The Mailscreen Suspicious Mail Isolation System helps first responders handle suspicious mail from the point of discovery through to a testing facility. This system provides an airtight method to isolate, contain, and safely examine suspicious mail and packages.  MAILSCREEN provides a safe method to isolate and remove a mail threat from the premises with minimal disruption. Employee safety in the workplace is important.  Minimizing the risk of letter mail threats is a reasonable measure to protect employees and assets. This Mail Isolation System was developed in cooperation with law enforcement entities to combat airborne contamination threats. High-risk contamination incidents, like anthrax scares, show the continued importance of quick response containment units. This allows first responder teams to immediately address these scares and neutralize any packages that may be a contamination risk, by quarantining them on-site then safely relocating the unit to a secure location.  

Designed to safely contain suspect letters or parcels in a completely airtight environment, MAILSCREEN cannot be compromised during handling and transport once suspicious materials have been sealed within. Any package suspected to be a threat can be isolated to minimize potential contamination of the surrounding area – not just to protect those in immediate proximity, but for anyone in the building space that is sharing the same air.

Each MAILSCREEN is custom fabricated from ½” cast acrylic. This ensures strength and rigidity to prevent the case walls from bowing or flexing. Because the box is hand-constructed, it avoids the structural problems that molded plastics often suffer from at 90º angle joints, preventing any crack or torque-related handling issues. The lid is ¾” thick with an O-ring seal, held tightly to the box by 8 evenly placed clamps. The joints are bonded and sealed with a plastic solvent and completely airtight. A frame fits precisely inside the box to further support the O-ring. The interior dimensions of the box are 24” long x 18” wide x 13½” high. It weighs 52 pounds.
