Polyester Laminated to High Barrier, Coextruded Packaging Film

Polyester Laminated to High Barrier, Coextruded Packaging Film from APS offers oxygen barrier properties for food products that require extended shelf life and odor containment. The film is available in non-structured and stand-up pouch configurations.

Sealed Air to Showcase:

Sealed Air® brand StealthWrap parceling film seals and protects packages during transit, eliminating the need for overboxing.

BUBBLE WRAP® brand Instasheeter Select System

Bubble Wrap® brand Instasheeter Select is a new automated system that streamlines packaging operations by eliminating the need to manually insert protective material.

Bubble Wrap® brand Jiffylite Auto is an automated pack-station system developed for operations using kraft bubble mailers. The tabletop machine enables faster loading and heat sealing, which can improve throughput velocity. The heat seal enables bubble protection at the closure and creates a tamper-evident package.
