A furniture company started receiving complaints about damaged furniture upon delivery.

• The company had been draping a non-woven material over the upholstered furniture and then covering it with a shrink bag.
• The rubbing action of the non-woven material was causing upholstery abrasion during transit.
• As a result, the company was incurring costly returns, repairs and damage to its reputation.

Furniture Guard Plus coupled with Astro-Sheeter(R) system solved the damaged shipment problems.

• FG101 liner’s high slip characteristics allows the material to move freely on the furniture’s surface, eliminating abrasion.
• The outer film lamination offer puncture resistance and the middle foam layer provides the necessary cushioning.
• The Furniture Guard Plus system cost more, however, the overall cost benefits by being able to eliminate damaged goods more than justified the packaging expenditure increase.
