Bulk Polybag

Bulk Polybag is the most common type of packaging. Rings or springs are placed into a large sealed bag and then packed in boxes for shipping. This type of packaging is ideal because it is the most cost-effective, efficient, and simple. This is a standard packaging option.

Coin-Style Roll Pack

Coin-style roll pack is another common type of packaging. The rings and springs are neatly lined up and tightly rolled into heavy-weight paper and then placed in boxes for shipping. This type of packaging gets its name because of the resemblance to a roll of coins you would get from a bank. This is a standard packaging option.
