Q: What are your edge-to-edge printing capabilities/limitations on specific mailer types?

Q: Why is the interior of your poly mailers gray?

A: We use gray as a security measure. This prevents people from being able to read through the mailer.

A: The double seal provides the end-user with the option to return using that same bag. This is also a way to present a “green” alternative to the Recycled and Biodegradable PolyJackets.

Q: Are folding cartons used as a corrugated shipping alternative?

A: No. Folding cartons are used as a primary protection that are typically master packed in corrugated and shipped.
