B. L. Ingalls Project Report on Shrink-Wrap Packaging Tests for Calidria Bags and Pallets (1973)

Project report describing tests of individual-bag and pallet shrink-wrap packaging for Calidria products (RG-244, RG-144, SG-210) conducted in September 1973. It reports on dust confinement, package and pallet integrity, moisture pickup, film costs and equipment, and concludes that individual bag shrink-wrap was the more effective process, with a purchase of Master Packaging equipment planned for RG-244. Attached are a Union Carbide Films-Packaging Division data sheet on outdoor pallet wrapping and sample cost calculations.
