JANUARY 2007

HAPPY NEW YEAR
We would like to wish all of our customers a very happy and prosperous New Year. Hopefully 2006 was filled with success and 2007 will be even better. While the recent ice storm caused us all to miss a few days, we are glad to be back to normal.

ELECTRONIC STATEMENTS
This will be the first statement that many of you will receive electronically. We are very excited about this new capability which will allow us to get information to you in a more timely fashion. If you would like to receive your statements via the internet, please contact George Schinler @ 512-836-7644 and he can set up your account. This will also allow you to look at your purchase history, order online and have access to all of your pricing. However, if you would still like to receive your statements by mail or fax, please contact Abby Blank @ 512-836-7644 and we will be glad to make the change.

VOLUME BASED PRICING
On recent invoices, some of you may have noticed lower prices that what is advertised on our current price lists. The reason for this is we have added volume based pricing beyond our regular less than and bundle pricing for our customers. As of yet, we are not able to print out a list of the volume breaks and discounts. However, the prices are available on our new website, or you can just call us and we will be happy to go over where the breaks would be and what the discounts are. We are able to offer this new volume based pricing because of a new software capability and most importantly, our commitment of providing you the most competitive pricing.

NEW PRODUCTS
In the past, we carried the Instapak expandable in-place foam. We sold the packets individually to customers. However, the problem with this was that the had to be activated with a special heating element. We now have found the Instapak foam bags that do not need to be heated. These new bags can be activated at room temperature. We will be selling these bags individually. The sizes of the bags are:

10x10x10
12x12x12
18x12x12

The bags provide the same protection as the heated bags without the warming time. The bags work best in a temperature between 65 and 90 degrees.

If you would like to see a demonstration of the Instapak foam, please go to the following link.

If you have any questions about usage or pricing, please give us a call @ 512-836-7644.

We greatly appreciate your continued business,
