PAPER OR PLASTIC?
HOWARD LEIGHT INTRODUCES PAPER BAG PACKAGING
San Diego (September 9, 1998) -- Now there is a choice: paper or plastic. Howard Leight introduces paper bag packaging, available with MULTIMAX and corded MAX-LITE earplugs.
Plastic packaging offers convenience with a lower cost, while paper bags are highly visible and won't melt to hot machinery. Both are recyclable. Plastic is available in all products, paper only in MULTIMAX and MAX-LITE.
So, whether you prefer paper or plastic, now you have the choice.
NRR 31
Howard Leight has changed the shape of hearing protection. Again.
Howard Leight Industries, innovative leader of the hearing protection industry, introduces the new MultiMax, multi-sized foam earplug. Dual-sized design for proper sizing, the MultiMax fits virtually any ear canal by simply inserting the end that provides the proper fit.
MULTIMAX Features: Benefits: Dual-sized for custom fit No need to stock multiple sizes Yellow and orange color programs Easy to see compliance with safety Natural crown shape with slight taper canals Easier insertion for smaller ear Smooth outer skin Reduces absorption of contaminants NRR 31 Very high attenuation performance Purchasing and stocking are now simpler since MultiMax eliminates the need to buy several products for different sized ear canals. One plug does it all. The MultiMax, made with Howard Leight's famous soft foam is designed with dual-ends. The yellow end is for smaller ear canals, the coral end for medium and large size ear canals. MultiMax fits them all.
With the high performance NRR 31, MultiMax provides more than adequate hearing protection for most noisy work environments.
