Packaging of the razors is done at Gillette's Blade & Razor North American Packaging Center in Devens, MA, a facility operated by Sonoco Packaging Services. Equipment is a horizontal flow wrapper from Sig Doboy (New Richmond, WI). This machine encases the razors in a pillow pack made from a gravure-printed film that is believed to be a low-density polyethylene/ polyester lamination supplied by Sonoco (Hartsville, SC).
