Stretch O Max™ can be better than stretch wrap 1) Less wrapping material: A single stretch hood bag replaces a combination of stretch wrap + strapping + pallet cover. 2) Full automation: Save labor and process supervision. 3) Better branding: Print your logo and company name on all sides rather than on top and 2 sides. 4) Save on warehousing costs with outdoor storage: Stretch hood is more weather resistant. 5) New Stretch O Max TM film of Balcan/First Film has excellent load retention, puncture and stretch-ability. 2010 2

Stretch O Max™ Process Step 1: Gathering of the right length film over the 4 horns Step 2: Film sealing for a hood or film cutting for a sleeve Step 3: Stretching up to 90% to fit over the load Step 4: Film pulled down by the horns and released Step 5: Last part of the film is released under the load Overall process: 20 – 60 seconds depending on machine 2010 3

Stretch O Max TM applications  Pallets of Shipping Sacks  Peat Moss, Aggregates, Chemicals, Fuel Pellets.  Pallets of Boxes  Laminate flooring, Tissue, Battery Casing, Roofing shingles.  Pallets of Brick and Pavers.  Appliances.  Stoves, Refrigerators, Air conditioning units.  Foam insulation panels. 2010 4

Applications  Low Stretch, high puncture film: • Foam insulation panels : 15-25% stretch • Roofing shingles: 20% stretch • Air conditioning units: 30% stretch 2010 5

Applications  Medium Stretch, high load retention film: • Brick & Block: 30-60% Stretch • Shipping sacks: 30-60% Stretch 2010 6

Applications  Super stretch: • Appliances : Stretch 50-100% • Pallets of cases : Stretch 60-90% 2010 7

Information to Know  Film Variables Tubing size, film type, slip, color, printing, Economics  Questions to ask Pallet/load size, load retention requirements, film sample, machine age and type  Key Film Properties to talk about Ability to stretch, load retention, film toughness 2010 10

The secret of Stretch O Max Film 1. The right bag size 2. Elasticity (not just stretch-ability) 3. Ability for the film to release from the arms with no tears 4. No tears due to double folds 5. Quality control, film consistency 6. Puncture strength  application specific 7. Load retention  application specific 8. Clarity  application specific 2010 11
