SHRINK BAGS	For low volume needs for items like CD'S, VIDEO'S, SOAP, BOOKS, GIFT ITEMS. These bags provide an inexpensive option and place to start.
SHRINK WRAP	Products in the shrink wrap group are generally used to apply a thin plastic film (clear or printed) over retail type products. The shrink wrap process completely encloses the item in plastic film. Printers, binderies, software companies, video and CD duplicators, and other retailer's find shrink wrap best suited for them.
SHRINK BANDS	Tamper evident seals for the top of bottles and for banding items together.
BAG SEALERS	Bag sealers are used in nearly every application in packaging. Foot operated and manual type sealers are generally the least expensive; yet still prove labor savings.
BUNDLING	The equipment and materials in the bundling category generally hold large items together. This process partially encloses the item packaged in plastic film but leaves two ends open.
BLISTER PACKAGING	Blister Packaging uses a ridged PVC shell that encloses a product and is attached to a piece of foil or chip board (thin cardboard) for items like fishing lures or small retail parts.
SKIN PACKAGING	Skin Packaging forms a very tight sheet of plastic film that has been vacuumed down over the product. The end result is generally backed in cardboard on one side and film on the other. This type of packaging is used for retailing tools or parts and shipping items such as circuit boards.
VACUUM FORMING	Vacuum forming is the process used for making the blister used in blister packaging or in making clam shells.
VACUUM SEALING	This process uses sealers that modify the atmosphere inside the the bag. Food and electronics industries use this process heavily.
SCALES & FILLING SYSTEMS	Scales and filling devices are the true labor savers in portioning products. Coffee, spices, soil and other free flowing items can be accurately dispensed.
STRAPPING	Strapping tools are used in shipping products. Strapping is one of the economical methods for holding items together. Items ranging from I.C. trays to bundles of lumber.
