Why Coreless?
Advantages of development
The main advantages of the HollowrapTM innovation to the end user can be summarized as:
- Reduced weight of the product when hand wrapping
- Reduced weight and volume of the product for shipping
- Reduced environmental costs due to removal of cores
- Reduced storage space due to smaller product and packaging
- No loss of performance
- Reduced storage costs, no need to store cores
- Reduce transport costs.
- Standard rolls can be used in many formats.
The Hollowrap™ roll itself will not immediately displace existing technologies, but rather complement them. It is however hoped that the HollowrapTM rolls will replace the current consumable products already in the market place. This in itself should be a good thing as HollowrapTM has significant environmental advantages in not using cardboard or plastic cores and so removing the costs and environmental problems of waste disposal
HolloWrap’s managing director David Greig, and his staff, believes the new Hollowrap™ process – which cuts out the need for a cardboard core in the centre of every roll of film – will be a major success and will soon become commonplace. It is also expected to extend in to other areas of converting as the technology progresses.
