Stretchwrap that stands apart

Today’s palletised distribution and storage operations deal in greater volumes and work at faster speeds than ever before. Barcoding and other digitalised systems play an invaluable role in tracking items as they move through these fast paced supply chains but sometimes a more obvious and immediate solution is required. That’s why bpi.films created Wrapsmartblack.

Employing this black handwrap allows particular pallets such as those containing a specific product line, of an urgent nature or destined for a given location to be instantly recognisable. Its black tint also helps to disguise a pallet’s contents and makes loads tamper evident.

In addition, as Wrapsmartblack employs the same downgauging technology as Wrapsmartultra, it is able to provide the same innovative benefits:

A reduced gauge. A reduced environmental impact

Wrapsmartblack allows you to minimise the environmental impact of your pallet stretchwrapping activities. Its ability to provide the same levels of strength, protection and performance as a 14 micron (mμ) film but from a film gauge that’s just 9mμ means less packaging by weight is needed to wrap a pallet. This in turn creates less packaging waste once that pallet is unwrapped. Plus, this reduced waste can even be reprocessed rather than sent to landfill as all of the films within the Wrapsmart range are 100% recyclable.

And the green benefits don’t end there. Further reductions in waste stream contributions result from the fact that Wrapsmartblack comes packaged in recyclable stretchfilm rather than the more usual and bulkier cartons. Its thinner gauge also allows more film to be accommodated on a standard reel compared to a conventional handfilm. This extra film length per reel reduces the number of film deliveries required as well as attributable vehicle emissions.

Delivering operational benefits

Aside from its environmental advantages, Wrapsmartblack also delivers gains in operational efficiency. Thanks to its downgauged profile and the fact that more film can be accommodated on a standard reel, each and every reel goes further. Not only does this reduce delivery requirements, it also reduces associated administrative demands such as those entailed in ordering film, processing related invoices and dealing with film deliveries at goods inward.

In addition, more film per reel means your operatives are able to wrap more pallets with fewer stoppages for reel changes, maximising both their time and their output.

Uncompromising performance

If you think Wrapsmartblack’s downgauged profile comes at the expense of its functional performance, think again. It remains a truly fit for purpose product and offers all the trademark qualities people have come to associate with a bpi.films stretchwrapping solution.

This includes a good grip and an unwind that’s both easy and low noise. It’s even pre-stretched making it easier to apply and reducing the risk of strain related injuries amongst personnel.
