trailers. BulkPak allows manufacturers to ship pallet sized-loads on both ambient or freezer carriers and is available in two versions: a rugged, returnable, industrial grade design and an economical single use configuration. Both pallet shipper solutions have been triplicate-tested by independent ISTA certified labs. The returnable unit is made from a molded plastic pallet, top and bottom, which nest for sturdy stacking – a perfect fit every time. The outer shell is robust yet flexible, with a simple locking closure. A removable side makes for easy loading and unloading and full access to the payload area. The standard BulkPak is simple and efficient. Comprised of a corrugated outer and EPS interior this scalable design allows for easy adjustment of the inside height to match the product height. EPS is the material of choice for insulated pallet shippers; its ideal combination of performance and cost efficiency ensures total temperature security for cold chain shipping. Cold chain shipping is challenging under the best of circumstances, but cold chain distribution for large shipments of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, food and other temperature sensitive products presents exceptional challenges, especially for long transit times. There is no way to ensure that a package will always remain "this end up" as it travels through the distribution chain. It's no surprise packaging experts recommend surrounding the temperature-sensitive payload equally on all sides with thermal protection. EPS insulated pallet shippers offer an unsurpassed combination of performance and cost efficiency to safely and easily ship temperature sensitive goods. Versatile and easy to use, EPS provides both seasonal and universal temperature protection for shipment by air, sea or truck and enables the shipper to increase their payload size and improve performance while decreasing cost, size and weight. EFP Corporation recently released a new generation of pre-tested 24-72 hour transit EPS insulated pallet shipper systems designed to transport temperature sensitive products without the need for refrigerated A student of musical instrument manufacturing from the College of Ghent in Belgium has made an interesting discovery - EPS foam amplifies sound in classical instruments. Tim Duerinck built a prototype cello with an EPS cover for his senior master's thesis. The instrument is the result of a search for new materials and techniques to produce more sound with less effort, compared to the regular wooden versions. He discovered that EPS amplifies sound better than wood in new and older violins. The low sounds are louder than those of an ordinary cello and while the instrument is not in equilibrium, a layman cannot hear a difference. The 23-year-old student says he did not intend to create an instrument with the same timbre, but rather an instrument that sounds louder for soloists and outdoor performances. The foam sound box is 1.5 cm thick and produces more volume with less effort. This 'new' cello sound creates extra possibilities for musicians and composers. In addition to increased acoustics, EPS foam has other advantages: it is more cost effective than wood and construction may be faster. Tim Duerinck has entered his foam cello in the prestigious Flemish Dissertation Award 2015 competition. The best thesis will be announced in December and the winner will be rewarded with 2,500€.
