"You will never find another flower product that offers great benefits... At a lower price... And is so valuable to wholesalers, retailers, growers and consumers... Arrive Alive is life insurance for all flowers! It's simply one of my favorite flower necessities!"

We LOVE the Arrive Alive flower diapers. They are so much more convenient and faster than putting a whole bunch of water tubes on flowers, not to mention less expensive! Also, they keep everything hydrated, including greens and fillers which usually are not water tubed. The other benefit they have is the Arrive Alive binds all the stems together and makes the sleeve easier to put on the flowers.

Any florist out there who is on the fence about this product, I'd like to tell you to get it - don't wait, just get it. I've been using it here in the hottest part of the country (Arizona) with amazing results. I have one customer who stops into my shop to buy roses and drives them all the way to Orange County, California wrapped in Arrive Alive and they are perfect on arrival. Now that's hydration!

Transporter10 is the best. The foam inserts make it so vases and arrangements stay in place as deliveries are made. We were tired of ruining our florist knives cutting out holes in cardboard flower boxes! Transporter10 makes this a thing of the past! I even use Transporter10 when I go grocery shopping! Got my watermelon home in perfect condition. Thanks guys!

To the 'CREATOR' of the 'Transporter':

I have three floral businesses (1 wholesale and two retail locations) and have been in business for 15 years. Of all the floral systems designed for the transporation of vases, your product beats all others, HANDS DOWN! It may seem somewhat costly to some, but it is a dream to deliver in. Our retail locations are on the prestigious island of Palm Beach in Florida. We deal everyday with the rich and famous with precious collectibles from all over the world. Our clients are sometimes skeptical or hesitant for us to remove their containers, until they see how their precious pieces are protected with your foam transporters. Then, there's NO PROBLEM!! Thanks for making our life easier. Need a single vase transporter for those single arrangements that our staff delivers on their way home!!!

Thankful,

Beverly Bottosto, President

I have been writing to grocery stores such as Safeway, Albertson's, Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Giant about your wonderfull product called Arrive Alive Packaging it is about time someone helped with the quality of flowers and here is the letter being sent out.

To Whom It May Concern,
I recently purchased a bouquet from your store and noticed that the clerk just handed the bouquet wrapped it in tissue paper. On a recent visit out west I purchased a bouquet from Hy-Vee store and they wrapped the bouquet in foam to hydrate the flowers I had purchased. I thought what a spectacular idea.

After talking with some friends, whom I had given the flowers to, about the hydration. They said "we do not buy our flowers anywhere else because of the quality and performance of their flowers. It does not matter how long it takes for you to get home the flowers are always fresh and last longer than those we have purchased anywhere else."

I went back to the store before leaving to inquire what type of product they were using to hydrate the flowers and they mentioned Arrive Alive Packaging. After doing some research I found the product on U-Tube and a website www.machortsupplies.com. As a suggestion I would like to have our flowers wraped in this product when we purchase the next time.

Hello, Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cheryl Loos; I have owned Karl's Flowers & Gifts for the last 24 years. I have worked in the floral industry for 30 years. I live in a small rural community in south Texas. The reason for my letter to you is about a product that I found in a floral trade magazine. The product name is Arrive Alive. The ad was eye catching, so I called the company Mac Technologies for more information and to order the product. You may have heard of this company or you may already use some of their products. They make the Transporter 10 Delivery System.

You can now order the Arrive Alive packaging system from The John Henry Co.I can not express enough the wonderful results that I have gotten using the Arrive Alive packaging. The time, labor and expense of water tubing wrapped floral bouquets has been replaced with this product. We use this product for all of our presentation arm bouquets. Our customers have commented about how well the packaging works and that the flowers seem to last longer. With the bridal styles of hand tied bouquets we can use the Arrive Alive to keep the bouquets hydrated in our coolers and during delivery.

I truly believe that this is the best product introduced to the floral industry since floral foam. The ease of use and results of Arrive Alive are comparable to the replacement of the old fashion floral design method of chicken wire and shredded Styrofoam. If you can remember those days and how things have changed then you need to try this product. Say good bye to those leaky, messy water tubes and discover how great Arrive Alive is and how it can help your business. Im not a salesman or paid representative for this company. I am simply a fellow business person who wants to continue to better the floral industry with knowledge of a great product.I have included an ad and instructions for you.Sincerely, Cheryl Loos

I do not mean to sound like a commercial, but I love your product!!!! I have been a fan of the delivery cubes since I met you at VPFA years ago. But now, the new wet wraps are raging!

I have been excited about the Arrive Alive Packaging sheets since September when I was able to discuss them at SAF's Premier Product Showcase. Since that time, we have utilized them on a daily basis as we get a great deal of walk-in from the university.

Valentine's proved the efficiency as well as the value of the product. In year's past, we have had backed up lines at the counter as the majority of our walk-ins get wrapped product for their "sweeties." We always take this opportunity to up-sell the product and to sell water tubes for their roses so they stay fresh - this year, we were ahead of the game: we had our dozen rose bouquets already wrapped in Arrive Alive Packaging. The customer could pull a bundle of roses, drop them in the green sleeve and we could have them wrapped, registered and out the door within minutes.

In addition, those customers getting assorted wrapped bouquets were assisted just as quickly because of the ease of the wrap versus multiple tubes per bouquet.

My experience with the Arrive Alive product has been very positive. I find that flower bouquets using this system keep longer than those using tubes and are easier to assemble. It makes assembling a mixed presentation bouquet quick, easy, and efficient.

Also, this system accommodates the larger-stemmed blooms, such as callas and sunflowers, which cannot be put in water tubes. Customers very quickly become aware of the benefits of Arrive Alive, and willingly pay the fee for this convenience.

Thank you for offering a great product that has greatly improved not only our flower shop's customer service but our fresh flower quality as well. Arrive Alive Packaging is an amazing innovation for wrapped presentation bouquets.

Our shop is located in a busy, progressive and ecologically minded college town and we do lots of presentation bouquets for formals, banquets, theatre, and recitals of all kinds. Often, people will return the water tubes for us to reuse. We are pleased to take them back and appreciate the effort to cut down on waste but it also adds labor for us to sanitize them. The Arrive Alive eliminates this problem and we are happy to inform our customers that the foam is compostable! Our clientele really feel good about this point. In addition, we spend less time filling water tubes (a chore no one enjoys!) and more time on other projects.

While Arrive Alive will not completely replace water tubes, the foam system is much better in many situations such as;

- - Bouquets with more than 10 stems - it is less bulky, doesn't leak and is more cost effective - - Large stemmed flowers such as Callas, Birds of Paradise and Sunflowers that don't fit into water tubes - - Making bouquets ahead of time during busy seasons. The stems can be left in a vase of water and put into the cooler to be wrapped up when the customer arrives. - - If the recipient of a delivery is not home, we can stand the bouquet in the cooler overnight for next day redelivery - - Wedding work is so much easier to wrap for delivery and there is less chance of wetting the ribbon. - - Lastly, and my favorite, is that I don't get sprayed in the face with water from inserting the stem into the water tubes while the customer stands there and laughs!

Thank you again for an incredible product and for the speedy processing of our orders. We usually receive the delivery of Arrive Alive in 2-3 days of placing an order.
