That’s just a sampling of the plastic bags for any need, available on-spec and on-time, from Universal Plastic.

Also, there’s Poly Sheeting, Poly Tubing on a Roll, Stretch Film and Vacuum Pouches — all available direct from the manufacturer at 20-to-60% discount on wholesale bulk orders from Universal Plastic — to merchants, restaurants, trade show exhibitors, retailers and industrial suppliers.

Informally, you could say Universal Plastic “has it covered” or it’s “in the bag” regardless of size, product, weight or industry need.

Owner Narendra Babaria prefers to talk quality control and manufacturing standards:

“We use state-of-the-art equipment to manufacture our plastic bags and packaging products, with extra emphasis on quality control, including raw materials and latest equipment operated by trained personnel.”

Value-price-seeking Buyers at the February 15 opening day of Off-Price Show bumped up their numbers by almost 800 attendees. Sellers/Exhibitors at Off-Price – the trade show for men’s, women’s and children’s apparel and accessories at 20-to-70% below original wholesale prices – did brisk order writing from day one, according to Top Ten Wholesale’s eyes and ears in Las Vegas.

Economic Stimulus Reality Check. Don Browne, Marketing Manager for Off-Price Specialist Show, saw the bump in attendance stats as one result of marketing the word on off-price product sourcing through more media partners (like Top Ten Wholesale).

Don highlighted a bottom-line fact – sourcing off-price merchandise at up to 70% below wholesale has become a hot marketplace in the current uncertain economy. You Have to Buy Right to Sell Right is Off-Price’s message.

Buyers and Sellers can leverage the sheer scale of a major trade show marketplace, using face-to-face contacts with over 3,500 companies who exhibit thousands of products in 150 leading product categories.

Pick a season – Winter/March or Summer/August or Autumn/September in 2009. Pick a region – ASD/AMD Las Vegas in Winter and Summer. ASD/AMD New York City in September, with Eastern vendors, sellers and warehouse shippers. ASD/AMD has a trade show to meet every Buyer’s and Seller’s needs.

Here are highlights:
