It's a tall order, to lower your labor costs, inventory, material and operating expenses. Our team of packaging experts can assist in doing just that, all by recommending films, features, improved function, and raising the efficiency and quality of your packaging application. From film extrusion, printing and converting, we are able to manage your bag order start to finish, all completely in-house. Ask us about special co-extruded film for your packaging needs.
By placing blanket orders with Merit, we take the headache out of inventory costs. Let our representatives monitor your usage and release dates, so you don't have to. Ask us about free inventory of your blanket order with scheduled releases.

The right film, gauge and features, guarantees top packaging performance. Sharp extrudes all our own films using the highest grade resins available. Using high grade resin provides construction consistency and high quality bags, from order to order. Special features available include reinforced headers with hang holes for retail display, vent holes or skip seals for air evacuation, and vertical or horizontal perforations for EZ opening.

E-Z Bags® are available on 10", 14" rolls or fan folded in a box. Fan folded in a box allows for more bags in a box, less downtime due to roll changeover, and improved inventory control.

"....we have been purchasing our bags and equipment from another company and were reasonably happy. We came across Sharp Packaging during our quest for a more competitive price, but we were delighted to discover that Sharp offered even more. The service we have received from you (Sharp) has been outstanding. You have remained on top of every detail from start to finish. The art department was helpful and accurate and the quality of the finished product was just what we needed. Everyone we have had contact with, has been extremely courteous and professional."
