Sealstrip Corporation has an intriguing history of developing new ideas for easy opening and resealable packaging. Some of these ideas have revolutionized convenience packaging and we have often been ahead of our time in the marketplace.
Sealstrip's roots began with Formatron, founded in 1959, by Pat Forman. Intrigued by the new shrinkable film introduced by DuPont, he built and patented the first Automatic L-Sealer for shrink packaging.
In the late 1960's, in response to customer requests for an easy open system for shrink packaging, Pat Forman invented Shrink-string. Shrink-String was applied around the product, on the inside of the shrink film, by a Shrink-String applicator and provided an easy open for shrink packaging.
In 1967, Tearstrip Systems, Inc. was formed.
In the mid 1970's, Shrinktape was developed. Shrinktape is a shrinkable pressure sensitive teartape that is applied to the inside of the shrink film. Shrinktape shrinks with the shrink film, providing a easy to recognize and use, easy open system for shrink packaging.
In the late 1970s, in response to a customer request, the Sealstrip Resealable Package was developed. Sealstrip provides easy open, reseal and tamper evident features.
In 1979, Sealstrip Corporation was formed.
The two companies, Tearstrip Systems and Sealstrip, worked together, answering consumer demands for easier packaging. The systems include pressure sensitive tapes and the applicator/converting equipment to create the convenience features for flexible packaging.
In 2002, the two companies merged and have since been providing easy open and resealable features as Sealstrip Corporation.
Over the years, we have counted some of America's largest and best known companies as our customers, such as Kellogg's, Kraft, Keebler, Pillsbury, Breyer's, Gillette, Nabisco, Becton Dickinson, Corning and Glaxo.
The company growth has been measured and deliberate, and we have experienced the ups and downs of the consumer economy over several decades. We are proud of our many long-term relationships with employees, customers, and suppliers. As we thrive through the 21st Century with new innovative solutions, we look forward to our continued success, stability, and growth.
