Household Product Bag Packaging

If you’re packaging parts for a new appliance or modular furniture, then you know you need a cost-effective and flexible solution for manuals, warranty cards, spare parts and assembly kits.

Direct-to-bag, inline printing of barcodes, graphics and text are ideal for product identification, while pre-printing in up to 10-colors can set your retail household products apart from others on the shelves.

Case Study

Ampulla invested in an AirPouch<sup>®</sup> FastWrap™ system to increase productivity and reduce in-transit damage of its glassware lines.

Background
Based in Hyde, Greater Manchester, Ampulla is the consumer retail arm of Amphorea, Europe’s largest wholesale supplier of glass, aluminum and plastic containers for applications including chemicals, foodstuffs, fragrances and paints.
