World’s Leading Manufacturer of Water-Activated Tape Dispensers Wins Quality Improvement Award for its E-Z Pull Tab Tape That Protects the Safety of Workers and Consumers

Shelton, CT (PRWEB) August 9, 2005

Better Packages—the number-one trusted name in water-activated tape dispensers and carton sealers for over 85 years—was recently awarded a "Silver CQIA Innovation Price" for one of its latest innovations, BP E-Z Pull Tab® Tape for use with case sealers as well as automatic and manual tape dispensers.

The CQIA (Connecticut Quality Improvement Award Partnership, Inc.) acknowledges Connecticut companies for producing innovative products and services. Better Packages’ BP E-Z Pull Tab Packaging Tape has been recognized by the partnership as a product that can improve lives by increasing safety in the working community and among consumers. The packing tape employs a unique, patented tear strip, which eliminates the need for dangerous box cutters or sharp implements to open sealed cartons.

BP E-Z Pull Tab Tape was designed to:

• Protect workers in settings such as receiving areas, warehouses and grocery stores from being cut while opening boxes with box cutters, knives or razor blades.
• Create an easy and safe method for customers to open the parcels they receive, whether catalog orders, confidential documents or boxed checks.
• Reduce excessive product damage and lost revenue from box cutters and sharp implements typically used to open packages.

Philip White, president and CEO, said, "At Better Packages, we’re focused on providing solutions that enable our customers to create packaging that’s simple, safe and secure. Not only is it important to protect what’s inside the box from damage, tampering or theft, it’s also critical to go a step further and think outside the box to protect the safety of workers and consumers. By design, BP E-Z Pull Tab Tape is a simple, cost-effective means to achieve both those objectives."

BP E-Z Pull Tab Tape, as well as a full line of tape dispensers and case sealers, will be on display in the Better Packages booth N8515 at PackExpo in Las Vegas, September 26 to 28.
