Pack Cost Savings

Material only: 31.7%
Shrink Wt: 7.8g
Trak-Rap Wt: 2.5g

Annual Savings
Assumptions: All figures based on 27 case of .25 litre fruit juice carton, 2 shifts 25ppm.

Energy Saving: £8,795 p.a
Material saving: £17,411 p.a
Scrap disposal: £2,595 p.a
Total saving: £28,801 p.a

Additional savings:

  • Potential for increase in shelf life – very significant but not quantifiable
  • Improved efficiency as changeovers between products do not require significant
  • Changeparts (uses same film configuration, irrespective of pack size)
  • Added productivity as there is no start up and shut down of oven
  • No oven so reduced maintenance costs
  • Reduced floor space for Trak Rap system
  • Increased efficiency from simplified infeed transport system as the packs are wrapped in a different direction to shrink systems (bulls eyes front & back on TrakRap)
