Posted under Events & Awards

ecopack packaging show

We will once again be exhibiting at the Packaging Innovations show, EcoPack.

This event will be held at the NEC Birmingham between 29 February and 1 March – we hope you’ll come and see us on stand F38.

We will be showing our exclusive stretch wrap turntable, which when used with our Polylite stretch films will give you the highest yields in Europe and additionally we will be creating some excitement by showing the ease of use and efficiency of our recently released ShrinkPro 010 shrink gun.

We have booked a larger space this year which we will be sharing with Elite Packaging Solutions and Evergreen PV – so there will be plenty of interesting products to see on our stand.

All covers are manufactured to the highest standards to ensure secure and protected pallet contents, both in storage and in transit. They are available in shrink and non-shrink versions, with sizes available up to air cargo pallet dimensions.
