Loosefill Peanuts are pieces of expanded polystyrene that are used to fill empty spaces in packages with lightweight items.
They are not recommended for use with flat, narrow, or dense products that may migrate within the package because they shift and settle during the distribution cycle. This shifting and settling allow the product to shift within the package, exposing it to a higher probability of damage. |

| Using Loosefill Peanuts |
| Wrap each item separately with multiple wraps of encapsulted-air sheeting or polyethylene foam sheeting and place in a strong container. Fragile items will need suitable separation from each other, and from the corners, sides, top, and bottom of the box. All sides of the package should be surrounded by at least three inches (7.62 cm) of loosefill peanuts, and the package needs to be overfilled by at least one to two inches (5.08 cm) to allow for shifting and settling. Use enough loosefill peanuts to ensure that the contents cannot move when you shake the box. It is recommended that flat pieces of corrugated fiberboard be used between contents and peanuts to help prevent migration through the peanuts. |
