Range said to be carbon-neutral

The product has a heavy duty, single wall corrugate and is said to offer the same level of protection as a standard double-walled alternative.

Offering 40% lighter materials than a double-wall, the 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 tons 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’re 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,” comments Jason Poxon, Packaging Technologist at Antalis.
