ANTALIS Packaging has told Packaging Scotland it is strengthening its support for customers north of the border in the face of rising demand for packaging across a range of sectors including food and drink, pharmaceuticals, and logistics.
In bolstering its Scotland-based packaging sales force, the firm added that it can now offer customers access to its full range of services, as well packaging products stocked locally.
Julie McGrady has joined the team as business development manager. As a qualified packaging technologist with a background in design and sales, including luxury packaging, Antalis revealed she brings a wealth of understanding of the packaging industry and the latest in packaging innovation.
Norman Robb, regional sales manager for packaging in Scotland, said, “We’re really excited to be expanding our geographical coverage in Scotland so businesses across the country can take advantage of the exceptional packaging products and services we offer. We expect to be announcing further updates about the expansion of our services in Scotland over the coming weeks and months.”
The services customers in Scotland are now able to benefit from include bespoke packaging design. Antalis’ Smart Packaging Centre (SPC) is a lab designed to help clients resolve packaging-related challenges. The SPC’s packaging designers and technologists can develop designs to address issues such as in-transit damage, box storage and pallet optimisation, and reducing material usage.
Customers can also access machinery solutions. Antalis’ machinery team and in-house engineers can advise on systems that are said to increase quality and efficiency of output, including Lantech and Masterline machines. Antalis offers free analysis of its clients’ packaging use, operations and distribution set up, and gives recommendations to help make improvements.
Additionally, the company provides free consultancy services and audits designed to help optimise packaging processes, improve load security, and reduce consumption of materials.
