They wanted to see if they could find a way to get the most out of their stretch wrap. They needed to save money and cut down on the film. In addition, the distribution company did not know the most efficient way to use their stretch wrap equipment. They contacted IPS Packaging to see what kind of help they could offer. IPS Packaging looked at providing a solution that would fit the company’s application while impacting their bottom line.

The problems the furniture distribution company was facing were:

• Spending too much on wrong stretch film
• Lack of training on equipment

After speaking to an IPS Packaging specialist, the distribution company was confident that IPS had a solution to their dilemma. IPS lowered their film consumption through down gauging the film and increased yield per roll with improved pre-stretch on the equipment.

Prestretched film is film that is stretched before wrapping products. Prestretch film reduces the amount of film used, as well as requires less revolutions to wrap, saving both material cost and time. By switching the stretch film being used, the furniture distribution company was able to save considerable time and energy. They also appreciated the time IPS Packaging took to explain their situation and how they could better their packaging operation.
