95% Waste Reduction with 3M Stretchable Tape

Flow Through Ventilation Protects Perishable Products

• Total air flow prolongs the shelf life of fruit and vegetable products.
• Avoids damage to packaging caused by "sweating" inside plastic film wrap.
• Saves days of production time for products that require cooling eg. dairy foods and sauces.
• Removal of tape is simple and waste is negligible.

Applications

• General packaging.
• Produce - including apples, pears, bananas, avocadoes, mangoes, apricots, berries, eggs, vegetables.
• Dairy foods where product is chilled. Stretch tape allows rapid cooling unlike stretch film.
• Bottling and canning operations where product can "sweat" when wrapped hot in stretch film
• For waste conscious industries - 95% reduction in plastic waste.
• Ideal for automated pallet handling systems where stretch film "dags' create pallet rejection problems.

Limitations

• Lightweight product is difficult to wrap but can be accommodated if all circumstances are known.
• Forklift access is necessary with all but the lowest profile wrappers. Any wrapper in excess of 30mm height is not ideally suited to hand pallet truck access.

Best Buying

• Stretch wrapper purchase involves understanding exactly what your requirements are with respect to no. of pallets wrapped per day, the rate of wrapping required, the nature of the goods to be wrapped, the film used, the way the product will be loaded into the wrapper and the conditions under which the wrapper must operate.
• The kind of wrapper selected will vary according to all of these requirements as will the cost savings and wrap quality.
