　New Tiger Tacos Makes “Fighting the Flaps”a Thing of the Past!

MESA, AZ, December 11, 2007 – Anyone who has ever packed a cardboard box understands the challenges of getting the box flaps out of the way and under control. Annoying box flaps are best kept folded flat until needed, but that has been easier said than done. That is, until now! Tiger Tacos are taco shell-shaped plastic (or metal) flap holders that you slide down over the flap, holding it firmly to the side of the box and out of way. Tiger Tacos is the cool tool that tames floppy flaps . (Pics available at www.tigertaco.com)

Tiger Tacos Make Packing and Un-Packing Safe, Fast and Easy.

Are you getting ready to pack presents for the holidays? One of the more irritating things about packing presents is keeping the flaps of the shipping boxes open. You often pack with one hand and try to keep the flaps out of the way with the other. Tiger Tacos are THE solution to this problem. Instead of wrestling with the flaps, you just fold the flap outward and slide a Tiger Taco over the fold. Smart. Tiger Tacos come in two versions, steel and plastic. Four orange plastic Tiger Tacos are $4.95 and the heavy duty steel version is $18.95 for a package for four.

Fun Facts: Each Year in the USA….

25 billion boxes are used
6.5 billion packages are shipped
42 million Americans move
95% of all products are boxed at some point

The Tiger Taco is the single most innovative packaging tool since the invention of the carton box.

Every warehouse and catalog company in America should have Tiger Tacos on hand. Tiger Tacos pay for themselves almost instantly because packers can now use both hands to pack all boxes. Efficiency and safety are enhanced with Tiger Tacos and production will increase immediately.

About Tiger Tacos

Tiger Tacos is an innovative small business founded by two friends and neighbors, George Pauli and Chris Miller. Chris Miller, Co-founder, fills us in; “George owns an embroidery company and years ago he folded over some scrap steel to slide over the edge of boxes to keep the flaps down. He didn’t think anything special about it; he was just solving the problem he had with unpacking and packing boxes full of shirts. A few years later he started calling them “Tiger Tacos” because he was calling everything TIGER as a spoof on “total integration generates extraordinary results.”

It wasn’t until about a year ago, after we had been working on several inventions in our spare time, that George asked me to hand him a Tiger Taco which I didn’t think looked anything like what he was asking for. I immediately saw the Tiger Taco’s usefulness and I started Thinking that everyone who uses cardboard boxes should have one of these. We decided to partner on the venture and release Tiger Tacos on the world!”
