Precept principals explained the objective of their investment and strategic relationship with RNS as focused on assisting RNS to scale FunPak distribution geographically and in helping them reach and serve new niche markets with and improved Internet presence and targeted online marketing.

    RNS founder and CEO, Rich Daniels said, "We're excited to continue expanding our company with Precept's Internet expertise, technology and resources. To date FunPak Premium Packaging has protected more than 50,000 packages in our biodegradable packing material in just the first six months of production; with Precept's investment and support, we see huge growth potential for FunPak "dog bones" as the preferred, ecologically sound, cost effective alternative to Styrofoam packing peanuts and plastic air pouches.
