Foam Insulation for Crates

["Michael G. Otto" <mike@artworkskc.com>]

Dear friends and colleagues,

Some informal scientific research.....  With the great number of 
amazingly divergent crating specs afloat in the packing, crating and 
handling fields, I have seen a number of different approaches to using 
insulation in touring crates, both domestic and international.

I think it would be great to see your responses regarding the following:
1)  what type of foam do you use for insulation as opposed to cushioning?
2)  what thickness and how do you configure it with the cushioning foam?
3)  are there alternative insulation boards that are acceptable?  Any 
"green" boards?
4)  domestic and international, or just international?
5)  what is basic criteria used in decision making?

Whatever insight/info you would like to send back to the PACIN list 
serve would be a fantastic way to begin an open dialogue on this.

Thanks,
