Packaging Resources Inc. is launchings it Schutte Clipp in the US market with hopes of offering an alternative to options for food manufacturers looking for ways to seal things like bread and potatoes.
The company, which is owned by the Holland-based Schutte, has been selling the automatic bag closing pieces in Europe for about 30 years. But they had hesitated to bring the product to the US because of possible patent issues with its competitor, Quik Lok, says Jeff Lukas, president of Packaging Resources Inc. and the US marketing representative of Schutte.
