Recent innovations

Clean Strip

CleanStrip®: Clean Strip® is our patent pending tear strip that makes film ream wrap "easy open". The strip is located at the top of the wrapper, allowing users to tear off the top while maintaining the integrity of the wrapper for storage. Unused sheets stay well protected, minimizing paper damage.

Pinch Bottom Woven Poly Bags

Pinch Bottom Woven Poly Bags: Our exclusive pinch bottom woven poly bags can be combined with slider zipper, roll-fold tape, pinch at both ends (we seal one end, you seal the other), and traditional sewn closures to meet any requirements your customers have. The new pinch closure offers the benefits of increased graphic/advertising space and differentiation from competitors. Pinch woven poly bags perform like paper bags on existing heat-seal equipment.

Woven Poly Bags

Woven Poly Bags:  Woven poly bags offer strength, durability and weather resistance along with outstanding graphics. Product damage claims are minimized due to the extreme integrity of woven poly and customers appreciate its reliability and recyclability.

Foil Pouch Replacement

Foil Pouch Replacement: Our paper/poly/heat sealable metalized film replaces traditional paper/poly/foil/poly products. This product is extremely successful on customer filling equipment and provides a more cost-effective, attractive substitute for the traditional pouch. It increases line speed and product puncture resistance, and because the foil and poly overcoat layers are replaced with the heat sealable metalized film, it yields substantial savings in other areas as well.
