Expensive Conventional Stretch Film

"We don't know what we would have done without europa industries diversified approached to packaging solutions..."

An existing customer was concerned about the amount of stretch film he was purchasing so after a site visit we witnessed unused part rolls scattered about the warehouse which had been discarded due to damaged roll ends etc.

We suggested an experiment where we put a big waste bin on site so that any rolls the operatives were going to discard could be put in the bin. The first month's findings you can see in picture A.

Of the many discarded rolls of conventional stretch film, the majority thrown away was due to damaged roll ends.

The second month we conducted the same experiment using Mimalite. The results left our customers amazed. All that was left in the bin was the cardboard cores meaning that the operatives were utilising each reel to its maximum.As seen in picture B.

The end result was that the true cost of the conventional stretch film proved to be far more expensive than the actual price paid, due to the additional cost created by the high volume of waste.

Our customer has since found that by purchasing our Mimalite product rather that conventional stretch film he is ordering less rolls than before.
