In a notable advancement towards enhancing its packaging procedures, an international confectionery manufacturer has implemented new palletising equipment, shifting from outdated cardboard layer sheets to a contemporary paper solution dispensed from a roll. This transition aims not only to boost operational efficiency but also to promote sustainability in food and drink packaging.
Initially, there were concerns regarding the potential effects on pallet stability. However, the manufacturer proactively sought a solution by partnering with Lindum, an industry pioneer in innovative packaging solutions.
Lindum utilized its expertise on-site at the manufacturer’s facility in Slough, UK, by deploying a mobile pallet stability test lab to conduct thorough comparative trials between the traditional cardboard sheets and the new Caregrip anti-slip paper.
The results from these trials were encouraging. The Caregrip anti-slip paper not only equaled the performance of the cardboard sheets but also improved pallet stability. This enhancement is vital for ensuring the safe transport and storage of products in the food and drink sector.
Throughout the testing phase, Lindum offered unwavering support, ensuring that the new material was specified correctly and trialled thoroughly. This strong collaboration facilitated a seamless transition and successful integration of the Caregrip anti-slip paper into the business’s packaging operations.
With the new palletising system now functioning seamlessly with the Caregrip solution, the company marks a significant milestone. This innovation not only alleviates initial concerns regarding pallet stability but also supports their overarching sustainability goals by decreasing reliance on traditional cardboard, thus enhancing their food and drink sustainable packaging initiatives.
Rick Sellars, Sales Director at Lindum, stated: “We are thrilled that the company achieved such positive results with our Caregrip anti-slip paper. This collaboration underscores the importance of innovation and partnership in overcoming industry challenges and enhancing operational efficiency.”
As the company continues to implement its new palletising system, the enhanced stability and operational efficiency are set to significantly benefit its logistics and distribution processes. This development positions them as a leader in the industry, establishing a new benchmark for sustainable and effective packaging solutions.
