InTech Introduces MultiPak and ValuPak

InTech Direct, Inc. introduces MultiPak™ and ValuPak™; two revolutionary packaging concepts uniquely finished with a Surlyn film skin application.

MultiPak™ allows multiple gift card activations with a single POS transaction.  MultiPak™ is available for barcode or mag stripe activated cards.  Cards are bundled in sets of 3, 5, 8 or 10 and offered in several different carrier sizes, ranging from 5 ¼” for third party applications, to 7” where needed.

MultiPak™ offers both a Stacked format, showing only the top card in the bundle, and a Display format.  The Display format staggers the cards showing all, or a portion, of each card in the pak.  Both formats are affixed in easy open, yet secure packaging and are packaged using InTech Direct’s triple scan verification process ensuring accuracy within each pak.

“MultiPak™ is ideal for restaurant partners, party favors, and as a cash management tool; there are really an unlimited number of opportunities” says Steve Schmitt, President of InTech Direct.

ValuPak™ is packaged using the same unique skinning application, but pairs a value added premium item with a single gift card.  The premium item and gift card are clearly shown on a hang hook compatible carrier, allowing for both magnetic stripe and barcode POS valuation.

Examples of premium items include fishing lures, key chains, and golf tees.  ValuPak™ is available in multiple sizes and accommodates your premium item without the need for expensive dies, molds or tooling costs.

Bob Federico, VP of Sales for InTech Direct believes “ValuPak™ is an ideal way for retailers to differentiate themselves and provide more value to their consumers, especially in the current economy.”

Both Steve and Bob agree that what sets InTech’s MultiPak™ and ValuPak™ apart is the PVC free Surlyn film application which provides a clear and secure covering. While very strong, the Surlyn film comes with an easy open slit that allows the end consumer easy, yet evident access to the premium item and the gift card

While the entire package is covered, our unique Fold Forward mechanism, allows the sales associate at the POS, to simply fold the bottom of the carrier forward, exposing the magnetic stripe. After swiping the carrier is simply folded back in place and secured using the provided tab.  For barcode only POS applications, a simple window is provided for activation.
