really nice girl who loved to bake some of the most tasty things. Surprisingly, this young lady was very
slender and surly didn't shy away from her own creations. One of the best things she ever made felt like
it was custom made just for me. (It probably was) I have to say that the recipe is really
rather simple but the end results were amazing.
I think she got the idea from eating some of my mom's banana pudding
recipe. Which is really more like a
banana cake and pudding mix. Instead of
doing bananas she ended up skipping the healthy side and going right for our
favorite candy box candy.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/79lpSvgChLg" width="320" youtube-src-id="79lpSvgChLg"></iframe></div><p></p>
<p class="normal">So what you start with is a giant bowl. The bowl is the main part and I like to think
of it as a full size popcorn bowl. If it
can hold two bags or batches of popcorn then it is the right size bowl. Then you end up heading to the store and
getting a chocolate cake mix. It
actually takes two boxes of this and you will also need to pick up a tub of
cool whip as well. From here you need to
get your favorite <a href="http://www.bestofextensions.com">candy boxes</a> or bags of candy.
I prefer chocolate and really recce cups for my favorite. Don't forget to get two packages of chocolate
pudding as well. That is it, now you can
get ready to bake a yummy dessert.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODwDmSqH72qWjDa2hpgaA2Z56RrM7qNz0nBxWMA6QFlxlX6GMOGX7BS6SdaOK4-7-8Vahj4G4CtZLJ0W6UEQXD7Wn4F98Y4rrV_UCVTX0LCF5xxAiV-Z88rkrDnCIbQcBFndf_z2wCK6j/s400/APPLE-CARAMELS-3-of-3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="400" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODwDmSqH72qWjDa2hpgaA2Z56RrM7qNz0nBxWMA6QFlxlX6GMOGX7BS6SdaOK4-7-8Vahj4G4CtZLJ0W6UEQXD7Wn4F98Y4rrV_UCVTX0LCF5xxAiV-Z88rkrDnCIbQcBFndf_z2wCK6j/w400-h225/APPLE-CARAMELS-3-of-3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p class="normal"><br /></p>
<p class="normal">So first thing you do is to put the two cake
mixes into a few pans and bake just as the boxes say. From that point on you also need to get a big
bowl and make the pudding. There is no
need to be picky and put them in two separate bowls. This mix will all go together anyway. So once the cake is done it is best to let it
cool and cut it into small squares. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWWuqRIuqSkMOpHIC4CRyyINNs1fHkeGjCapR7HtaWOZ0L7C67wKunLsamIbljNCeiX1OOnzT9sZrfFUsjxznNrnv5GM17OJJTkoTuvMtCAfXXaNcaUFprezJHN8INufu8A9KTUnlIe_x/s354/f6adabfdff7eef91451d53ac27d2a361.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="236" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWWuqRIuqSkMOpHIC4CRyyINNs1fHkeGjCapR7HtaWOZ0L7C67wKunLsamIbljNCeiX1OOnzT9sZrfFUsjxznNrnv5GM17OJJTkoTuvMtCAfXXaNcaUFprezJHN8INufu8A9KTUnlIe_x/w266-h400/f6adabfdff7eef91451d53ac27d2a361.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><p></p><p class="normal"> Well
make them half the size of a normal piece of cake. Then when you are done make a single layer of
them stacked together in your gain popcorn bowl. Then add a layer of pudding
and cool whip. Then take your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reese's_Peanut_Butter_Cups">reese cups</a> and layer them. And continue this
process till you reach the top, usually 3 layers. Then on top use a full layer of cool whip and
pudding topped with recce cups. ENJOY it is my favorite and I hope you find
yours as well.</p><br />Karen Zavalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08050722049384441195noreply@blogger.com0Las Vegas, NV, USA36.1699412 -115.13982967.8597073638211512 -150.29607959999998 64.480175036178849 -79.9835796tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526260786000540911.post-67868709983271553942017-08-07T23:47:00.003-07:002020-07-30T13:23:43.793-07:00Getting Candy in the New Normal<p class="normal">This year has changed the way the world

I have to admit that health can come in a multitude of ways and it
certainly is troubling to think about how to stay healthy. The pandemic has changed so many
things and has added a lot of regulations into people's lives. I am not saying any of it is good or bad, but
I think that it has caused many people to make their lives a little unhealthy
and I want to help bring a little joy back into your life.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpkNtlxPW7hgCEfuAdTxkDOQr8tqK0i1bI38pMtszdN7KUWrMNx8oy0ueK0eNCgx4SpULTwVRgZlKWEQcSWMMrza8C8NSK68SvjUYa9ijgPEdHJLDrp1DvLzbVXkroDFy8Cqt8ZNcnrOY0/s1280/19da96b2324199d66ab5526fee04684f.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="853" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpkNtlxPW7hgCEfuAdTxkDOQr8tqK0i1bI38pMtszdN7KUWrMNx8oy0ueK0eNCgx4SpULTwVRgZlKWEQcSWMMrza8C8NSK68SvjUYa9ijgPEdHJLDrp1DvLzbVXkroDFy8Cqt8ZNcnrOY0/s640/19da96b2324199d66ab5526fee04684f.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the first thing to be careful of is not
enjoying the normal things in life. For
me that is candy and having a nice treat at the end of the day. I personally love getting a nice surprise at
the end of a hard workday and now that I am more lonely and trapped then ever
before I find it to be even more important.
I love going to the store normally and finding the perfect snack. Browsing all the <a href="https://texasfredshouse.blogspot.com">candy boxes</a> and seeing what
peaks my interest that day is such a joy to me.
Now everyone has their own preferences on what candy boxes look the best
or taste the best but I want to just make sure you feel that you don't need to
not get your treat!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iiQQO8btgf8" width="320" youtube-src-id="iiQQO8btgf8"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now in order to do this in 2020 you need to be
careful for sure. It is literally
different in almost every county so I suggest following a checklist of things
before just going out like normal and searching for that perfect treat. First I think you should look up your state
regulations pertaining to covid-19. Each
state has different restrictions and they are changing all the time. The last thing you want is to be unsafe and
or breaking the law. I find that the
state's websites in most locations is up to date and has all the general laws
to follow right on the front page. Once
you read through the current regulations its important to then find out where
your store location is that you plan on doing your shopping at.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTU1JAuuaFueiNZ5iYgkTyjCjb07Wd4Uu56B94qGL78UY2t_8PE1Wkj4EVrxCi21RWLB-gmqmp11p4xT-vCXYmX6R_ONSbUUzSGcTwy2gr4eTiVjHj4O066l7yhyQtn8N4DQJVZBfEHG54/s700/candylicious-store-dubai-mall.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="467" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTU1JAuuaFueiNZ5iYgkTyjCjb07Wd4Uu56B94qGL78UY2t_8PE1Wkj4EVrxCi21RWLB-gmqmp11p4xT-vCXYmX6R_ONSbUUzSGcTwy2gr4eTiVjHj4O066l7yhyQtn8N4DQJVZBfEHG54/s640/candylicious-store-dubai-mall.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now go to the country website in which your
grocery store is located. From there you can follow the same path as above for
the state regulations. Once you know the
times of day you can shop, or if you are able to go out for non emergecy
reasons. Then you can find out what
masks or none are needed. There may also
be specialty regulations and from there you can finally get in your vehicle at
the right time and go shopping! As a general rule most places suggest or
regulate standing 6 feet from others and it is also good to plan on extra time
just in case the store has people restrictions.
Some stores are only allowed to have a percentage of normal capacity in
them so you may be waiting a while. Take
that into account. Now the best part is here.
You have your regulations taken care of and now you can go in and look
through all the <a href="https://texasfredshouse.blogspot.com/2020/07/are-you-cooking-with-right-candy.html">lovely candy</a>. Choose the
ones you want and maybe think about stocking up just in case the trip was
harder than normal.</p>Karen Zavalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08050722049384441195noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-526260786000540911.post-6805408922952242222016-09-14T10:56:00.001-07:002023-03-25T11:00:54.116-07:00Why Won’t My Packing Tape Stick? <p><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you’re someone who is trying to tape stuff, only to find that it’s not sticking, you’re not alone. This can be frustrating, and if it doesn’t, there is a risk to the package, whether it’s through theft, and product packaging. Depending on the box type that you have, you might not be able to fully utilize packing tape, and that’s a hassle for you. It can even be a disaster.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-e8e148cc-7fff-e401-2d57-ebdfb6cb2d42"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What can you do? Well, here are a few reasons why you’re unable to get the packaging tape to stick c correctly. </span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Wrong Tape </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Not every single piece of tape is made with the same purpose.

Hand tape is the best type of packing tape, and is applied to different dispensers that are hand held. Machine tape is larger in terms of the roll sizes and is made to be put in automatic and semi-automatic types of dispensers. If you’re not using this correctly, it might not stick the way that you plan to.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A lot of people use different types of tape for the different problems that are at hand. Electrical work, repairs, painting, all of these can use different types of tape, and if you set different reminders, you’ll be able to use the correct tape real fast. </span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s Old </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have old tape, it’s not going to work correctly.

Make sure that it’s protected from the heat, any sunlight, and also make sure that it’s not in a place that’s overly dry. Also, if you do buy a lot, create a system from oldest to newest of the tape and when it’s been used. </span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Be Mindful of Water Activated Tape </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you’re using water activated tape, you’ll find out as well that it’s very effective for adhering the bonds directly to the box itself, offering a tamper resistant method of sealing. But it needs to be wet, or else it’s not going to stick, period. A water activated tape dispenser is the best way to do this, so it gets enough water there. </span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s Going to somewhere Cold. </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, if you’re sending your items to a cold location, your tape probably isn’t going to work for this. colder types of temperatures are not good for adhesives, and also prevent the boxes from closing correctly.

extremely effective at conserving product nutritional value. Individually Quick
Frozen or IQF is a great example of a common method used in food packaging.
This form of <a href="https://texasfredshouse.blogspot.com/2020/07/are-you-cooking-with-right-candy.html" target="_blank">food packaging</a> helps prevent large ice crystal build up within the
product itself. Allowing for the product to have longer shelf life and minimal
nutritional lose.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oE_ZJ4N_sqs" width="320" youtube-src-id="oE_ZJ4N_sqs"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When utilizing this method every piece of product is frozen
individually by very small ice crystals. This is done extremely fast and avoids
damaging the products nutrients. Other methods of freezing are much slower,
producing larger ice crystals in the process which can be a bad thing for the
product.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Slow freezing and large ice crystals will typically result
in dry or damaged food. IQF's tiny crystals however will not because the
process used to freeze every individual product piece is ultra fast. Capable of
blast freezing large amounts in very little time making for a higher quality of
product selection for the consumer.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0M_xPqm2a4eROpt-H1oFEIom5p0BIpkq_ApuDrHl415sBQwkvWVJMTqQ6Tzcm0blYhldihPgeN-IygbNGi6TdiYL6n_Gx5zSR1PGs_Bpb7doP_B1ommMgYv679EpEjVq5wPmEY-j2poCh/s500/freeze-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0M_xPqm2a4eROpt-H1oFEIom5p0BIpkq_ApuDrHl415sBQwkvWVJMTqQ6Tzcm0blYhldihPgeN-IygbNGi6TdiYL6n_Gx5zSR1PGs_Bpb7doP_B1ommMgYv679EpEjVq5wPmEY-j2poCh/s320/freeze-1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other methods like canning or pickling are available for
food packaging as well along with a few others. Freezing however is one of the
more common practices and it can be used for any type of food <a href="https://texasfredshouse.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">productpackaging</a>. Older methods of freeze preservation or packaging in general for
that matter risk the products quality. Possibly altering flavor and/or texture
more so than not.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With IQF you can also assure such things as berries and corn
don't clump up or smush together during preservation. The products interior
cellular structure will not be altered much, if at all penetrated by the ice
crystals. Leaving the food frozen but not in the solid ice kind of a way, only
the outer layer will be affected.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ideally you can use IQF on any type of foods you desire.
Different meats and seafood can benefit from IQF as much as French fries, peas,
etc. Technology has helped improve so much in life and continues to awe us
daily with its amazing capabilities. Food packaging will not be left out of the
mix and offering methods such as IQF proves it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nobody likes unpackaging bad food or the smell it can bring
along with it. Even if it isn't spoiled, we still expect quality for our hard
earned money. Older methods while effective leave to much room for the
possibility of spoilage or loss of nutrition. In other words, you'll be risking
the taste of grandma's famous pie recipe using anything but fresh product.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhadKhCTXeYmR7jBnbpnE_2Ya0HMTN36824FJMtezm-vH5PBv7VQwS0V9TSVT34_pcAOK60tJ0vCNfT7nmW6cGdU_Ic7FtsO0KLoZqfXFMH36tuq4Hs6rImaO5BTUtdqueDT1H7v_U4UP1J/s600/freezingtips-lowres-2x1-1208513220-600x300.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhadKhCTXeYmR7jBnbpnE_2Ya0HMTN36824FJMtezm-vH5PBv7VQwS0V9TSVT34_pcAOK60tJ0vCNfT7nmW6cGdU_Ic7FtsO0KLoZqfXFMH36tuq4Hs6rImaO5BTUtdqueDT1H7v_U4UP1J/w400-h200/freezingtips-lowres-2x1-1208513220-600x300.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Back in her time food was handled with much more love and
attention which in turn resulted in fresher options to pick from. Times are
much faster now, and the population has grown tremendously since that time.
Demand has outweighed supply allowing way for newer much more efficient means
of packaging. And IQF looks to be leading the way when it comes to high quality
and efficient food packaging methods.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The equipment used for the IQF process is specialized and
not widely available as of yet. There are only a handful of manufacturers who
currently deal in IQF machinery and supplies available to assist you. If IQF
packaging is an interest of yours reaching out to a certified professional in
the food packaging industry should definitely be your first step.</p>

Here, we’ll go over some of the benefits of poly mailers, and how they solve a lot of customer issues. </span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-14eb626e-7fff-5506-3cee-3038bef38c72"><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Expectations </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are products that are returned because of expectations. Ecommerce returns see a lot more because well, buyers aren’t able to sample the materials until they’re received by <a href="https://texasfredshouse.blogspot.com/2020/07/are-you-cooking-with-right-candy.html">shipment</a>. Some may have expected that they’re getting something when it’s another thing, and well, that’s something that a lot of people don’t take into account when choosing the right sorts of poly mailers to use. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="341" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w0qm7w_7ukY" width="482" youtube-src-id="w0qm7w_7ukY"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Product Defections </span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This can happen to anything. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">It may be an error in manufacturing or even shipping, and this does happen. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">This can be frustrating for many people since oftentimes it requires the product to be shipped back.

When customers try this on, they can then choose whether or not it’s right for them, and then ship back anything that they don’t want with minimal hassle. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can do this as well with what’s called expandable poly mailers, which are envelopes that contain bottoms that are gusseted so that they can ship back items that are bulkier, including pants and big sweaters. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is a great way to help make the return process either so that customers are fully satisfied with everything that they purchase and return. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is a good way to help the process become better and easier for everyone. This also lets them put it back and lets them seal it without having to get anything wrong. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">These mailers have their own little return seals that they can put on there, and it lets customers actually put them on there whenever they need it. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEil7CsDEhx7XAcQqqkS8OvkTCJLSHQay83rGBKZAnxkX9oiKwzQVi0G3SkPSy_sueYVUX4fNL74lHhm6dm0M3iTVJ1rZ0meSR7sKiwy_C6qkFxHIScIEjdDluRiQfJ9tCuW2yu0KujosVklIT0Ai30atNKyGh7AEk4OaMraBW6qB2fk3kqljJIgSQpGLw=s500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="500" height="327" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEil7CsDEhx7XAcQqqkS8OvkTCJLSHQay83rGBKZAnxkX9oiKwzQVi0G3SkPSy_sueYVUX4fNL74lHhm6dm0M3iTVJ1rZ0meSR7sKiwy_C6qkFxHIScIEjdDluRiQfJ9tCuW2yu0KujosVklIT0Ai30atNKyGh7AEk4OaMraBW6qB2fk3kqljJIgSQpGLw=w425-h327" width="425" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This saves everyone money and time. Instead of having your customers wait to return the packaging, you just let them print the label, put it on the mailer, and then send it back so that you cha have the exchange done fully. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s quite easy to start with, and the results of this are something that’ll be better than ever and something that’ll help you get the most that you can out of your mailing situation. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’ll help as well build customer morale as well since it shows that you not only care about the customers that you’re willing to give them this, but you also care about them and make the return process easy. </span></p><div><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span>Karen Zavalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08050722049384441195noreply@blogger.com0
