Univenture Debuts New Biodegradable EcoEndure™ Mailers at Graph Expo

Biodegradable Polypropylene for Direct Mail Applications Now Available

Marysville, OH -- September 7, 2007 -- Univenture, Inc., the award winning inventor and manufacturer of a wide array of environmentally sustainable products, announced it is extending its product line to offer biodegradable polypropylene direct mail products and solutions.  This new addition to the EcoEndure product line featuring biodegradable polypropylene will debut at Graph Expo on September 9-12, 2007 at McCormick Place South in Chicago, IL.  The EcoEndure product line and Univenture’s complete line of environmentally friendly and sustainable direct mail products will be available for viewing in Booth 2493 in the Mailing and Fulfillment Center.

“Univenture’s commitment to the environment began with the Safety-sleeve® disc sleeves which reduced the plastic needed for a disc package by over 90% and was our first product invented and manufactured,” said Ross Youngs, Univenture’s CEO and Founder.  “The new EcoEndure EnvyPak envelopes and mailers for direct mail, manufactured of biodegradable polypropylene, are an exciting addition to our product line. Univenture can now offer additional products and solutions for marketing and direct mail professionals seeking environmentally sound options to choose from,” added Youngs.

The EcoEndure EnvyPaks are produced with biodegradable polypropylene.  Univenture products produced with Enhanced Bio Decomposition additives maintain the same useful life as non-EBD packaging throughout its useful life. It is not until the envelope or package is disposed of that the material properties break down.

Univenture’s EnvyPaks manufactured of 100% polypropylene are resistant to chemical attack, offer a wider temperature range, and are an ideal material for direct mail campaigns. Equally important, polypropylene is 100% recyclable worldwide.

Univenture has also developed a line of EnvyPak envelopes manufactured from 100% sustainable and annually renewable PLA, made from corn.   The company’s sustainable PLA EnvyPaks provide direct mail and packaging alternatives from an annually renewable and sustainable resource.

EnvyPak is the clear choice when the message needs to shine through, providing branding both inside and out. Recipients can immediately see what is inside. This helps ensure the sender’s message will be quickly seen, enhancing the likelihood the envelope will be opened and the contents read, watched, or listened to.

The most notable benefit of Univenture’s EnvyPak technology is that it encourages such a wide variety of products from very diverse applications. Custom designed products can be manufactured very economically, making it a perfect alternative for marketing and direct mail projects. You control the creativity, to impact your response.

All EnvyPak envelopes feature a wide variety of eye-popping materials with numerous customization options, including full-color and translucent, customized printing, or foil decoration on all its surfaces, whether used on the outside or in.

EnvyPak closure options include permanent and resealable peel and seal closures and are also in compliance with traditional hot-melt automation and adhesive applications. Perforated tear strips are also easily incorporated for no-hassle opening.  EnvyPak envelopes meet USPS requirements and specifically comply with UFSM 1000 and AFSM 100 automation criteria.  All EnvyPak mailers have been tested by the American Standard Testing Method (ASTM) and meet all Domestic Mail standards for the United States Post Office. The CD mailer is also automation compliant with standard disc-insertion equipment.

EnvyPak bind-in products offer solid design for use in all perfect and saddle-stitch bound publications, and are compatible with automated disc insertion equipment.
