Kitting Shrink-wrapping

Kit Packaging: Multiple components and parts are packaged to form a kit. For example, books and cd's that are manufactured at two different locations and need to be assembled into sets before they can be sold to stores or consumers. Tell us about your kitting needs.

Shrink-wrapping: Today’s shrink films offer magnificent clarity, making this a popular choice for consumer products. Shrink wrapping is frequently used to unify individual items into multi-packs or to unitize a product with a promotional item. It also keeps packages clean and discourages shoppers from opening them prior to purchase.
