History of Popcorn as Packing Material
Most people are familiar with the lightweight, loose fill packing material known as "popcorn." However, few may know about its intriguing origins. The concept was born in the early 1950s at Tektronix, a company searching for improved cushioning methods for shipping products. One innovative mind suggested using actual popped popcorn, with early implementations reportedly involving hot-air popped corn sourced locally from vendors in Beaverton, Oregon.
In winter of 1951-1952, while working in the test department, I witnessed firsthand how delicate products were tested and prepared for shipping. After rigorous checks and calibrations, products would be placed in a cycle to catch early failures before shipment. It was during this time that an employee named Paul Belles sought a cost-saving measure by using popcorn as packing material. Interestingly, this move surprised customers on the East Coast who unboxed their shipments from Ory-Gone.
The amusing saga describes large bags of popcorn suspended from the ceiling in the shipping area. One day, a mishap occurred when a worker filling a box unexpectedly dropped a dead rat from the popcorn bag, leading to humorous yet somewhat serious consequences.
US Patent 3,108,583 for "loose fill packing material" was filed on December 21, 1961, and issued on June 8, 1963, to Robert E. Holden, originally assigned to Tektronix. This patent marked a significant milestone in the evolution of packing materials.
