‍

Q: How do our most common advertiser's categories map to the tours?

A: 80% of our most common advertiser categories map to a tour (listed on the "How it Works" tab).

We are considering adding Palletizing/Depalletizing & Stretch Wrapping as a category—if you have an interested advertiser applicable to the category, please reach out to Cam Franko.

The following categories have a very small number of advertisers and thus we do not have a tour for them at this time:

Blisters/Clamshells/Skin Packaging
Shrink Wrapping (single item)
Flow Wrapping
Strapping
Thermoform/Fill/Seal
