Something’s wrong with Vrunda MacNeil, the girl from down the lane. It seemed innocent at first when she began talking to an imaginary friend who she claimed was a delivery man, but things quickly turned sinister. Seemingly out of nowhere, the furniture shakes and moves on its own, strips of plastic film creep in from the corners of the walls, and previously loose articles are suddenly bundled and palletized.

When the two packaging experts arrive, they find

Electrostatic Discharge, or ESD, can be devastating in packaging and shipping. This issue is no more prevalent than in the world of electronics and flammables, where items are incredibly sensitive to static shock. In fact, experts estimate the global cost of ESD damage to be around $5 billion per year.

Our Specialty Stretch Wrap

With desperation etched across her face, the new warehouse hire Tabitha could feel her voice tremble as she implored her supervisor Alan, "Where, oh where, do I place these precious, plastic remnants of hope?" She had recently embarked on her recycling journey within the cavernous expanse of the warehouse, cherishing every discarded scrap of plastic as a chance for redemption.

With a heavy sigh, Alan's voice carried the weight of shattered dreams as he muttered, "Behold, our barren wasteland, the abyss into which all aspirations are consigned." Gesturing to the colossal, ominous trash receptacle, he added, "Everything, dear Tabitha, is destined for that gaping maw. A forsaken fate, it awaits the forklift's melancholic embrace but once a week."

Overwhelmed by the cruel reality, Tabitha's trembling hands released the remnants of her dreams, surrendering them to the yawning chasm. Plastics, cardboard, and the fragile echoes of her aspirations spilled over
