"Many of our customers struggle with the huge amount of waste caused by shrink wrap or stretch films, as well as the costs involved with single use solutions. The LOGISTRAP™ is designed for our customers to meet their business targets whether decreasing costs, reducing environmental impact, improving health and safety or overall efficiencies," commented Chris Lerra, Business Development Manager at Velcro USA Inc. Compared to shrink wrap per pallet annually, VELCRO® Brand LOGISTRAP™ offers a cost savings of 57% and a waste reduction of 100% (based on a pool of 10,000 pallets, moved 10 times per year, over a span of three years).
