On being thrifty

I use a heat sealing device in my office to seal nylon bags for a dry-heat sterilizer. I wore the last one out after 3 years of heavy use, looked through my supply catalog and decided to order a name-brand sealer instead of the generic brand like I wore out. Surely better, right? At 70% more money yet! New one came in today. Same sealer, different label. Both the catalog company and the manufacturer at a loss explaining. Needless to say, returned and reordered one for the other, on their nickel. They are at least good about that. (Henry Schein in New York).


It pays to be thrifty.
 
Lotta relabeling in the auto parts industry too.


What about a Seal-a-Meal type thing? Gotta be cheaper that anything medical.
 
He'd wear that out in a week! And for it to be IN a medical facility it would need to be "certified" for same, methinks.

Ahh, a racket ya say. Doesn't surprise me...wouldn't surprise me if it ~was~ a repack seal-a-meal too.. :laugh:
 
We seal 30+ packs a day, and not vacuum seal, just airtight, to go through a dry heat sterilizer; also have a steam sterilizer for the drills, etc. Tain't cheap.
