Polyair Customers 'Bubbly' Over Unexpected Savings and Teamwork From Protective Packaging Company CHICAGO, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Polyair, http://www.polyair.com/, an industry leader in the North American protective packaging market, continues to gain ground through their complete focus on over-delivering on savings to their customers. Polyair provides a team-focused approach that reviews every step of their customer's packaging process and designs a fully customized system that's integrated with existing facilities and objectives. Their ingenious approach not only provides material cost savings but actually removes significant costs from their customers' packaging process - savings beyond what their customers were even expecting. As showcased at ProMat 2005, held at McCormick Place South in Chicago from January 10 - 13, 2005, visitors to the Polyair booth (#2577) are invited to meet the Polyair team and review their comprehensive line of packaging system solutions. Featured system solutions -- designed to work in any environment across diverse business sectors -- include: * AirSpace Pillow Packaging that provides on-demand air pillows for cushioning and void-filling. * Polyair's Sealer 2000 that creates extra large size pouches for furniture and other large products to eliminate redundant packaging including corrugated sleeves, plastic bags, foam, adhesive/cohesive and standard bubble, decreases labor and is re-usable. * Kangaroo Pouch Machine that creates custom, on-demand pouches at the customer facility. * Polyair Sheeter that provides on-demand foam or bubble sheets in custom sizes to deliver big savings on inventory, labor, freight material as well as eliminating lead times on custom sizes. "Today with competition so fierce and margins so tight, it's important to go beyond the usual packaging system solutions and deliver the next level of savings," said Mitch Solway, Director of Marketing, Polyair. "At Polyair, we strive to continually exceed customer expectations by carefully scrutinizing their systems and processes looking to find every opportunity along the packaging line to squeeze every penny out of their costs.

AirSpace Pillow Packaging System 'Deflates' Competitors "We deliver maximum cost savings and flawless design and execution to our customers by drawing upon the human capital that makes Polyair unique," said Trent Harkness, Product Manager for Integration for Air Space. "Our customer installation engineers, installation and maintenance technicians, on-call fabricators and on-site operator training and support work together to deliver 'made-to-measure' savings and efficiency to our customers." Industry leaders including Amazon and Best Buy are veteran customers who appreciate the reduced void-fill material and shipping costs, faster on-line throughput, reduction in customer complaints and in packaging support labor and the improvement in employee disability-related absenteeism that Polyair's Airspace Program delivers.

Polyair delivers customized solutions to all size work environments across multiple sectors including publishing, parts distribution, cosmetics, drug and pharmacy, retail chain, mail order, fulfillment centers, computer accessories, medical devices, video, CD and DVD distribution and contract packaging. Sealer 2000 Machine Seals Up Savings Despite the declining furniture marketplace in North America, Polyair's sales to this sector have more than doubled over the last two years. Polyair's Sealer 2000 Machine allows furniture manufacturers, and anyone else who ships large products that require significant bubble and foam wrapping and material, to drive costs down and protect their margins. Polyair's Sealer 2000 allows customers to produce on-demand large size pouches using Polyair's exclusive 3rd Web Center Folded Bubble with its unique High Density High Slip inner layer. This unique inner layer delivers faster packing and allows the product to slide on the bubble during transit, significantly reducing damage from snagging with traditional wrap. This technology is ideal for; sofa's, ottomans, chairs, tables, armoires, bed boards or any large product requiring significant bubble and foam wrapping and material. Norwalk Furniture and Federated Department Stores are industry leaders who appreciate the cost savings and attention to customized integration that the Sealer 2000 delivers. "Our exclusive Furniture Program Calculator lets customers factor in labor, overheard and material to deliver actionable savings," adds Solway. "To get the lowest possible cost, we help our customers look beyond materials costs to review the entire packaging process." "The Sealer 2000 eliminates the need for redundant packaging including corrugated sleeves, plastic bags, foam, adhesive/cohesive and standard bubble by allowing the formation of pre-set bag sizes that deliver an all-in-one solution to pack furniture or other large objects," adds Harkness. Made-to-Order Pouch "Polyair's Kangaroo Pouch Machine is the first compact automatic pouch that sits in a customer's facility," adds Solway. "Pouches are one of the best ways for Polyair customers to save time and money when packaging products. This product was developed as a result of feedback from many of Polyair's customers who needed a quick, effective, customizable packaging solution. And to date, we are still the only ones offering this type of application." Polyair Sheeter 'Shears' Costs Polyair's Sheeter provides on-demand foam or bubble sheets in custom sizes that 'shear' costs on inventory, labor and freight material as well as eliminate lead times for custom sizes. The Sheeter uses standard roll stock with up to eight pre-set lengths with an on-board photo sensor that offers fast delivery and lower material costs and the ability to change sizes instantly.
