The new cotton twine machines from Antalis Packaging offer a 100% natural alternative to traditional strapping. Whether securing packages, cardboard boxes, pipes, textiles, magazines, or other packaging materials, these machines allow binding that offers a sustainable solution for packaging needs.

Antalis offers a variety of machines in the range, giving full flexibility to wrap a whole host of different products, from small nails and gifts to wooden planks. There is even an option to include the twine machine in automated packaging lines for maximum efficiency.
Twine wrapping machines use cotton and recycled cotton that have a natural feel and are biodegradable after use, making them the perfect option for reducing plastic from packaging lines. Common uses include strapping, bundling, retention, and even aiding presentation. They also aid safety as they do not have a ‘memory’, so they will not spring out of bins or off packaging, causing a tripping hazard on floors.
Twine machines use a unique twine-tying method that offers several advantages over traditional strapping. The cord is tied around the product or packaging, creating a secure bond without the need for additional sealing materials or machinery. The knot is also easy to open, eliminating the need for scissors. This method is particularly suitable for smooth or sensitive products, as it doesn't cut into the surfaces and maintains tension evenly. It's also ideal for binding difficult-shaped items.
Packaging Product Manager at Antalis, Amy Skingsley, comments: “Twine solutions are available to suit different applications, product types, volumes, and budgets. There are also different cord colours, types and machine tensions to suit any product or application—elastic and rigid, thick and thin. This, combined with the sustainable benefits of using natural binding, low ongoing running costs, and relatively cost-efficient consumables, makes our twine wrapping machinery ideal whatever the end application.”
