STRETCH FILM

At the heart of our packaging solutions for the beverage industry is our use of high performance films for pallet wrapping. Our years of experience working specifically with beverage packaging are put to work in finding more and more advanced strategies that solve problems for our customers while reducing load failure and optimizing the way the film is used.

COST SAVINGS

When you partner up with Atlantic for your pallet wrapping, you gain the insight and experience of our sales and customer service team as well as our in-house technicians. This powerhouse of a team can make recommendations and adjustments to your overall pallet wrapping system, including equipment and film, that can support the most difficult loads in a cost effective way.

The expertise of our team helps to save money on both the front end, by reducing internal packaging or reducing the amount of film used, and on the back end, by making adjustments to the pre stretch settings or containment force that can significantly reduce the threat of load damage.

COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM

As a company, Atlantic is prepared to see our beverage packaging customers through changes and advancements in the industry. Our pallet wrapping solutions don’t start and end with selling film. We look at the big picture – from your existing equipment and specific applications to your requests for improvements or changes – and can have a hand in the whole packaging process to ensure that your load gets out the door safely and efficiently.

FILM EXPERTISE

Shrink and stretch packaging solutions for the beverage industry require creativity, balance, and finesse. The challenges presented when dealing with a live load, whether carbonated or still, are met through a team of specialists at Atlantic. We know and understand the unique needs of the beverage packaging world.

OUR EXPERTS

Atlantic invests heavily in human resources, employing engineers and technicians who specialize in film properties and application.

Our experts are put to work designing the proper mix of resins and extruder blends to create film specific to each application. The pre-stretch ratios are optimized for ideal performance and a balance is found between pre stretch and containment forces to provide containment without damage to the product.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

The technology and resources at our disposal, particularly with our Film Lab and through our MUST monitoring program, allow us to address the demands of stability, consistency, and product protection.

Stretch film properties cannot be detected simply by looking at the film. Problems are often found only after there has been damage. That’s why our MUST monitoring program is such an important part of our service to our beverage packaging customers. MUST continuously audits film application and collects data that our engineers can use to recommend adjustments for improved product protection, ultimately resulting in significantly lower unit costs.

CONSULTING


A partnership with Atlantic for your full beverage packaging operations is valuable in terms of lowering costs, reducing damage, minimizing downtime and improving efficiencies.

COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES

We have the opportunity to make the most significant impact for our customers with our consulting services, which encompasses a big picture, comprehensive analysis of the packaging equipment, material, application, and operator training as well as an understanding of the beverage industry and advancements in packaging strategy and technology.

MEETING DEMANDS

Using the Atlantic team as a consulting partner for beverage packaging provides a source of knowledge on the back end that allows our customers to confidently make the changes needed to meet demands as they arise.

The great value the Atlantic brings to our customers is the expertise, knowledge, and the technical resources that empowers businesses to make significant cost saving changes to their equipment and film application.

FILM LAB

The Atlantic Film Lab in Charlotte, North Carolina is an incredible resource where our technicians can test and quantify films for pallet stretch wrap. This allows our sales team to know for certain with empirical data that we can handle a specific issue you may be facing, or we can take on your beverage packaging operations and we have an accurate price quote on that project.

DATA DRIVEN COST SAVINGS

Our Film Lab represents potential cost savings for our customers. With our testing environment, we can make recommendations for down gauging shrink film and we can discover the real capabilities, tolerance and range of stretch film needed for a particular application.

PACKAGING WITH CONFIDENCE

The Film Lab also represents confidence in making the best possible changes or adjustments to equipment and film to match the application. The data we gather in the Film Lab allows us to make educated recommendations to our customers based on accurate, real world testing.

MONITORING

Our Material Usage Standards Tracking (MUST) system represents one of the most valuable opportunities we can offer to our beverage packaging customers. This system ensures that the recommended settings for the equipment – as pertains to the specific application – is maintained over time. It allows our service technicians to track changes or shifts in behavior, to investigate the cause of the change, and to make necessary corrections.

AUDITING FILM APPLICATION

The MUST system, exclusively from Atlantic and available for every brand of stretch wrapper, is a monitoring and communication system that continuously audits film application for improved product protection at significantly lower unit costs.

MAINTAINING STANDARDS

Our overall objective with the MUST system is to virtually eliminate damage and loss during shipping. The data it collects on your stretch wrapper helps our technicians and machine operators maintain the recommended stretching, application, and amount of film in order to reduce load shifting and damage.

The MUST system monitors every load that is wrapped on a given stretch wrapper, and the amount of film applied to a load is recorded and graphed in real-time. If a load is wrapped out of the engineered benchmark, production knows immediately.

MUST Monitoring gives plant personnel the necessary tool to ensure that no load ever leaves their facility with improper stretch film application.

SUSTAINABLE RESULTS

From our Film Lab to our MUST stretch wrap monitoring, Atlantic helps our customers eliminate waste and variability in pallet wrapping. This, in turn, helps eliminate substantial amounts of plastic in the waste stream while also reducing total film cost for the customer.

Our goals are to help our customers achieve sustainability in terms of optimizing equipment and film standards in beverage packaging. Setting and maintaining these standards will optimize the amount of film used for pallet wrapping and improve maximum load integrity, ultimately reducing product damage and waste.
