Wrap It Up Product Launch

For immediate release - 19nd of August 2016

We are Wrap it Up, a student run company established through the Young Enterprise Scheme, with the support of Western Springs College. We produce beeswax wraps, creating an elegant, affordable alternative to plastic wrap — generating a sustainable future.

Using plastic wrap to cover food may be convenient but it comes with significant environmental consequences. There are now over 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic waste in our oceans. Wrap It Up offers our customers a simple, affordable and sustainable product. Our beeswax wraps can be used to and cover food and dishes, and last for at least three months, but up to a whole year! They very easy to clean, and can simply be placed in a compost or general bin to decompose once they need replacing. The wraps have antibacterial properties because of the beeswax and jojoba oil infused into the fabric. From sandwiches to fruit and leftovers, our beeswax wraps will replace and surpass any single-use plastic alternative. As an added benefit they have a wonderful smell of honey!

Our beeswax wraps are for families, professionals and anyone who needs to cover their food.They are also perfect as gifts, with prices ranging from $4-$14 for small to extra large sizes. We also have an option to produce uniquely customised wraps featuring designs and logos for other businesses who want to advertise in a sustainable way.

Wrap It Up is excited to announce that our product launch will be taking place on Friday the 19th of August at Western Springs College. From this date our wraps can be purchased from the Western Springs College front office. For further information about who we are, our product and opportunities for businesses go to wrapit-up.co.nz.
