Extreme Pallet Wrap

I've just been reading about our boys out in Afghanistan, and their water requirements (Packaging News Dec 2009) There is so much that has to be considered, from having to wrap the pallets three times more than normal, to survive air drops; to the type of plastic for the bottles so that they can survive the extremes of temperature +50 to below minus at night. And on top of all that the lads have got people trying to kill them; maybe the credit crunch isnt as bad as it seems.
