Hi Folks---If stryofoam released enough gas from heat packs to kill geckos I have not seen it in 10 years of shipping. I think you are safe doing this. Newspaper is a poor conductor of heat too, styrofoam is a more suitable winter packing material as it absorbs and retains heat better than newspaper. I use newspaper when conditions are hot. There are different kinds of styrofoam, I prefer the "soft" kind that absorbs shock better than the hard kind. IMHO.
What do you think here? Until I received this email today I've never thought having the heat pack in direct contact with my styrofoam popcorn packing was contraindicated. Is it wise to place a heat pack inside a small paper bag for that reason?
I don't like to have heat in conctact with the styro popcorn on the off
chance that it will release some unwanted gasses. That's why I use
newspaper.
