Nelson, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/25/2016 -- A recent broadsheet newspaper report has drawn attention to a statistic which is set to have big implications for packaging and businesses that use it in 2016. According to the report, one person in a year is now capable of accumulating up to 200kg of packaging materials through the products they buy. This is a figure which suggests that the weight and scale of packaging is significant, and a number of consumers are buying into it. There are subsequent and increasing calls for this to be reduced however, as this current level of packaging may add up to 13 million tonnes being wasted; entering the UK's waste stream or landfill.

A key reason why levels of packaging have reached such heights, it is anticipated, is because companies often opt for profound and even bulky packaging, which makes products stand out. This may be a form of marketing, but it also makes the issue of growing packaging and waste more evident. In turn, a number of businesses are set to be under pressure in 2016 to streamline and reduce the weight and scale of their packaging.

Measures to reduce packaging and instead increase efficiency are already being undertaken by some of the best businesses. This includes switching from boxes to bags and rather than extensive plastic containers, opting for a durable and tightly-sealed plastic option such as shrink wrap. Keen to comment on this was Adpak, an expert in the field:

"Recent packaging statistics may put businesses under pressure to increase the efficiency of their packaging this year, in order to reduce waste and weights. Shrink wrap could be considered an important method within this, as provides a tight plastic coating and air-tight seal; therefore avoiding bulk, remaining lightweight and versatile, so can suit a number of items. We are offering a wide range of new and used machines accordingly."

Lancashire, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/18/2015 -- According to a recent study carried out by Smithers Para, the global industrial packaging market is set to achieve an annual growth rate of 3.4% by 2020; a highly significant figure. The industrial packaging market was estimated to have a value of $48.6 billion globally in 2013, and this is expected to reach $61 billion in the next five years. It is therefore seen as increasingly important that businesses involving industrial packing – whether producing it or using it for their own products – take the right moves now to maximise their gains in a growing market.

An important way businesses can benefit financially from this positive market is to invest in their own industrial packaging where possible. After all further data in the 'Future of Industrial packaging to 2020' reports showed that the largest share of the industry packaging market (31%) is now in Asia, rather than Western Europe. By getting involved more actively in packaging, it is expected that Western businesses can help to reclaim some of this market share.This may mean opting for own industry-packing machines on-site; an increasingly popular choice for manufacturers.

Keen to comment on the optimistic outlook for the future of industrial packaging was Adpak, a supplier of newand used shrink wrap machines.

A spokesperson had this to say:

"Predicted growth in industrial packaging is important, as emphasizes the potentials in the area. Not only does it mean thatindustrial goods can be expected to be wrapped to a high quality – as is often required - but also UK businesses can benefitfrom them too. For example, if you work in industry and have industrial items coming off the conveyor belt, packaging them as they are done is cost-effective and efficient; rather than transporting them to a separate packaging facility. That is why we offer a range of shrink wrap machines, allowing for greater autonomy when it comes to industrial packaging."

Nelson, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2015 -- An EU Commission meeting on the 2ndDecember has resulted in new packaging recycling targets. The move is apparently intended to streamline the process and work towards greater sustainability – as excessive product packaging is one of the key components of landfill every year.

The Commission put forward packaging recycling targets which are staggered - aiming for 65% by 2025 and 75% by 2030. It is expected that this will provide an important incentive for retail businesses to make more informed packaging choices. The Commission's decision has raised the publicity of sustainable, efficient packaging further – and therefore many customers will now be expecting a level of sustainability too.

A key example of an industry expert aware of the importance of recyclable packaging is Adpak. The business provides a range of shrink wrap machines; which can work with recycled plastic wrap. Furthermore, they endorse sustainability in the work they do – as by providing retailers with their own packaging machines, this reduces fuel emissions on transporting goods for separate packaging. A used machine service is also available, ensuring that equipment does not go to waste. A spokesperson had this to say:

"Following the Commission meeting it appears focusing on recycling is more important than ever. We want to urge businesses to realise that they can co-ordinate their packaging to fit these requirements; even if they use plastics! We support shrink wrap as a potentially sustainable choice, as it's air-tight fits cuts down on excess material and it can be part of recycling initiates in itself. The more businesses that consider these types of packaging, the easier it will be to fulfill these recycling aims."

Adpak is an experienced provider of packaging machines and equipment, including shrink wrap solutions. They work across industries and offer both new and used machinery.

Nelson, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- It may come as a surprise to some that McDonald's is making big steps in sustainable packaging use. Fast food is often not associated with responsible sourcing, but the popular chain has overturned this assumption – announcing that on a European level all its centrally-purchased packaging is sustainably sourced. This is set to increase popular focus on the importance of responsible and effective packaging.

McDonald's have also said that a range of packing items such as cartons, napkins and bags are made from recycled wood or from sustainably certified forests. The company set ethical packaging targets in December 2011, and that now they are seeing such results seems proof that a closer consideration of the packagingmethods we use can lead to improvements.

It is expected that the news from McDonald's will stimulate interest across industries – with it being seen as increasingly attractive to pick packaging which is resource-effective and potentially sustainable. This can even apply to plastic packaging, which is not only popular, but can be recycled and incorporated into methods which actually cut down on resource use.

About Adpak
Quick to comment on the sustainable packaging interest was Adpak, a prime shrink wrap machine provider and industry expert. The business frequently reflects on related news and a spokesperson had this to say:

"It is brilliant that big companies such as McDonald's are setting a good example and increasing conversation about sustainable packaging. Making effective packaging choices can benefit the environment, as well as being cost-efficient. Here at Adpak, we understand that shrink wrap machines can be part of sustainability too, not only providing a tight film covering which cuts down on excess usage. By having their own machines, companies no longer need to transport their goods to other sites for packaging. This means emissions can be reduced and sustainability maintained."

Nelson, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/20/2015 -- Arcadia is a notable mixed-media show which frequently tours, bringing viewers an array of aerial stunts, light displays and experimental theatre. It often becomes a popular and well-attended event which requires effective equipment and high-tech knowledge in order to run smoothly.

An interesting component which allows the shows to go to plan is in the form of shrink wrap! It may be surprising, but it fulfils the qualities needed of a durable, quality material to protect valuable equipment. For example, in order to protect cable runs against water, shrink wrap can be applied at an industrial strength. Shrink wrap is a plastic polymer film which brings the qualities of durability and flexibility to the packaging process.

Furthermore, shrink wrap has a history of impressive industrial uses. For example, it is often used to bind pallets in warehouses and in terms of the maritime industry, it has even been applied to small boats to protect them in the colder months.

In turn, it is expected that increasing numbers of businesses will utilise the benefits of shrink wrap approaching Christmas. The versatility of ways in which it can be used is impressive and with packaging often a key consideration in the festive period, it really matters that it is delivered effectively. A company who know the essential importance of this is Adpak – providers of a range of shrink wrap solutions and machinery.

They are frequent commenters on industry news and were quick to reflect on the publicity of the Arcadia shows:

"The fact that huge entertainment events like Arcadia are showing the benefits of shrink wrap is a significant positive." A spokesperson said, "It shows that shrink wrap can be versatile and useful for heavy use. Therefore it is not only ideal for sealing a range of products, but protecting important equipment against the elements too."

Nelson, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/15/2015 -- A team of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have recently announced plans to develop spacesuits with a design inspired by the fit and properties of shrink-wrap. The team have explored the properties of lightweight, stretchy materials – which shrink wrap, a polymer film which can be stretched to a number of applications on heating - has potentially inspired. Although the material the scientists plan to work with is anticipated to be a shape-memory alloy, it is anticipated that it will respond to heat and allow for consistent coverage, a little like shrink wrap does.

Shrink wrap is a widely utilised form of packaging – and can be considered of especial inspiration, as it is not solely used to package commercial goods. Recent projects incorporating the polymer film have included the wrapping of boats in marinas to protect them from bad weather, and containing pallets and industrial equipment to keep them together. The versatility of shrink wrap usage means that new applications and inspirations are regularly explored.

About Adpak Machinery Systems
Adpak Machinery Systems are prime providers of a range of shrink wrapping equipment, and understand the extensive benefits of this form of packaging. They appreciate the extensive qualities of the material and were quick to comment on the recent news:

"We think that these increasing innovations in spacesuits are highly exciting and we want to wish those involved the best of luck. It is also straightforward to see how shrink-wrap could have been a material of inspiration. Shrink wraps allows for a consistent tight coverage of plastic polymer film – meaning that it holds waterproof and dust-resistant properties. Those travelling in space are looking for similar features, as they obviously need complete protection. Although it's not quite space-age, we are proud to offer a range of shrink wrapping machinery which we would say is out-of-this world – for efficiency and price. It can be applied to a number of goods and you can speak to a friendly member of our team for more information."

Nelson, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2015 -- Important business attention has been significantly directed towards the recent Packaging Innovations London 2015 event – a gathering of companies, suppliers and buyers with a vested interest in effective packaging solutions. The event incorporates a number of trades and industries, highlighting the importance of providing products with that perfect final finish. With the accompanying statistic that the global packaging market is worth at least $6.5bn and growing – this highlights that packaging is a prime area in which to invest, and full of business interest.

The increased worth and attention in relation to the global packaging market appears to accompany the increasingly accessible nature of high-quality goods and equipment to allow businesses to complete the package process themselves. Technological advances unlike the rise of machinery which can be used on site to offer fast packaging solutions at increasingly affordable prices. Shrink wrap machines are a key example, with many businesses embracing the diversity and adaptability shrink film offers. In this light, the factor of multi-adaptability is important in the world of packaging – as many companies seek a solution suitable for use across a varied product range, allowing for cost-efficiency and time-saving.

About Adpak
Adpak are a key example of a packaging provider, fully up-to-date with contemporary business demands. They recognise the importance of quality packaging in competitive markets, and are frequent commentators on industry news.

"Positivity is evident, in terms of the Packaging Innovations London event and the increasing worth of the market," A spokesperson said "This means that the time to invest in packaging has never been better. Shrink wrap is an ideal example of a package type which is innovative and easily adaptable to a variety of needs."

"Although, at the event, people may see increasingly complex and futuristic forms of packaging – a key issue is that these may not be immediately affordable. Shrink wrap, however, offers the factor of cost-efficiency as well as accessibility. It is relatively straightforward to purchase a shrink wrapping machine, so you can even package on-site – giving a fine finish. We would urge any business to consider shrink wrapping as it is still an innovative form of packaging for their products."

Nelson, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/17/2015 -- Recent news from the US emphasizes that not only can shrink wrap be used as an innovative form of packaging; it can also be incorporated into a sustainable recycling scheme. Since it began in 2006, the Ohio Clean Marinas Recycling Programme has allowed for more than £2.2 million worth of shrink wrap to be recycled. The recycled wrap is then utilised to create other plastic products such as guardrail blocks, used to protect roads. In short, this single recycling programme has allowed for an effort which has equated to the equivalent of 47 buses' worth of shrink wrap being recycled and 412 miles of roadway protected by the guardrail blocks formed as a result.

Therefore, shrink wrap could be seen as holding prime potential to be used as a sustainable, constructive packaging solution due to its suitability for a diversity of needs – from packaging food stuffs to providing a protective coating for moored boats. Shrink wrap has extensive benefits which can suit a number of applications. Therefore, the ability to recycle the wrap is a step further in its positive usage.

About Adpak Machinery Systems Ltd
Adpak Machinery Systems Ltd are key providers in new and used shrink wrap machinery, as well as experts regarding the protective polymer film. They are also frequent commentators in industry news and were quick to reflect in light of the US figures.

"We think that the efforts to incorporate shrink wrap into recycling schemes in the US are a great incentive" A spokesperson said "This highlights how shrink wrap can be used substantially, yet sustainably. The possible environmental benefits of packaging in this way can be expanded when companies have their own means of packaging – like a shrink wrap machine – it means production and packaging can be efficiently carried out in the same place, rather than transported from producer to packer. This is just one example of how time and miles can be saved by shrink wrap and the factor of sustainability upheld."

Nelson, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/15/2015 -- Forward Finishing, a key assembly service and business, is a prime example of how getting good packaging is a key factor and indicator of company success. This is in light of the news that the business has been keen to emphasize its recent expansion, to a much bigger 149sqn rented premises in Bournemouth, from a smaller area in Poole. Such expansion has indicated the only way is up, as has seen the company buy a new shrink wrapping machine –adding to their very well-used existing model.

The business has been significantly bolstered by the economic advantages that come with effective packaging. The first shrink wrapping machine allowed for efficiency and that lasting finish to their product output, whilst a second allows for potential and an improved specification – really embracing business expansion and new space.

Adpakare leading providers of shrink wrap machinery as well as frequent commentators in the industry. They were quick to comment in light of latest news.

"The growth of Forward Finishing is so encouraging and we really wish them well in their new premises," A spokesperson told us "The move of the business also highlights a significant correlation between business success and effective packaging. Many companies involved in manufacture often notice significant degree of efficiency and even money-saving as a result of investing in a shrink wrapping machine. Forward Finishing were doing better and better with the model they had and their choice to invest in another is likely only to lead to further efficiency.

We hope that other businesses can see that business efficiency like packaging on-site and investing in a shrink wrap machine – or two, if you're getting bigger – is a highly progressive way to go in business."
