NEW POLYBAG HEALTHCARE PRODUCT LINE FROM ELKAY PLASTICS

Los Angeles, CA - Elkay Plastics announces a comprehensive line of polybag products designed specifically for the Healthcare Industry. Elkay is one of the nation's largest suppliers of specialty polybag products. The new Healthcare line further expands the company's massive product offerings beyond Industrial Packaging and Foodservice. The expansion is the culmination of Elkay's extensive experience developing custom products for its medical supply customers. The result is a new line of "off-the-shelf" products that are configured and priced specifically to fit the needs of acute/hospital and long-term care services.

The new Healthcare line is organized into major areas of use for pharmacies, hospitals, laboratories and general healthcare applications. A small sampling of the individual products include:

Specimen transfer bags
PRN Rx bags
Special medication instruction bags
Amber bags for light-sensitive medications
2 and 3-wall construction biohazard transfer bags
Biohazard waste bags
Bedside bags
Nausea bags
STAT bags
Used blood transport bags
Infectious waste liners
Linen liners
Equipment covers

The new Healthcare line was previewed this November at Elkay's National Sales Meeting in Palm Springs, CA. Formal introduction and roll-out of the new line is slated for late January, 2004. The launch program will be broadly supported with catalogs, product sample kits and product training.

Founded in 1968, Elkay Plastics provides the widest selection of flexible plastic packaging, plastic bags and sheeting products in America.
