New Eco-Range from Antalis Packaging is completely carbon neutral

Packaging Solutions

Antalis Packaging has launched its Eco-Range of corrugated box products, suitable for secure packaging applications. Enhanced with a heavy duty, single wall corrugate, the Eco-Range offers the same level of protection as a standard double walled alternative.

Offering 40% lighter materials than a double wall equivalent, the streamlined design allows for a 30% increase in the number of cartons per pallet. Made from FSC certified board, the Eco-Range is made from 100% reclaimed materials and is in turn 100% recyclable.

The product range is available in six standard size configurations, and has its green credentials printed onto the carton to assure customers of its eco qualities. With carbon neutrality, for every 1.5 tonnes of materials sold, Antalis will plant four trees in a forest in Kettering, Northamptonshire.

‘Cost savings are crucial for large volume packers, and the fact that our Eco-Range can match the durability of double walled boxes perfectly is key. We are the first packaging company in the UK to offer our own range of carbon offset boxes, and our products in the Eco-Range have been subject to rigorous edge crash testing to ensure they live up to our standards. This gives our customers a double benefit of cost-savings and the ability to demonstrate their environmental responsibilities,’ commented Jason Poxon, packaging technologist at Antalis.
