7 reasons why Liquim® is the ideal choice for your industry

In the beverage industry, packaging stability and moisture resistance are crucial in order to ensure that products reach their destination intact. Many manufacturers experience problems with the formation of condensation on palletised goods or with moisture seeping up through the bottom of the pallet. At worst, it can result in damaged goods and unstable pallets. Liquim® by Palcut offers an innovative, liquid-proof anti-slip paper designed specifically to meet these unique challenges, providing superior protection and efficiency across the logistics chain.

Here are 7 reasons why Liquim® is the optimal solution for everyone working with palletising and transport in the beverage sector:

1. Unmatched liquid resistance for humid environments: One of Liquim®’s standout features is its liquid-proof barrier. In the beverage industry, spills, condensation, and high humidity levels are common. This increases the risk of products slipping or getting damaged during transport. Liquim® is engineered to maintain its anti-slip properties in moist conditions, keeping your bottled or canned beverages secure, even when exposed to liquids. This resistance makes it ideal for use in breweries, distilleries, and warehouses where moisture levels can impact packaging integrity.  

2. Enhanced stability with anti-slip technology: The anti-slip technology in Liquim® slip sheets prevents unwanted product movement, providing critical stability during transit. In the beverage industry, products are often stacked high on pallets, creating a higher risk of slipping or toppling over if improperly secured. Liquim®’s anti-slip properties ensure that stacks remain stable, significantly reducing the risk of damaged goods. By preventing product displacement, Liquim® helps companies avoid costly returns and logistical disruptions.

3. A hygienic solution: Hygiene is crucial in beverage production, especially with products destined for consumption. Liquim®’s liquid-proof design prevents absorption, which reduces the likelihood of bacterial growth. This is a significant advantage over traditional slip sheets that might retain moisture and harbour contaminants. With Liquim®, beverage companies can ensure a cleaner, more sanitary packaging process that aligns with high industry standards.

4. A responsible and sustainable option: With increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices, the beverage industry is constantly seeking eco-friendly packaging solutions. Liquim® fits this need by being recyclable and reducing the dependency on plastic and corrugated cardboard. Liquim® is an opportunity to demonstrate your company’s commitment to sustainability while enjoying a durable, liquid-resistant product. For beverage companies with corporate sustainability goals, Liquim® is a great choice that blends functionality with eco-responsibility.

5. Cost savings in packaging and transportation: Do you dream of reducing your consumption of packaging materials? Liquim® enables beverage companies to cut down on packaging costs by minimising the need for additional securing materials, such as extra plastic wrap. Its moisture resistance also reduces the chances of product damage, helping companies avoid reworks and replacements – which involve the use of additional packaging materials. This cost-effective solution supports efficient logistics, as stable and secure pallets move seamlessly through transportation processes, lowering handling time and labour costs.

6. Ideal for heavy beverage shipments: Liquim® gives you exceptional durability and high tensile strength, which makes it ideal for the heavy loads typical of the beverage industry. Large orders of glass bottles, kegs, or cans require materials that can withstand substantial weight without compromising stability. Liquim® is designed to support these heavy shipments, providing reliable support across long distances. This durability is a key factor in Liquim®’s suitability for beverage logistics, where weight and load security are critical.

7. Reliable solution across all phases of beverage logistics: Liquim® is a versatile solution that can be used in every phase of beverage logistics, from warehousing to last-mile delivery. Its anti-slip and moisture-resistant qualities make it adaptable to various environments, from cold storage facilities to warm warehouses. Whether your company transports goods locally or internationally, Liquim® can support your needs, ensuring pallets remain stable across different climates and conditions.

What is the difference between Antim® and Liquim®?

Antim® is another popular choice of anti-slip paper from Palcut. Both Antim® and Liquim® are designed to enhance stability but differ in their applications. Let’s take a closer look at how they compare for use in the beverage industry.

Material composition and performance

Antim® is a high-quality anti-slip sheet suitable for dry environments. It effectively holds items in place but lacks the liquid-proof barrier found in Liquim®. While Antim® works well for many industries, it may not provide the necessary protection in moist or humid settings typical of beverage storage and transport

Liquim®’s moisture resistance provides peace of mind, allowing beverage manufacturers to protect their products without compromising stability or safety.

Liquim®, however, is tailored to environments where exposure to liquids is expected. Its liquid-resistant barrier prevents moisture from affecting the anti-slip properties, making it perfect for beverage companies that need robust protection against spills and condensation.

To sum it all up

For beverage companies seeking a packaging solution that withstands moisture, enhances stability and aligns with responsible and eco-friendly goals, Liquim® is an excellent choice. Its unique combination of liquid resistance and durability makes it an asset in any logistics chain, from breweries to bottling plants and beyond. By understanding the specific strengths of both Liquim® and Antim®, beverage businesses can make an informed choice that ensures their products arrive safely, securely, and in optimal condition.

Liquim® by Palcut is not just a packaging material—it’s a strategic choice that offers protection, efficiency, and sustainability in a single product, making it an ideal investment for anyone in the beverage industry.
