10. Operational Procedures

11. InnoSealer With Cutting Blade To Remove Excess Bag

12. Labor/Analysis Study
The labor management team of a prominent supermarket chain conducted a time motion
efficiency study and concluded that the InnoSealer generated in excess of 50% labor
savings versus using wire ties. Corporate reviewed these results, endorsed the InnoSealer
and implemented it chain wide. Below is a break down on the motion efficiency study:
Twist Tie- time to close a bag: 8.6 seconds
Rotate bag with one wrist turn 1 second
Pick up twist tie from table within reach 1 second
Position twist tie at bag 1 second
Secure twist with 4 wrist turns 4 seconds
Put aside sealed bag to table within reach 1 second
INNOSEALER- time to close a bag: 4.15 seconds (half the time of wire tie)
Rotate bag with one wrist turn 1 second
Position bag at sealer 1 second
Apply tamper-evident closure 1 second
Put aside sealed bag to table within reach 1 second
Additional Benefits of the InnoSealer versus the wire tie:
TAMPER-EVIDENT
Food safety is the number one concern for grocery retailers. As the most reliable tamper
evident and resealable closure on the market, the InnoSealer lets the customers know that
they are the first to open the bag (security of product).
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME Many companies have endorsed the InnoSealer as a
means to eliminate the movements associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (repetitive
strain injury from using a twist tie). This makes for healthier and more productive employees.
ELIMINATES WASTE The mess and waste associated with wire ties, i.e. sweeping the
floor, picking out of the bread slicer and the amount of ties that are just wire with no paper
on them, is eliminated when using the InnoSealer.

13. Customers and Markets Served
Vegetable Growers and Packers
The InnoSealer is used by many vegetable growers and packers in the fields
of Salinas, California, Yuma, Arizona and Imperial Valley for field pack
commodities such as wrapped head lettuce.

14. Supermarket In-Store Bakeries

17. FAQ’s
Q. How do I change the rolls in my InnoSealer Machine?
1. Load tape sticky side up - tape end hangs outside the casing
2. Paper travels through the paper channel into one of the wheel ports
3. Advance the wheel counter clockwise until the paper fits into one of
the ports
4. Close the machine
Note: The first seal is lost, as the tape must attach to the paper. You
have correctly fitted the new paper and tape roll if on the second
closing you have a tape and paper seal. If not, then retrace above
steps.
