XP Formula is stiffer and stronger
than conventional films and it's oriented and prestretched. Prestretched
films give greater load holding force and reduces load shifting
during transit.
XP prestretched film allows users to wrap pallets
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.
Prestretched film gives superior load holding for
less.
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%.

Wal-Mart goes green
BIG TIME
In a move that could have a ripple effect
on the packaging industry, the retail giant plans to
reduce shipping container and product wrapping costs
by 5% by 2013. That could save $14 billion, and spur
packaging changes elsewhere. Wal-Mart Stores, the world’s
largest retailer, wants its 60,000 suppliers to find
more efficient packaging methods and to reduce the amount
of packaging used, starting in 2008, while making the
remaining wrapping and shipping materials environmentally
friendlier. The company’s packaging move comes more
than two years after consumer packaged goods companies
began to feel pressure from higher raw materials costs,
particularly for the plastic many of them use for their
packaging.
What it means to buyers
Wal-Mart purchasing is working with suppliers to change
packaging systems to reduce use of plastic films and
paper.
Shipping container, wrapping and baling and bundling
plastics will be targeted for expanded recycling.
