The 'innovation
imperative'
The Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute,
recently placed even greater emphasis on
the importance of innovation with a series
of conference agendas, including one specifically
called "The Innovation Imperative." The
globalization , fast pace and competition
for consumers' purchases in today's marketplace
simply demands innovation. Quality, price,
delivery - all the other attributes need
to be there as well. But without innovation
it's no longer possible to build or hold
onto market share. That's a scary thought,
unless you are an innovator working with
innovation partners.

Formula is stiffer and stronger than conventional films and it's
already prestretched. Prestretched films give greater load holding
force and reduces load shifting during transit.
This dispenser has a unique tensioning method which
allows users to wrap pallets with one hand while safely walking
face forward around the pallet.
Lighter weight rolls are easier to use and cost
less without a loss in performance. This unique film is working
and strong right off the roll. XP Formulation
eliminates the need to stretch film to get maximum performance with.
Prestretched film combined with this dispenser make
for superior load holding.

Wal-Mart
chief pledges higher prices for sustainable
suppliers
The chief executive of the world's biggest retailer
yesterday promised to favour suppliers providing
high quality and ethically sourced products.
Wal-Mart will launch a major retail-industry
effort to improve social, ethical and environmental
standards in the factories of its suppliers,
CEO and president Lee Scott told a meeting of
store managers.
"The drive will see the retailer favour - and
in some cases even pay more - for suppliers
that meet our standards and share our commitment
to quality and sustainability".
"Paying more in the short term for quality will
mean paying less in the long term as a company.
Higher quality products will mean better value,
fewer problems, fewer returns and greater trust
with our customers," Scott told the audience.
But the firm will also raise the bar for suppliers
on sustainable sourcing, putting pressure on
them to provide evidence that they are meeting
ethical and quality criteria.

Wrap pallet loads easier and more effectively
with Pre-Stretched hand held pallet film. Because of a unique,
manufacturing process, you need not stretch the film to
get an effective, load-holding, wrap. Operators will appreciate
the ease with which Pre-Stretched film can be applied.
 Most
hand held stretch films need to be stretched at least 100
to 150 percent to make the film stiff enough to effectively
hold a shifting load. Operators rarely stretch film even
50% while wrapping. After a nationwide evaluation of hand
wrapping in real-life situations, it was found that the
average person will stretch hand wrap less than 15% .
Now you can eliminate the difficulty and
inefficiency of hand wrapping with Pre-Stretched hand held
pallet film. Pre-Stretched film is strong right off the
roll!! It does not require further stretching to unitize
loads effectively and makes wrapping by hand much easier!
