X CARD ™

ECO-FRIENDLYWe use 100% post-consumer recyclable materials and all paper products are SFI certified. Our quick production and no heat use also results in reduced energy consumption.

HIGH QUALITY PACKAGINGThe X Card visibly showcases your product, provides security from theft and tampering, and allows for a large billboard to display your message to the customer.

SAFETYWe use non-hazardous, water-based adhesives that we’re able to pattern-coat so glue will never touch your product, making packaging easier and safer for consumers to open.

FASTER TURN-AROUNDProduction time with the X Card is much faster than traditional heat seal methods, allowing increased speed-to-market. New orders are completed in as few as 2 weeks and repeat orders in days.

LOWER COSTSFaster throughput translates to lower labor and energy costs. Adopting our ACRM90 sealing equipment can also eliminate your tooling costs. We’ve shown a 20-40% per unit total cost savings.

VERSATILITYSince it can utilize current heat sealers, the X Card cohesive blister packaging system is adaptable for products of most shapes and sizes.
