Dual Compartment Bags |
| Dual Compartment Bags: A two compartment security bag. The cash or valuables are in a compartment secured by the Alert Security Seal maximum security adhesive closure and the deposit slip and other non negotiable items are in a separate compartment with standard security adhesive closure. |
Three Types or Styles of Pouch Bags- Bottom Pouch
- Side by Side Pouch
- Back Pouch
|
| Bottom Pouch Bag - The Alert Security Bag Style. |
| Packaging Horizons manufactures a bottom pouch bag that is the specified design by the largest cash collection banks. This style of construction places the document pouch below the cash compartment. The cash compartment can be inspected from either side. |
| Side by Side Pouch Bags. |
| We do not manufacture this style of bag. The bottom pouch bag is the more widely used construction. |
| Back Pouch Bag. |
| Packaging Horizons does not manufacture a back pouch bag. We discontinued the back pouch bag about 10 years ago because this bag style has an inherent security flaw. Document(s) can be removed from the back pouch and a cut then made through the film thereby allowing access to the cash compartment. After cash is removed, the removed document(s) can be replaced to cover the cut and obscure the tampering. |

Combining Sizes |
| Can I combine a number of sizes and use the combined total cases for pricing? |

Pricing Comparison |
Prices for Alert Security Bags Compared to Competing Products |
| Occasionally, the pricing may appear to be higher than competing products for the same bag size. |
| Three (3) important considerations should be analyzed in comparing pricing. |
| 1. | It is best to compare pricing based on the price per individual bag. Many companies package security bags in small quantities in order to give the illusion of a low price. Simply divide the case price by the bags per case to determine the cost per individual bag. Now you are comparing on an equal basis. Our pricing chart actually does the analysis for you. We can fax, e-mail or mail a price sheet to you along with our other product literature. |
| |
| 2. | The second consideration in pricing comparison is the quality of the security bag. All security bags are not equivalent:- Lower cost bags may be made from thinner or lower strength materials. Alert Security Bags are produced from a heavy gauge, coextruded film that optimizes seal strength, puncture resistance and overall film strength.
- The tamper evident tape on low cost bags will not provide the high level of security demonstrated by the Alert Security Seal. Many of our competitors use inexpensive hot melt adhesives as their closure; however, as a sole source of protection, this adhesive is easily violated by exposure to temperature and/or solvents. The Alert Security Seal provides its positive indicating ALERT/VOID message under these conditions. For additional information regarding the Alert Security Seal, click here.
- Low cost bags may have very thin seals at the sides of the bag. Alert Security Bags have wide inset seals providing strength and the best evidence of tampering.
