It is inevitable that the government’s increase in employers contribution to National Insurance in April will impact on the industry to a considerable extent.

There is still a significant amount of hand stripping undertaken at a time in which employers are forced to look at staffing levels. However, mechanising the process may be the solution, proved to reduce the labour element of the process by up to 75%, freeing up other resources.

For a limited period, Cartostrip is offering to supply its products at pre COVID prices to help support the industry.

Two hand held units are available for the carton and corrugated sector, details of which are available on their website www.cartostrip.com along with demonstration videos on different types of board.
