Selling Stockholder named below so long as the Registration

Aud Rolseth Sanner 5,072 5,072
All of the shares covered by this Prospectus were
issued by Sealed Air pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated
as of May 30, 1994, as amended (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"),
between Sealed Air B.V., a Netherlands company and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Sealed Air (the "Purchaser"), Aud Rolseth Sanner, a
Norwegian individual (the "Selling Stockholder"), and Sealed Air,
pursuant to which the Purchaser acquired all of the outstanding
shares of Emballasje-Teknikk AS, a Norwegian company (the
"Acquired Company"), on September 8, 1994 (the "Emtek
Acquisition"). The Stock Purchase Agreement contains mutual
indemnification provisions between Sealed Air and the Selling
Stockholder covering this registration and offering.
The Selling Stockholder did not hold any position or
have a material relationship with Sealed Air or any affiliate of
Sealed Air during the three years preceding the consummation of
the Emtek Acquisition. Since the Emtek Acquisition, the Selling
Stockholder has served as the general manager and a director of
the Acquired Company, which as a result of the Emtek Acquisition
is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sealed Air.
Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchase price
is to be paid in four installments, the first of which was paid
at the closing on September 8, 1994, with the others payable on
January 25, 1995, January 25, 1996 and September 8, 1997. Each
installment can be paid, at the Purchaser's option, in cash, in
shares of Sealed Air's Common Stock valued at the time such
shares are issued, or in a combination of cash and shares of
Sealed Air's Common Stock, subject to a cumulative limit on the
two remaining future payments in shares of Sealed Air's Common
Stock of shares valued at 3,625,000 Norwegian krona. The shares
covered by this Prospectus were issued in partial payment of the
installment paid on January 25, 1995.

<PAGE>
Based on information furnished to Sealed Air by the Selling
Stockholder, the only shares of Sealed Air Common Stock owned by her at the
commencement of this offering were the shares which she acquired
in the January 25, 1995 installment. Sealed Air has been advised
that 11,079 shares of Sealed Air's Common Stock that were issued
to the Selling Stockholder at the closing on September 8, 1994
were resold by the Selling Stockholder before the date of this
Prospectus under a registration statement previously filed by
Sealed Air in order to permit such resale. Sealed Air has agreed
with the Selling Stockholder that, if additional shares of Sealed
Air's Common Stock are issued in payment of future installments
due under the Stock Purchase Agreement, it will file registration
statements with respect to the shares so issued in order to
permit their resale by the Selling Stockholder on substantially
the same terms and conditions as this Registration Statement.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Sealed Air has been advised that the Shares may be sold
from time to time by the Selling Stockholder or by her pledgees,
donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales
may be made in one or more transactions on the New York Stock
Exchange, including ordinary brokers' transactions, block
transactions, privately negotiated transactions effected on that
Exchange, or through sales to one or more brokers or dealers for
resale of such Shares as principals on or off such Exchange, at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related
to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Sealed
Air has also been advised that usual and customary or specially
negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the
Selling Stockholder in connection with such sales, where
appropriate, and that no agreements, arrangements or
understandings have been entered into with brokers or dealers
pertaining to the distribution of the Shares. The Selling
Stockholder and any brokers or dealers that participate with the
Selling Stockholder in effecting transactions in the Shares may
be deemed, without so admitting, to be underwriters. Any profits
received by the Selling Stockholder and any discounts, fees or
commissions received by such brokers or dealers might be deemed
to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities
Act. In addition, any of the Shares that qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under
Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. Sealed Air
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares.
LEGAL OPINION
The validity of the shares of Common Stock offered
hereby has been passed upon for Sealed Air by Robert M. Grace,
Jr., Esq., General Counsel and Secretary of Sealed Air. As of
the date of this Prospectus, Mr. Grace was employed by Sealed Air
and was the beneficial owner of approximately 48,904 shares of
Sealed Air Common Stock.
EXPERTS

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.
The fees and expenses to be paid by the Registrant in
connection with the distribution of the securities being
registered hereby are estimated as follows:
Registration Fee.......................$ 100.00
Accounting Fees and Expenses.......... 15,000.00
Miscellaneous.......................... 1,000.00
Total.......................$16,100.00
Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the "General Corporation Law") provides that: (1)
under certain circumstances a corporation may indemnify a
director or officer made party to, or threatened to be made party
to, any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action,
suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of
the corporation) because such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or because such
person is or was so serving another enterprise at the request of
the corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to criminal cases, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful;
(2) under certain circumstances a corporation may indemnify a
director or officer made party to, or threatened to be made party
to, any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation for
judgment in favor of the corporation because such person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or
because such person is or was so serving another enterprise at
the request of the corporation, against expenses reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (3) a
director or officer shall be indemnified by the corporation
against expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with and to the extent that such person has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in the preceding clauses, or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein.
Under Article THIRTEENTH of the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation and Article VIII of the Registrant's
By-Laws, indemnification of directors and officers is provided
for to the fullest extent permitted under the General Corporation
Law. Article EIGHTEENTH of the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation eliminates the liability of directors for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except to the
extent such exemption from liability is not permitted under the
General Corporation Law. The General Corporation Law, the
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the
Registrant permit the purchase by the Registrant of insurance for
indemnification of directors and officers. The Registrant
currently maintains directors and officers liability insurance.
The foregoing summary of Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law, Articles THIRTEENTH and EIGHTEENTH of the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant and Article VIII
of the By-Laws of the Registrant is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the relevant provisions of Section 145, the relevant
provisions of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation,
which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 3.2 to the
Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 1995, File No. 1-7834, and the relevant provisions of
the Registrant's By-Laws, which are incorporated herein by
reference to Exhibit 3.3 to the Registrant's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, File No. 1-7834.
The Registrant and the selling stockholder named in the
Prospectus have agreed to indemnify each other, as well as in the
case of the selling stockholder any person who controls the
Registrant, against certain liabilities under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, as set forth in Section 9(d) of the Stock
Purchase Agreement constituting Exhibit 2 to this Registration
Statement.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-
effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement
(notwithstanding the foregoing any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered [if the total dollar
value of securities offered would not exceed that which
was registered] and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement);
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs
(i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to

S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
