Alliance offers new innovations in packaging and mailing products

Office World News, Nov 1999

HOT SPRINGS, ARAlliance remains one of the oldest familyowned firms serving the office products industry. Founded by William H. Spencer in Alliance, OH in 1923, Alliance has grown to be the world's largest manufacturer of rubber bands and offers an extensive line of mailing and shipping products, DecoMailers, and Brites stationery products. It currently serves customers in over thirty countries, and attributes its exemplary quality to the superior American craftsmanship of its 225 associates. Alliance has been the recipient of the coveted "Arkansas Business of the Year" award and the "Arkansas Quality Award."

Alliance's new Deco-Mailer line provides the fast, easy, and fun way to send your package ... or simply present your gift! "Our hot new colors and designs for holiday and other gifting events provide the handiest giftwrap solutions ever," said Bonnie Swayze, vice president of marketing. "They're also great to capture the attention of those hard-to-reach buyers for sales presentations."

Its NatureWise mailing and shipping line is everything you need to mail or ship a package. Alliance Ad Bands are stylized with fashionable color and your logo or message. Spin them as fun wristbands, diskette bands, book bands, or for thousands of uses for office, home school, or workplace. Banana Republic and Old Navy recently used them for in-store premiums and Nike gave them away at WNBA games.
