Tier 1 automotive powertrain manufacturer
Producing new part and need a streamlined VCI film bag solution
Easier for their employees to pack and close the VCI film bags, allowing them to save on time and material cost
Local ZERUST® representative visited the customer’s facility to measure the tote used for their new part, and a new optimal VCI film bag size was calculated
A Tier 1 automotive powertrain manufacturer started producing a new part that required ZERUST® VCI protection during shipment to the end user. The manufacturer had an existing supply of ZERUST® 2 mil Ferrous Yellow VCI film bags. However, the VCI film bags were too large for their new application and they found their employees were spending extra time on close winding the excess material into a twist, to seal the VCI film bag closed in the returnable tote. They contacted ZERUST® with the goal of finding a streamlined solution to make it easier for their employees to pack and close the VCI film bags, allowing them to save on time and material cost.
A local ZERUST® representative visited the customer’s facility to measure the tote used for their new part, and a new optimal VCI film bag size was calculated. Samples were produced and a test fit exercise was conducted on-site at the production line by the ZERUST® representative.
ZERUST® 2 mil Ferrous Yellow VCI bags protect powertrain parts from rust & corrosion

Customer Satisfaction
100%
The 2 mil ZERUST® ferrous VCI film bags were replaced with a smaller sized and optimum thickness ZERUST® VCI film bag. This saved the customer $0.025 per bag without compromise in performance or protection. The customer typically uses 1.2 million ZERUST® VCI film bags per year resulting in a $30,000 direct material savings. This excludes the customer’s much larger labor cost savings due to shorter packing cycle time with the change.
