I. The Challenge Thuan An Company Aimed to Improve

In the context of a rapidly expanding trade and distribution sector, optimizing the supply chain, minimizing costs, and enhancing environmental responsibility are crucial factors for competitive advantage. Thuan An Trading & Distribution Co., Ltd. (Thuan An), located in Pho Keu, Dao Duc, Binh Xuyen, Vinh Phuc, is a company continuously seeking innovative solutions to improve its operational efficiency and sustainability.

As a distribution entity, Thuan An frequently faced challenges in packaging and securing goods on pallets to ensure their safety during storage and transportation. The traditional method of using PE film for pallet wrapping, while common, presented several limitations:

• High and Continuous Material Costs: The daily/monthly consumption of a large volume of single-use PE film created a significant cost burden for Thuan An.

• Negative Environmental Impact: The substantial plastic waste generated from used PE film was an urgent environmental concern, conflicting with the green logistics trend and the company's commitment to corporate responsibility.

• Suboptimal Operational Efficiency: Despite providing good securement, the process of wrapping and unwrapping PE film could be time-consuming, especially when urgent cargo inspections were required. For certain goods needing ventilation, airtight PE film was also not an ideal choice.

• Difficulty in Securing Diverse Cargo: Thuan An handles a wide variety of products, from uniformly sized goods to bulky, irregularly shaped packages. Efficiently and quickly securing all these types posed a significant challenge.

Thuan An recognized the need for a more effective, environmentally friendly packaging solution that would also ensure maximum cargo safety and operational flexibility.

II. The Solution Proposed by DARAVIN

Based on a thorough assessment and in-depth analysis of Thuan An's practical needs, DARAVIN – a professional provider of packaging and load securement solutions – proposed and comprehensively implemented two advanced types of pallet wrapping and securing products.

1. Reusable Pallet Wrapz Standard

• Technical Specifications: Measuring 0.5m x 3.8m, designed with 2 rows of smart ring buckle straps.

• Outstanding Advantages: This product was developed as a sustainable alternative to PE film. Its multiple-use capability significantly helps Thuan An reduce plastic waste and achieve long-term material cost savings. The ring buckle and strap system not only ensures secure load fastening but also facilitates quick and easy wrapping and unwrapping, optimizing handling time in the warehouse. Its mesh structure also provides necessary ventilation for certain sensitive goods.

2. ELASTIC PALLET NET

• Technical Specifications: Measuring 1.8m x 1.8m, with 12cm mesh openings and 4 corner straps, each 80cm long.

• Outstanding Advantages: Complementing the reusable pallet wrap, the ELASTIC PALLET NET is particularly suitable for securing irregularly shaped, bulky, or high-stability cargo. The netting's flexible elasticity allows it to snugly embrace and firmly hold loads on pallets, minimizing the risk of shifting or damage during transportation. Its large mesh structure enables easy visual inspection of cargo status without unwrapping, providing transparency and convenience for inventory checks and quality control. The corner straps offer maximum flexibility for adjustment and securement across various pallet types.

DARAVIN not only supplied the products but also partnered with Thuan An in technical transfer and optimizing usage procedures, ensuring the solutions were seamlessly and effectively integrated into the company's existing logistics system.
