- Description
- Question: If the sample does meet with your requirements, how much shrink wrap would you actually be purchasing? Please estimate your quantity and dollar amount. Answer: On 40 inch width rolls, the Bureau (Ft. Worth & D.C.) uses approximately 1.5 million linear feet of cashpack film per year. Dollar amount will not be supplied. The Bureau of Engraving & Printing (BEP) is seeking a tamper evident flexible film that shall meet the performance requirements of the BEP?s Specification F: SW-5 dated March 19, 2003 for packaging cash-paks of currency notes with the following additional two requirements: For Section 3.3.8 (?Tamper Evidence?), in addition to the stated text, the film shall show highly visible evidence when punctured, breached or otherwise tampered with. For Section 3.4.4 (?Thickness?), the film shall be significantly thinner (0.002-0.005 inches ideally) than the current film in use with no loss of specified performance properties or end-use functionality, particularly with no loss in strength properties. Interested parties who want to participate in this effort shall submit a technical description and technical data sheet of their film along with a sample for BEP review. The BEP will work with the vendor in a collaborative effort to determine if the film meets the BEP?s requirements through practical trials of the film on BEP equipment as warranted. The technical description and sample (approximately 3 square feet) should be sent to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Attn: Office of Materials Technology, Dr. John F. Bobalek, Room 201-29A, 14th & C Sts., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20228. The technical data sheet should contain at minimum the following properties of the film: Impact Resistance ASTM D 1709, Tensile Strength ASTM D 638, Elongation ASTM D 638, Tear Propagation ASTM D 1922, Abrasion ASTM D 4157, Seal Initiation and Strength ASTM F 88, Hot Tack ASTM F 1921-98, and Shrinkability (in both the machine and transverse directions). If you have any questions, please contact Merwin Charles via fax at (202) 874-3135 or e-mail at merwin.charles@BEP.treas.gov. Telephone inquiries are strongly discouraged.
