Advancement in technology and dispensing of stretch film have help lead to increased productivity within plant operations. Specifically with our Extreme stretch wrap line which is the next generation in cast film extrusion technology. The Extreme Bundling Wrap delivers superior puncture resistance, high pre-stretch levels and exceptional load retention. These properties make the Extreme Bundling Wrap the perfect choice for replacing standard 60 ga-70ga-80ga-90ga-120ga-150ga stretch films with a significant cost savings. Stretch Associates decided that introduction in the marketplace of the Quikwrap bundling film was due in part to demand from some of our distributors and other end-users for a need to have a film that not only used quality materials for the stretch film but needed a more ergonomically friendly dispensing application. Several different industries have an application for this type high performance bundling film used for palletizing, wrapping, bundling of boxes, furniture and carpeting. Some of these Industries include distribution, moving and storage, transportation and boxed products. Our new Quikwrap films ultimately will allow our customers to improve packaging efficiencies and save money by reducing waste and dispensing the proper amount of film for packaging operations. During the Pack Expo coming up in Chicago, IL October 31st - November 3rd, Stretch Associates will be available at booth #4264 to discuss the Quikwrap product with distributors and other end-users. Additional information can obtain about the new Quikwrap product line at the upcoming trade show in Chicago, IL or on the web.
