[R-390] Transit cases

[Dennis Wade]

Looking at their FAQs, it would appear that the material would not be
suitable for a 390* class item.

    See:

           http://www.sealedairprotects.com/NA/EN/products/foam_packaging/instapak-quick_calc.aspx

        and note that the max weight for any surface area is 50 lbs.

        Am I mis-reading something?
