Haloila, part of the Signode Industrial Group, has introduced a new pallet wrapping machine for low-end capacity lines within its Octopus range.

Called the Octopus Compact TSi, the machine provides optimal load containment while optimising the film usage.

The TSi completes the Octopus Compact series by being a model with an integrated top sheet device as standard.

“By having the integrated top sheet device for dust and waterproof wrapping as standard enables significant space savings on the factory floor," Haloila GM Jari Paavola said.

"Also, the wrapping process is more efficient as there's no stand-by time when the top sheet is added during the wrapping cycle.

"The top film positioning is extremely accurate and there is no film seaming on top of the pallet allowing a solid top cover.”

The new model features No Touch No Tail seaming with durable cutting element, available as standard.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
