Here our engineers can test the properties of a film that our customer is currently using and gauge their needs as far as the application where the film is being used. TESTING, TESTING, TESTINGWe learn a great deal about film properties and capabilities when we test in our Film Lab. The data we collect and our expert analysis provide direction to our sales and technical personnel, so they can make recommendations that will add value to our customers’ packaging operations. DATA-DRIVEN RESULTSOur film specialists use the equipment in our Film Lab to provide evidence-based results that demonstrate to our customers exactly how a film can affect their overall packaging performance. |

You can trust Atlantic to provide materials, equipment, and service above and beyond the competition.
AUDIT

The initial audit we perform for any new customer is the foundation of Atlantic’s flexible packaging process. Our specialized film technicians analyze your current flexible packaging equipment, materials, and overall process. OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCEThe audit drives our recommendations for optimized systems and materials. It provides a basis for measuring performance of new film or different adjustments to the existing equipment. Rather than providing a price quote up-front on a project, we begin with the audit and then determine the most accurate price quote based on our observations and recommendations. DECADES OF EXPERIENCEIn addition to the data collected during the audit, our customers also benefit from the decades of experience behind our sales, support, and technical teams. Our collective knowledge and resources give us insights into how flexible packaging can be best utilized in nearly every application. This allows us to cut costs, decrease downtime, and improve the overall packaging operations for our customers. |
