Headquartered in Cincinnati, OH, Wrap & Send Services (WSS) provides onsite shipping and gift wrap services to Fortune 500 and other top retailers nationally.  The company processes over 800,000 shipments and gift wrap transactions annually and is committed to providing "Same Day Service" to its clients - guaranteeing that customer orders received by 2:00 PM are processed and shipped the same day.

At one of their clients, a distinctive luxury department store chain, WSS was experiencing a steady increase in orders for cosmetic and beauty products.  Coupled with slower processing times associated with the use of other types of packaging materials, WSS faced a challenge:  Maintain package quality while increasing output, reducing labor costs and improving upon their "Same Day Service" standard.

Geämi Sustainable Protective Packaging is typically faster to use than bubble or foam type materials in wrapping applications because it iswss_results.jpg produced on-demand as needed by packers.  Would Geämi prove to be the solution WSS was looking for?
                                                                                      
To find out, the company conducted a trial in their client's landmark 5th Avenue store in Manhattan where processing times had become especially challenging.  The productivity benefits of Geämi Sustainable Protective Packaging became apparent immediately.  The hourly output of orders processed by their packers increased by over 50% and in turn, labor costs were reduced.  Based on Geämi's performance during the trial, WSS saw the opportunity to cut labor costs by nearly $30,000 annually at this one location alone - all while maintaining their "Same Day Service" standard.

Additionally, WSS was able to further improve the in-the-box presentation of this upscale retailer's mj_quote.jpgproducts by using the branded Geämi tissue interleaf printed with their client's logo.  Geämi is the only protective wrapping material to offer this type of branding opportunity.

Having successfully met the challenge, the Geämi Sustainable Protective Packaging System was installed in some 30 shipping locations managed by WSS - becoming the only packaging material used for wrapping and protecting cosmetic and beauty products.
