St. Louis, Missouri (PRWEB) November 15, 2016 -- Sinclair & Rush, Inc., through its VisiPak division, has successfully completed the acquisition of National Plastics, Inc., of St. Louis, Missouri, a thermoform manufacturer focused on clamshell packaging and clamshell stocking programs.

The move increases manufacturing capacity and augments packaging options for customers from both businesses. The VisiPak customer base will have an expanded selection of clamshell packaging with over 140 additional sizes and styles bringing the total to over 170 in-stock, ready-to-ship options. The National Plastics customer base will now have access to the complete line of VisiPak packaging solutions including plastic tube container packaging, clear folding cartons, flexible vinyl caps and plastic plugs for use with its plastic tube containers.
