Stretch Wrap: The Rubber Band Replacement

Today it appears that the familiar hooks of reuseable rubber bands that once hung inside every professional mover's truck or trailer have been replaced by cases of high-priced new stretch wrap rolls and heavy duty – and equally expensive – packing tape.

Every time the ol' bedbugger in me sees a piece of furniture poorly wrapped in $200-a-dozen moving pads or skins and then secured with yards and yards of expensive packing tape and/or rolls of pricey plastic stretch wrap, I wonder how much this type of inefficient use of packing material resources and/or inexperienced, untrained labor is costing the industry's independent small business owners, new customers or accounts, and repeat corporate clients.

An even bigger concern for responsible business owners and industry executives is the financial impact this type of reckless behavior is having on the employees and families of those managing the business they rely on for their mutual welfare and prosperity.

Any idea how many car payments, grocery bills or hours of additional labor could be purchased each year by the thousands of struggling small business owners which the full-service moving industry is training to support this type of excessive waste?

What happened to working smarter toward a greener environment?

 

ME.I simply warn everybody....ANY tape hits my pads......They will be tripping over their guts when I open them up like a DEER....Those thing are mine,re-usable and the tape tears my pads up....LEARN to use bands.......
