection could lead to a
reduction in traditional protective packaging solutions
like the depth of the corrugated board or thickness of
polystyrene or polyethylene foam used.

'If we can take a package that measures 16
inches, by 16 inches by 3.5 inches [406mm x 406mm x
89mm] and reduce that to 12 inches by 12 inches by 2.5
inches [305mm x 305mm x 64mm]. That represents a
30% reduction in volumetric packaging.’
If this can be translated into reduced volumes, it will
mean fewer journeys for transports companies that are
Ryder Group’s customers, coupled with lower emissions
of gases harmful to the environment. And added
protection will manifest itself in fewer replacements,
demands for compensation and ultimately lower insurance
premiums.
