The company invented the rigid-handle plastic bag and helped introduce one of the first commercial plastic garbage bags, later building its business around packaging supplied through distributors. Uniflex also operates the Retail Packaging Warehouse, established in 1994 to supply small quantities of stock packaging across the United States and Canada.
