    We often use large heavy duty garbage bags to make large pouches. If we want our foam to be desnser (is that a word?), we will through some packing p-nuts in the bag before we shoot the foam. As the foam rises, it captures the p-nuts and distributes them in the foam and gives it a little stiffer consistancy. You need to play around to see what works best for your packing needs. Be very careful with the FIP, once it gets on something, it is next to impossible to get off. I've ruined pants, shoes, the carpet in my back room. Fortunately, no customers stuff. Also keep in mind that the chemical reaction produces about 150 deg F heat. It can burn you and melt some items. You don't want to pack chocolate with it. Finally, the vapor given off contains carbon dioxide and can cause some people with epilepcy to have a seizure.
