Case Study 3

Pack Cost Savings

Material only: 42.3%
Shrink Wt: 21g
Trak-Rap Wt: 5.7g

Annual Savings
Assumptions: All figures based on 4 pack multipack , 2 shifts 15ppm.

Energy Saving: £n/a
Material saving: £37,412 p.a
Scrap disposal: £10,674 p.a
Total saving: £48,086 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)
