New Developments & Announcements 5-11-09

We will be adding some exciting new products at our stores. There's been a demand for new items in our packaging product lines and we've found 2 products that are very promising. Our meat processing lineup has also been finalized and is listed below, as mentioned previously in our 4/21/09 update.

But before talking about the new products, we'd like to announce our participation in the Robinsons Malls 3-Day May Back To School Sale, ongoing from May 15 (up to midnight), May 16 and May 17 (Regular Mall Hours).

We will also be having a sale in ALL stores from May 14 to 31, 2009 with select products going Buy 1 Take 1 or discounts up to 30% off! Some of these items include:

• our popular Chef Grater
• egg beater
• foil packaging
• plastic bag packaging with designs

As for the new products, first up are the COPP Plastic bags which stand for Co-polymer Polypropylene. It is a type of plastic based on PP (Polypropylene) but is clearer at the expense of being slightly harder and thicker. It can resist alkali and acidic properties quite well like most PP plastics and can stand higher heat temperatures, also similar to most PP plastics. For a nice comparison chart of the most widely used plastic types, visit here. The sizes and prices are listed in the chart below:

For our second new product, we also have Scala boxes available for retail at smaller quantities in our stores.
