What key trends do you see currently influencing the Stretch and Shrink film market? 

Escalating supply chain cost, including warehouse space and transportation. In addition, the push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from government regulations and company initiatives. Both issues can be solved with the new ARC product from Abzac.

What innovations are helping to reduce transportation and warehousing footprints in your packaging solutions? 

The Abzac ARC core significantly reduces wall thickness and core OD. This reduction leads to higher storage density on raw materials (30%) and finished goods (6%).

You will be speaking at the Stretch and Shrink Film event, could you share a little preview of what you will be talking about and what you are looking forward to?   

Environmental impact reduction! The Abzac ARC core is a revolution in paper core technology, allowing us to reduce warehouse space, transportation cost and environmental impact. I am looking forward to introducing this new technology to the world!

What are you most looking forward to at this event, and why do you think it’s important for the industry to come together at forums like this?

Allowing the industry to work together to exceed government and industry standards to create a better future through reduced environmental impact.
