Nathaniel Layhee
191 Buffalo Street
San Diego, CA 91031
Dear Mr. Layhee:
Thank you for your interest in Brussel’s food packaging technology. As we discussed in our telephone
conversation, Certain seal is well suited to the needs of a mid-to-large scale food processing company. It is designed
to handle large volumes and can be customized for almost any size or shape of food product.
Certain seal also lengthens the shelf life of your products. As you know, one of the biggest causes of food
spoilage is excess air left in vacuum-sealed packages. Our system is especially effective in eliminating this threat. In the
September issue of Industrial World magazine, comparison testing indicated that Certain Seal removed excess air more
efficiently than similar vacuum packaging systems (such as the Sigillare 100 produced by TVT industries).
Food quality is ensured further by the packaging material itself. For the Certain Sealed system, we use an
especially durable plastic that protects foods throughout the freezing, shipping, and reheating processes.
This is just an overview of some of the benefits of our technology. I will go into greater detail in my October
28 presentation at your office. In order to tailor the presentation to your needs, I would like to know more about Home
Country’s production requirements. Please contact me at our main offices in Bangkok at (02) 3536-333 between 9:00
AM and 6:00 PM
Sincerely,
Julian Chen
