Xpander Pak, Inc.

Xpander Pak™, Inc.(The Company), a Delaware corporation, is a privately owned corporation with both its corporate office and manufacturing facility located in Richmond, Virginia. The Company manufactures a shipping package that is unique in the small package industry. The Xpander Pak™ product, with its patented construction and foam cushioning, provides much greater protection against the shock and vibration encountered in shipping than ordinary bubble or padded envelopes. Xpander Pak™ products protect fragile contents with thick, flexible polyurethane foam; yet, they are light in weight and reduce shipping costs significantly. For this reason, the product is widely used by an enormous variety of businesses for shipping delicate items, including: cameras, jewelry, video tapes, watches, eyewear, artwork, small antiques, spare parts, mementos, crystal, computer and electronic components, cell phones, prescriptions and medical devices.

Before Xpander Pak™, these items would have been sent in a corrugated box with inferior wrap, fill, or dunnage. Compared with a corrugated box, the Xpander Pak™ products:

1) are cost effective to ship
2) require less time to pack
3) need less storage spaces
4) weigh one-third less than conventional products
5) offer better protection

Xpander Pak™ Super Protective shipping systems are manufactured to meet just about any size requirement, and range in size from 7.5" x 9.5" to 20" x 22. All of our products are produced with a 1.1. lb. density foam; most, however, can also be produced with any custom of foam configuration. In addition to the basic Xpander Pak™ Super Protective shipping system, the Company also offers the following lines:

1) Xpander Pak™ Super Protective RX Shipping System – a heavy duty version of the product which has been tailored specifically for the mail-order pharmaceutical market. This product will serve other customers who want added shock absorbing protection and thermatic protection against temperature extremes.

2) Xpander Pak™ Super Protective Safe-T-Shipping System – a thinner version of the standard product which was designed specifically for shipping cell phones and pagers. This product will serve those customers who need a solid amount of shock absorbing protection at a lower cost.

3) Xpander Pak™ Super Protective Electro Static Dissipative (ESD) Shipping System – wherein the ESD shipper provides protection against static electricity, making it well suited for circuit boards, computer parts and other small electronics.

4) Xpander Pak™ Super Protective Decorative Shipping System – finally, there is a line of full-color decorative shippers which are marketed to post offices and retail shipping centers and which are ideal for shipping small gifts.

In 2000, the Company transitioned its manufacturing operations into a newly renovated warehouse. Recognizing the importance of maintaining the highest quality production standards, the Company took over the manufacturing of its entire product line, which is now handled from a 40,000-square-foot facility in Richmond.

Consequently, all functions—from new product development, to manufacturing and shipping, to sales and marketing—are handled directly by Company personnel, resulting in better quality control and quicker response to customer needs.
