Europe’s leading supermarkets have been early adopters and proponents of the Open- Sesame system, and this adoption is predicted to expand into the US, Canada and Mexico. Open-Sesame is the original two tape opening system that addresses the dual packaging challenges of protecting products throughout the entire distribution channel while meeting display-ready requirements. The Open-Sesame solution is completely integrated into the box and when opened leaves a clean, straight-edged display tray. For more information call 00 31570 635060 or visit
