Atlantic Packaging, the largest privately owned industrial packaging company in North America, is pleased to announce its newly designed CanopyTM Wrap system. The solution for fully curbside recyclable bundling applications replaces traditional shrink film and now runs on nVenia equipment, utilizing paper from Smurfit Westrock. CanopyTM Wrap delivers a competitive offering to customers seeking to prioritize sustainability without compromising performance and efficiency through a tested fiber wrap material and high-speed application process.
“Atlantic Packaging is excited to deliver the new Canopy™ Wrap system as part of our larger, ongoing efforts to help the supply chain transition away from single-use plastics,” said Atlantic Packaging President Wes Carter. “When it comes to shrink bundling for bottles, cans and food products, the shrink film is typically the only component preventing full curbside recyclability. Canopy™ Wrap helps overcome this barrier, making it easier for companies to meet their sustainability goals as we collectively work together to implement sustainable packaging solutions for a healthy planet.”
By utilizing equipment from nVenia, Atlantic Packaging is able to deliver a high-speed, automated solution for application at up to 30 bundles per minute. CanopyTM Wrap offers equivalent material use from PE to paper, resulting in up to 100 percent reduction in virgin plastic. The system has been validated via rigorous full scale ISTA 3 test protocol and also allows for custom printing options for branding and marketing. Additionally, Canopy™ Wrap equipment solutions from nVenia are now available as a retrofit to existing bundling machinery or as a dedicated high speed bundler.
“We are proud to partner with Atlantic on this solution as ongoing pressures of new legislation, consumer demand, and priorities in the c-suite to reduce waste and create sustainable packaging continues to drive more environmentally focused purchasing decisions,” said nVenia Senior Vice President of Sales Paul Ferrandino. “We look forward to helping customers achieve their sustainability goals while helping set a new industry standard with Canopy™ Wrap.”
Canopy™ Wrap is part of Atlantic Packaging’s sustainability initiative, A New Earth Project, which is focused on finding innovative solutions to eliminate plastic waste and transition to more sustainable packaging. With a mission to rid the world’s oceans, lakes and rivers of plastic pollution, A New Earth Project connects brands, suppliers, and consumers in a collective effort to create a healthier planet.
