industry. The goal is that every roll will be perfect.

New Technology stretch films available from NPS include: Infinity PX hand wrap and machine film; Stratos
machine film; and Winwrap pre-stretch hand wrap. These films are much thinner than the films they
replace but offer greater containment and load performance than conventional thicker films. And
remember that 5% saved on cost is worth 30% of new sales. With New Techology films from NPS, your
savings may well be in the 20 - 40 % range.

And most important of all, your stretch film supplier, hopefully NPS, should follow these principles to help
you realize and maintain the benefits of lean stretch film:

l Solve your problems by making sure your stretch film gives the performance it should first time, every
time.
l Don't waste your time with films that don't perform up to expectations.
l Provide exactly what you want and need in your operation. Have the latest technology films available.
l Provide the most value where it is needed and at the lowest cost.
l Provide the right film when you want it. Have it in stock and ready to ship.
l Take the work out of your stretch film process. Make it easy to order by email, fax, or phone; and
know that the right film will be available for shipment to arrive when you require it.

Lean Stretch Film starts in R & D, through the formulation and manufacturing process, ease of ordering and
delivery; to on site performance in order to deliver sustainable cost savings with long term benefits.

Footnote: Your competition is already using Lean Stretch Film. Can you afford to keep
wrapping your pallets the old fashioned way?
