Registration Statement Form S1/ Pre-Effective Amendment One

File No.: 333-158584


Dear Mr. Reynolds:


Enclosed is Pre-Effective Amendment One to the above Registration Statement. The changes are made in response to staff comments on the initial filing of the Registration Statement and we have added unaudited interim financial statements for 9 months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The paragraph numbers below correspond to the numbered comments in your comment letter dated May 11, 2009.


General


1.

We have added disclosure within the BUSINESS section of the Registration Statement that says that “We are a member of Preferred Packaging Associates (“PPA”) which is a coalition of independently owned businesses in the packaging industry. PPA members share the cost of a website and refer business leads to each other. There are no formal agreements involved in our membership in PPA.”


Calculation of Registration Fee


2.

The suggested change has been made.


Prospectus Cover Page


3.

The suggested disclosure has been made.


Risk Factors


4.

We have added a new Risk Factor #10 covering the anticipated costs of the offering being greater than the maximum proceeds of the offering. We have added a new Risk Factor #11 covering the fact that the anticipated costs of the offering will reduce shareholders’ equity by more than the increase from the sale of shares in the offering.


5.

We have added new Risk Factor #4 covering our going concern risks associated with the costs of being a public company.


Use of Proceeds


6.

The requested disclosure has been made.


7.

All calculations have been redone using historical book values at September 30, 2009 and attached as an Exhibit to this letter.

The description about revenue was expanded to indicate that the majority of the increase was a function of market conditions rather than anything done by the Company.

16.

The requested additional disclosures have been made.
