The amount of packing material is 1506 cubic inches

<h3>How to determine the amount of packing material?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Radius, r = 7 inches

Height, h = 18 inches

Base dimension, l = 15 inches

Height, h = 19 inches

The volume of the can is:

$V = \pi r^2h$

So, we have:

$V_1 = 3.14 * 7^2 * 18$

$V_1 = 2769$

The volume of the box is

$V =l^2h$

So, we have:

$V_2 =15^2 * 19$

$V_2 =4275$

The amount of packing material is;

Amount = V2 - V1

This gives

Amount = 4275 - 2769

Evaluate

Amount = 1506

Hence, the amount of packing material is 1506 cubic inches
