A new service from Antalis guarantees customers time-crucial, tailormade corrugated wrap or box orders, delivered within three days, thanks to the installation of an Autobox AB300 boxmaking machine from Kolbus UK.
The introduction of the box-making service comes in response to growing demand from Antalis’ Packaging customers who have increasingly asked for smaller order quantities of boxes or wraps to ensure they can fulfil orders when, for example, demand spikes or to respond quickly to customer-specific requests.
Lesley Mercer, Head of Commercial Packaging, Antalis Packaging, comments, “We found there was a real and often urgent customer need for ad hoc box and wrap orders in bespoke sizes. The scale of the demand was such that we wanted to see what we could do to support existing and new customers.”
Customers can now order corrugate wraps and boxes from Antalis in styles and sizes specific to each job, as and when they are required. Right-sizing the packaging materials used also reduces waste, and it helps to increase efficiency in terms of reduced stockholding for the customer and decreases the use of void-fill. The box-making service, operates from Antalis Packaging’s facility in Leicester and currently offers a wide range of styles of corrugated wrap and different styles of corrugated box, available in order quantities as low as 100. Customers can also choose from single or doublewall corrugated.
