YPS further noted that as part of its collaboration with Gopak, it has initially provided a hire machine to demonstrate the capabilities of the company’s machinery and film offering.

Gopak managing director Andrew Fieldwick said: “We weren’t convinced that our furniture could survive the carrier network with just polythene to protect it, but YPS has proved us totally wrong.

“We’ve made great savings in the cost of packaging materials and warehouse space, along with the obvious importance of providing improved customer satisfaction.

“Throughout the whole process YPS has given great support and taken time to fully understand our particular requirements.”

The company currently manufactures lightweight, folding educational and community furniture.
