The very qualities that make certain packages hard to steal can also make them difficult for the consumer to open. DMI, Wharton, NJ, offers the StretchCard package, which uses a transparent film (which can be eco-friendly, corn-based PLA film) that is stretched over the item, allowing for almost complete product visibility. On either side of the film is cardstock to display the product name, marketing messages, ingredients listing or discount coupons. Options such as perfing, die-cutting, color and size selection, packaging designs, type of film and custom shape are available.
