Innovative Rust Prevention That Saves Money and Saves the Planet: ARMOR DEFENDER™ VCI Bag BMW Case Study
Ballroom Main Stage
Discover how Armor Protective Packaging® revolutionized BMW's rust prevention with ARMOR DEFENDER™ VCI bags, saving pounds of plastic from use or landfill. ARMOR replaced BMW’s 4 mil VCI poly bag with DEFENDER, a 3-layer rust prevention film designed to position VCI on the inner layer for optimal protection of metal parts, while utilizing the middle and outer layers for enhanced barrier protection, durability, and puncture resistance. This innovative construction allows the film to be downgauged by 25-30% without compromising effectiveness, resulting in significant cost and resource savings for BMW.
