Our cats simply don't care. They LOVE this stuff.<br>
To them, the little red boxes are the packing material.<br>

Amazon is using those air filled bag things. Works well, adds little weight and is very effective. Great for making loud pops. Too bad it's petroleum based...<br>
By the way I always save packing materials and use them when sending packages. No need to buy stuff for that.</p>

But it's hard to find, Uline has a few similar products but for my business appropriate box sizing and foam peanuts are still the cheapest fill. The Uline 20cu bag is about $20 (plus flat-rate shipping, so we order a lot of stuff at the same time).<br>
Anyway, it's great that you're using it...where do you buy it?</p>

There is nothing worse than getting a new package, and pulling it out only to see little white puffs sticking everywhere.</p>

Your not alone Sparkfun, we hate them too.</p>

Got my package on Saturday, and now I'm trying to figure out how this could be incorporated into my next electrical project...</p>

Paper just compresses & never resets, so once it hits the floor, it's worthless. Having said that, paper is much cheaper - I mean better for the environment.</p>

The stuff makes it easier to find my goods!</p>

Thanks for using this stuff by the way, packing peanuts are of the devil.</p>
