Protectabag

Protectabag has established a luggage wrapping service at Melbourne International Airport, where a service which is commonly available at major international airports around the world, but which until now has not been available in Australia, can be used by Australian travellers.

The service offers the traveller a quick and very economical method of protection for their suitcases, boxes, golf clubs, back packs, and any other items that they wish to carry on their flight either as check in or cabin items.

The service includes a strong film of stretch wrap plastic around the item, thus forming a secure envelope of protection against:

• pilfering
• objects being inserted
• handling damage
• rain damage etc

Also it:

• ties in any loose straps
• supports weaknesses in the packaging
• guards against the effects of zips popping open

The application takes less than a minute and allows for handles and wheels on the item to be freed so they can be used in the normal way.

In the current climate where airline security is critical, the introduction of this service provides another layer of comfort for travellers, as it ensures that nothing can be easily inserted into luggage and other items loaded onto the aircraft.

As such it is complimentary to other security initiatives routinely carried out at airports globally.

Other services offered by PROTECTABAG include bubble wrapping of fragile items, and supply of small carry bags for excess luggage.
