Allpack has announced record growth in its ecommerce and carbon neutral sectors, after one year in its prestigious new headquarters in Cannock, Staffordshire.
After nearly thirty years in business, Allpack are an established and widely recognised provider in the UK packaging industry, servicing household brands in the retail and ecommerce markets.
They have now been in their new purpose-built 14,000 M² facility for one year since its official opening. This central location connects them to over a dozen of their European distribution hubs including France, Germany and Denmark.
Since the rapid expansion of the packaging market due to the pandemic, and home deliveries becoming the norm, customers have demonstrated a desire for sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic packaging. Subsequently Allpack have invested heavily in new carbon neutral packing materials, multi-trip containers, and paper-based alternatives.
With the additional leverage of the UK Plastic Packaging Tax introduced in April 2022, Allpack have successfully led the way in switching many of its customers over from traditional methods of packaging to environmentally friendly solutions.
One of these new innovations is PAPER BUBBLEWRAP, a brand new solution to the traditional plastic bubble material on a roll. Offering all the performance benefits of conventional bubble wrap, this innovatively designed paper-based solution serves to provide versatile protection for a range of products while ensuring simple, efficient packing and recycling.
Constructed from an ultra-lightweight, flexible centre-perforated paper, the bubble wrap’s flexible, fully recyclable sheets ensure maximum protection against knocks and abrasions and allow for consistent use, allowing for accurate tracking of material costs, for precise packing, no matter the setting.
Another game-changing plastic-free product is BoxBond™, a parcel tape constructed entirely from paper instead of polypropylene. An innovative, eco-friendly paper tape solution, Boxbond™ is 50% wider than conventional parcel tape, meaning just a single strip is required to seal a carton.
Boxbond™ creates a secure, firm seal without the need for expensive dispensing units, far outperforming traditional paper tapes and helping to reduce waste, increase process efficiency and save money.
Another first for the packaging industry, and led by Allpack, is the first PAPER document wallet ever produced. Made from a high-quality, landfill-biodegradable kraft paper, Docket™ eco-friendly, plastic-free document wallets maximise efficiency and simplify waste management, eliminating the need to be removed from cartons prior to recycling.
This versatile document storage solution is suitable for numerous applications and for use in both cool and humid climates, with a strong, solvent-free adhesive to securely affix documentation to a range of surfaces. Hexcelwrap™ also, is a recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable packaging breakthrough, offering high-performance packing and a host of design benefits in one unique solution.
The wrap’s unique interlocking pattern opens up from a neatly flat-packed storage state, gripping tightly to products and adhering to itself with ample cushioning, removing the need to use wrap, fill and tape in combination. What’s more, Hexcelwrap™ can be torn to the required amount in seconds, reducing packing time by up to 50%
Constructed from 80gsm kraft paper, Hexcelwrap™ is entirely recyclable and constructed from renewable sources, making it one of the most sustainable packaging solutions on the market.
In summary, it is recyclable, biodegradable and compostable, eliminates the need for wrap, fill and tape, speeds up packing times by up to 50%, and minimal storage space required.
Finally, a product that is not paper-based but however is fully Plastic Packaging Tax compliant, is e-cover™, Made from at least 30% recycled content and perforated for easy dispensing, e-cover™ top sheets are a green alternative to conventional polythene sheets, offering protection from dust and water damage and coverage for standard and European pallet sizes.
Ideal for storage and transport applications, this innovative, sustainable pallet cover is both Plastic Tax-compliant and easy to apply to palletised loads, offering seamless dispensing of purpose-designed, made-to-fit lengths from a roll, for added speed and simplicity.
