How to Ship Bulk Coin With Peace of Mind

February 18, 2014

Tough plastic deposit and transfer bags withstand transit handling

How do you transport 50 pounds of quarters? Or dimes? Or nickels?

With a very strong, see-through, tamper-resistant plastic money deposit bag. But not just any bag will do. The movement of coin from one location to another is such an important undertaking that it has spawned the need for special products. CONTROLTEK’s CoinLOK® tamper evident coin bags are among them.

These bags were developed to meet strict standards, including the elimination of breakage. The weight of loose coins can add up. Bags can hold 25 pounds or 50 pounds and are intended for one-time use. Custom sizes and imprints also are available. The bags also feature reinforced, die-cut triple-ply handles molded into their construction for easier and safer bulk transport.

Anyone who has tried to lift a 50-pound bag of potting soil, mortar cement or rock salt will appreciate the option of a 50 pound coin bag having two handles, top and bottom, so that two people can assist each other during transport.

The CoinLOK® bags get loaded with loose coin, and then processed and sorted. Barcodes are positioned on the bags as easy targets for handheld scanners, and numbering on bag labels is large enough to be read by security cameras for an audit trail. These bags also have dual write-on receipts, as well as a write-on bag-shipment information panel.

Major armored couriers prefer the CoinLOK®  brand of deposit bags and endorse them.
