Antalis settles into Dartford facility

In the last 12 months, the division added 66 new clients, driven largely by the company’s free Smart Audit.

Aligned to its company-wide ‘Challenge Antalis’ initiative, the free audit sees Antalis’ raft of packaging experts visit customer premises and make recommendations for improvements. This has already made a big impact on customers, with one being able to reduce the cost to pack items by a huge 70% and another able to downsize their warehouse by as much as 30%.

Kerry Rickwood, regional company packaging manager for Antalis, says: “We transformed the packaging for a crystal company that couldn't sell their lamps online because they always arrived broken. By providing our foam-in-place system we solved their problem and now they can send lamps all over the world with no damages. We also made friends with a lot of warehouse workers, because of the work we did in demonstrating cost savings through the investment in a pallet wrapper, this means they no longer have strain themselves wrapping pallets by hand.”
