Carolina Industrial Resources supplies a variety of films, bags and laminations to many different markets. Quite often, advances in materials, new product features and packaging methods introduced in one market have very beneficial applications for others.

CIR is vigilant in guarding against the unnecessary expense and environmental impact of over-packaging and constantly searches for the most appropriate and efficient use of materials with cost savings of 30% or more.
