Antalis Packaging has published the first edition of ‘The Big Book of Packaging’, an essential resource showcasing the latest advancements in packaging materials, machinery, and sustainable solutions. Designed to support businesses across the UK and Ireland, this new publication highlights how Antalis continues to lead the way in all things packaging.
Antalis remains at the forefront as the packaging industry evolves, helping businesses optimise their packaging processes while embracing sustainability. Committed to helping its customers reduce packaging waste and offering alternatives to plastic, Antalis is pioneering solutions such as bamboo-based materials and ocean-recovered plastics. These innovations reflect Antalis’ proactive approach to environmentally responsible packaging.
The Big Book of Packaging provides an in-depth look at Antalis’ expertise in packaging, which features insights from its team of specialists. The book explores how Antalis helps businesses navigate the challenges of modern logistics through free audits and by utilising cutting-edge solutions such as its Smart Packaging Centre (SPC). The SPC is Antalis’ state-of-the-art facility based in the Midlands that offers customers packaging demonstrations, bespoke design services, and testing facilities, for example, to optimise packaging material usage without compromising structural integrity.
The book addresses questions regarding:
– What criteria should be used to evaluate the efficiency of packaging materials and design?
– How can companies effectively balance cost management with sustainability?
– What resources or strategies are recommended to optimise packaging operations?
Chris Liddell, Antalis Packaging Director – UK, said: “Effective packaging isn’t just about material costs —it’s about minimising damage, optimising cost per pack, and enhancing the customer experience from unboxing to disposal. This book demonstrates the knowledge that Antalis Packaging has and the strategies we use to help our customers and businesses balance cost management with sustainability and efficiency – whether through using less materials, optimising design, choosing non-plastic alternatives or automation of packaging using the latest machine technology.
