ntalis Packaging has updated its Stretch Film offering to help packaging and logistics companies tackle some of the common pain points of wrapping pallets.
Antalis conducted a review of its Stretch Film range after identifying common issues among a variety of customers.

Antalis Packaging extends its Machine Stretch Film range to cater for all load wrapping scenarios.

Get it right and there can often be significant savings in the volume and cost of film used. Environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, also need to be considered. The Antalis Packaging range includes weather-resistant films for goods stored or transported in extreme temperatures. The new, revamped range caters for all scenarios, with a choice of clear, blue and black films and thicknesses ranging from 10 to 23 micron, plus a selection of films made with 30 per cent post-consumer recycled waste content. The depth of stock products has also been increased.
Before buying a new film, Steve recommends taking advantage of Antalis Packaging’s free stretchCONSULT assessment, “It can be an eye-opening process for customers, especially when they see the savings they can make. Sometimes, there’s no need to change the film they’re using, once we have got the machine calibrated correctly, the difference in output can be staggering.”
