IND passengers can wrap their bags in a snap with Secure Wrap

INDIANAPOLIS—Luggage-wrapping company Global Baggage Protection Systems, Inc. d/b/a “Secure Wrap®,” has announced that it has reached an agreement with the Indianapolis Airport Authority to begin offering its luggage-wrapping service at the Indianapolis International Airport beginning July 15, 2011. Secure Wrap® will be located at both ends of the airport’s upper level near the airlines’ ticket counters and will operate between 4 a.m. and 8 p.m.

For a nominal fee of $9 or $12 depending on the purchase of the guarantee per bag, passengers can have their luggage wrapped with state-of-the-art machinery capable of processing a bag in less than 30 seconds. Secure Wrap®’s 100% recyclable, tamper- resistant plastic film is custom designed to adhere perfectly to all types of luggage and other checked items, providing protection against travel wear and tear.

“We are very excited and look forward to working with the airport and the airlines to offer this service to the passengers of IND,” said Daniel Valdespino, executive director of Secure Wrap®.

According to Valdespino, “The biggest challenge we have is educating the passengers about the re-wrap process with the TSA (Transportation and Security Administration). They wonder if protecting their luggage is pointless if TSA is going to open their bag.”

However, Secure Wrap® has worked hand in hand with TSA in other U.S. Airports since 2003, and has established a process to quickly re-wrap Secure Wrap® items that are opened for secondary inspection. “Our goal is for the passenger’s bag to arrive at its final destination wrapped and protected even if it was opened by TSA,” said Valdespino.

Secure Wrap® is not only the pioneer but also the leader in the implementation, design, installation, operation, and maintenance of baggage-wrapping services, specializing in check-in baggage security. Secure Wrap® currently operates in 53 airports in 19 countries worldwide. More information is available at www.securewrap.com.
