PKGP's Subsidiary, APAC, Forms Strategic Alliance
with Kodak
PLAINVIEW, N.Y., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Packaging Plus Services, Inc. (OTC Bulletin
Board: PKGP - news) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, The Association of
Packagers and Carriers, Inc. (APAC) has formed a strategic alliance with Kodak to make
available the KODAK Image Magic Picture Maker to APAC member stores nationwide.
''The new partnership will expand and complement the many services already provided to
APAC members nationally,'' said Nick DeLeone, APAC President. All APAC member
locations will be able to offer customers the innovative KODAK Picture Maker, which can
instantly reproduce and enlarge photographs, create customized photo gifts and produce
high-resolution digital files of their favorite images.
''Later this year and in 1999, down stream technology will enable APAC members with a
KODAK Power Station accessory to send pictures over the Internet,'' DeLeone said. ''A
customer in Pittsburgh, for example, can drop off a photo, it can be scanned and digitized and
then picked up by a relative or business associate in Los Angeles.''
Featuring the new Kodak system in APAC retail stores is just one of the many state-of-the-art,
innovative services APAC offers its members, DeLeone noted. ''Our philosophy of developing
value-added services for independent postal/business service center operators focuses on the
development of strategic partnerships and programs to help streamline operations and increase
revenues for individual store members,'' said Richard Altomare, PKGP
Chairman.
