Chep, provider of pallet and container pooling solutions, announced the launch of Chep Stretch, a new service that allows customers to use a market-leading, semi-automatic stretch wrap machine on a simple cost-per-wrap contract basis.
The Chep Stretch service works in a similar way to a photocopier lease. Chep provides a stretch wrapping machine, the stretch film, and equipment maintenance. Customers simply add their product and the pallet, and wraps. So, rather than buying their own stretch wrap machines which require significant investment, or leasing a machine on a hire purchase basis, Chep Stretch delivers a much more flexible solution.
Chep developed the innovative pay-as-you-wrap service in response to customer feedback and specifically designed the service to protect customers from unexpected risk, cost and hassle associated with traditional hand-wrapping, which can be inefficient and does not always provide adequate protection for loads in transit.
