Stretch wrap for Tennessee
Two very different buyers share the state. Auto parts plants round Smyrna, Spring Hill and the Chattanooga area wrap metal and plastic components that are hard on film and often bound for an assembly line on a schedule; the Memphis distribution centres wrap thousands of square retail cartons a day on turntable wrappers. The first wants toughness and corner protection, the second wants yield: as much pallet per pound of film as the containment force allows.
