We use the Instapack at work. The machine is a heater that warms the packets before you use them. I think you might be able to just put them in warm water as a substitute. The machine is for convenience.

But if I remember correctly it requires some sort of machine to use them.
I've seen alot of motors and more sensitive items shipped using this, and basicly you would really have to beat the hell out of it to damage the item.
