I like the envelope fold
I hate wrapping!
When wrapping the item, can using tape on the inside cause any type of sterility issue?
Wrap some bowls or basins!! Thanks
When doing the envelope fold, is it required to tuck the piece under or can you just fold and tape?

Hello .in this field .is weight..r heavy. Lift..included...please answer
I became certified/licensed in Nov 2019. The issue I face since then is everyone requires experience. How do I get experience if no one will hire me because they require experience??
Currently working in a hospital in food services, I'm grateful. I am studying to become certified in CS or sterile processing. It's rewarding studying & learning so many things about microorganisms ect. I hope it works out for me. Yes I see this as my next best thing
